A collection of West End shows based on successful movies and TV shows.

The last couple of years have seen a boom in movies and TV shows making the leap onto the stage, with plenty of Hollywood and British films getting a film-to-stage remake, and a succession of classic and current TV shows – from the streamers to the BBC – coming to the West End stage.

Here we round up a collection of current favourites in the West End, both shows now playing and coming soon.
