Our run-down of the Top New Musicals to see in London in 2023.
The West End is never short of a good musical, and that goes double for 2023 for an impressive line-up of new shows and revivals coming to town.
Broadway is exporting some crowd-pleasing shows to London for 2023, with an array of top creative talent heading over to the UK. Shows heading our way from New York include huge Broadway hit Mrs Doubtfire The Musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre, brought to London by four-time Tony Award winning director Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!).
In terms of revivals of great musicals, we have the blockbuster new production of Crazy For You at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, coming from a five-star run at Chichester Festival Theatre, directed by Broadway legend Susan Stroman and starring the multi-talented West End man of the moment, Charlie Stemp; and Nick Hytner is directing a thrillingly immersive new production of Broadway classic Guys & Dolls at the Bridge Theatre starring Daniel Mays, Andrew Richardson, Celinde Schoenmaker, Marisha Wallace and Cedric Neal.
Brand new musicals are becoming a rarity in the West End, so when we have some we need to celebrate them! New musicals heading to town in 2023 include comedy musical Operation Mincemeat has already enjoyed a number of sold-out runs in London, and now gets a West End home at the Fortune Theatre; and Rebecca The Musical, based on Daphne du Maurier’s classic novel, coming to the Charing Cross Theatre.
