3 West End Musicals you HAVE to see!


I am probably one of the biggest theatre lovers going at the moment and i totally love going down to London to see a West End show. So i thought i would come up with a little-list of shows you must see before they finish!

1. The Lion King - an adaptation of Disney's incredible animation. Set in Africa, the show uses incredible traditional African costumes to disguise the actors as animals from the Savannah. Not only is it visually stunning, but the staging and the music is incredible.


2. Les Miserables - Obviously this was gonna come up somewhere in the list but being the longest running show in the west end it's got to feature in this list somewhere!? The Ballads in this show are extraordinary and the simple but effective set is just mind-boggling and it is definitely worth going to see! They now have surround sound installed in the theatre so the gunshots feel SO REAL.


3. Billy Elliott - The tale of a Durham Boy Ballet Dancer in the time of the miners strike is obviously going to be an interesting story! I saw this a couple of years ago and recently saw it again in the cinema when it was broadcasted. This musical will have you laughing one minute then in tears the next.


So there you have it, my top 3 west end musicals! There is also this thing in the summer called 'Kids Week' where you can get FREE tickets for shows so it's definitely worth checking out!


I'm probably gonna try and blog regularly because i enjoy it haha please subscribe though!!
