The Musical at the Piccadilly Theatre; brand new Broadway musical Mrs Doubtfire at the Shaftesbury Theatre; and joyous Gershwin musical Crazy For You at the Gillian Lynne Theatre.
All this plus a wealth of long-running musicals, including Disney’s Frozen The Musical at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Disney’s The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre, Les Miserables at the Sondheim Theatre, Mamma Mia! at the Novello Theatre, Six The Musical at the Vaudeville Theatre, and The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre.
