Firstly, what this isn’t. It isn’t a collection of shows that LGBTQ+ people might like, because they, we, us, them, obviously like every possible shade of theatre.

But that said, musicals and plays that tackle topics about and aligned to the LGBTQ+ experience are especially interesting to gay people; and LGBTQ+ people – like all people – want to see themselves and their experiences reflected back to them from the stage, so this collection also includes shows that feature LGBTQ+ characters.

It’s an eclectic mix of West End Shows, but then, so are people.
