London is known for its good selection of musicals, but when there are so many different shows how will you know which is best suitable for you? Check our list of the eight must-see musicals in London this year.
The Lion King
When someone asks me if I can recommend a musical I always respond “Lion King”. Even though there are several years ago since I saw it for the first time I still remember it; the acting, the music, the costumes and scenography. This is the perfect good-feel musical if you want to bring your kids or your friends.
Where: Lyceum
Theatre
Address: 21 Wellington Street, London, WC2E 7RQ
Mamma Mia
With all the known songs from Abba this is a perfect musical for a night out with the girls. Mamma Mia has a good dose of humor, love and tears and is suitable for everyone from the early age to the elderly. And with the new Mamma Mia-movie coming up later this year, what better way to prepare for that than to watch the musical?
Where: Novello Theatre
Address: 5 Aldwych, London, WC2B 4LD
Matilda The Musical
Based on the book by Roald Dahl this musical is about a young girl who has unusual powers and follows her through her battles with her parents and her headmistress Miss Trunchbull. This musical is perfect for kids but is also suitable for older people, with humor and amazing scenography.
Where: Cambridge Theatre
Address: 32-34 Earlham Street, London, WC2H 9HU
Thriller – Live
And then one for the adults; Thriller. And this musical is not just for any Michael Jackson fan, it is for everyone who loves music. This is a night that you will never forget. Need I say more?
Where: Lyric Theatre
Address: 29 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W1D 7ES
Les Miserable
This musical has touched countless hearts with its tale of justice, injustice, love, redemption and revolution. Well worth taking a night to fall in love with.
Where: Queen´s Theatre
Address: 51 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W1D 6BA
Aladdin The Musical
This is actually one of the newer ones, as it started in London in 2016, but it has been a massive success. It is based on the magical life of Aladdin and everyone who has seen the movie or read the book knows that they are in for a treat.
Where: Prince Edward Theatre
Address: 28 Old Compton Street, London, W1D 4HS
