London Theatre based on popular songs you know and love

A guide to London Theatre shows featuring popular songs that you already know and love.

At WestEndTheatre.com we are big champions of brand new musicals: the West End is dead without new work from talented creators flowing through our theatres.

But there’s also room for shows where you already know the songs – whether it’s shows that mash up other popular musicals, shows that are based on the back catalogue of a famous music artist or band, or that reveal the true story of an artist’s life through their songs. 

So enjoy this special collection of London Theatre hits that feature songs and music that are already well known. Plus also see our collections of West End Musical Comedies, epic London Musicals, and our full list of what musicals are playing in the West End.
