Musicals are the best way to kick off the summer; they transport you away into a world of complete joy along with some absolutely amazing tunes along the way. Why not book some tickets to see a much-loved show as they tour their way around the UK?
We Will Rock You
We Will Rock You is definitely a musical for rock music fans! Expect to see lots of electric guitars and motorbikes with amazing costumes and staging. You won’t want to miss out as you sit back and enjoy a jukebox musical that includes 24 Queen hits which will have you toe-tapping your way through the whole performance. Even if rock music isn’t your thing, you’re bound to enjoy the entertaining plot that depicts a quest to restore freedom in a world where everyone is the same.
The Cher Show
The Cher Show is yet another jukebox musical which includes musical hits from the legendary Cher such as ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ and ‘Believe.’ In an original concept the show follows Cher throughout three stages of her life, including three different actresses playing the icon during these stages. It sure is set to be a sensational show that oozes out stardom and glitter!
Les Miserables
Les Miserables really is a classic when it comes to musical theatre. Even if you haven’t seen the musical you have probably heard the songs ‘I Dreamed a Dream,’ ‘On My Own,’ and ‘Master of the House’ on more than one occasion (we have the majority of television talent contests to that of that).
This is a musical that is emotional and touching, following the story of convict Jean Valjean who seeks redemption in the aftermath of the French Revolution. Les Mis is one of the most popular musicals out there so it is only right that you make a trip to see it.

Waitress
Fancy yourself a musical comedy that will provide you with a barrel of laughs? Waitress follows the story of waitress Jenna who is currently in an unhappy marriage… until she sets eyes on a new doctor who has entered the town. The story is a hilarious concept that is filled with love and happiness. Waitress will definitely become your comfort show and you just won’t be able to get the songs out of your head by the end of the performance!
Six
Six is a refreshing take on a historical, Tudor story that everyone knows. It reinvents history and places Henry’s wives at the front of the tale, giving them a chance to all come together and tell their stories. You’ll be left singing all of the songs as well as wanting a wardrobe as dazzling as the Queens’.
Mamma Mia
Mamma Mia… everyone has watched the films but have you watched the stage production? If you love a bit of Abba and a good ol’ love story then you are going to love this one. Set on a Greek island, Sophie attempts to find her father – the only problem is, that he could be one of three men. This musical is hilarious yet heart-warming at the same time and is bound to be one of your favourites in no time.
Bat Out Of Hell
You’ve got to love a jukebox musical. Especially one that consists of Meat Loaf’s greatest hits. Enter a world of true rock and roll mixed with a true love story as rebel Strat falls in love with Raven. Just like We Will Rock You, there’s definitely an appearance of one or two motorbikes in true rocker style. You’ll be left feeling like a rebel of ‘The Lost’ yourself after immersing yourself in the world of Meat Loaf.
