Frequently asked questions
What is the longest-running musical in London?
Les Misérables, which opened in London in 1985 and now plays at the Sondheim Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue. It is the longest-running musical in West End history.
Where are the West End musical theatres?
Most are around Shaftesbury Avenue, Covent Garden, Leicester Square and the Strand, within walking distance of Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and Charing Cross stations.
Are there musicals in London outside the West End?
Yes. Smaller theatres across the city produce musicals too, often more intimate shows or early versions of productions that later transfer to the West End. They are listed here alongside the big West End shows.
Do I need to dress up for a West End musical?
No. There is no dress code in West End theatres, and most people wear everyday clothes. Some like to dress up for a special occasion, but it is entirely up to you.
