March Shows in London

As London wakes from its deep, wintery slumber, the West End continues to march right along with the best of the best, from long-running classics to new arrivals ready to take the world of live entertainment by storm.

Spring season on the West End

The cold gently fades as spring dawns on the city, bringing with it new blooms, new opportunities, and a host of new shows ripe for the picking. Here are some of the best shows to look out for this year.

Clueless The Musical

A modern retelling of Jane Austen's Emma, Clueless The Musical is an adaptation of the iconic 1995 film. It follows queen bee and resident matchmaker Cher on her latest "project" - newcomer Tai. Alas, love isn't quite as easy as Cher believes it to be. Opening at the Trafalgar Theatre this February, this production is as much an homage to its predecessors as it is a fresh take on a timeless tale of love, friendship, and life lessons, all wrapped in a cozy spring bow.

My Neighbour Totoro

One of Hayao Myazaki's greatest works, My Neighbour Totoro is a tale of two little girls and their magical quest through the stages of grief. A testament to the magic of a stage production, this adaptation at the Gillian Lynne Theatre features stunning set design and puppetry, bringing the animated tale to life and tugging at the heartstrings. With vibrant, brilliant colors and incredible acting at the forefront, this is a must-watch for the season.

Mamma Mia!

A fast-track ticket to the islands of Greece with ABBA's greatest hits blasting through the speakers? Sign us up! The stage adaptation of the beloved film franchise transforms the auditorium at the Novello Theatre into a Mediterranean paradise as Sophie uncovers the mystery of her birth on the way to wedded bliss. There isn't a better way to welcome the spring warmth than this.
