One of the stagiest weekends in London's calendar, West End LIVE returns for another incredible weekend this summer.

The event is the largest musical theatre festival in Europe and will see nearly 40 shows from across the West End take to the stage in Trafalgar Square on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th June 2022.

Last year’s event - which took place last September - involved a record 830 performers, creatives and production staff. The event is a joint venture between Westminster City Council and the Society of London Theatre (SOLT). SOLT are also the team behind the Olivier Awards and Kids Week.

Each year, everyone involved in West End LIVE - including the incredible performers onstage - feels immensely privileged to be part of such a unique event, bringing audiences together with the shows they love, thanking theatre fans and welcoming new ones.”
