Can You Feel The Love Tonight? (The Lion King)

The top musical love song has to be The Lion King’s ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight?’ written by Elton John. You can see this number performed live on stage at the West End’s Lyceum Theatre where it has been playing for 25 years. The song is sung by Simba and Nala in the production (and films), who are one of musical theatre’s most beloved couples.

One More Try (& Juliet)

& Juliet is the West End’s feel-good night out featuring the best pop songs from the past 30 years; all written by Max Martin. The soundtrack features hits from Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life and Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way to Ariana Grande’s Break Free and The Weeknd’s Can’t Feel My Face. The only original song, One More Try, is performed by Juliet and Romeo and appears on the Original Cast Recording sung by Jessie J.

Helpless (Hamilton)

Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the most prolific names in musical theatre today, having written the hugely successful Hamilton and Disney’s Moana and Encanto. He directed the Oscar-nominated tick, tick… BOOM! The song "Helpless" was sung early in the musical by Eliza Schuyler as she falls for Alexander Hamilton.

Stop The World (Come From Away)

Come From Away is the incredibly heartfelt musical based on a true story that transpired in the wake of 9/11. The song ‘Stop The World’ is sung by the characters Nick and Diane, who are based on a real life couple. The musical opened at the West End’s Phoenix Theatre in 2019. 

Only Us (Dear Evan Hansen)

Dear Evan Hansen is the vital musical of today, telling the story of a teenager Evan who gets caught in a web of lies which leads him to the one thing he always wanted: to fit in. The song ‘Only Us’ is sang by the characters Evan and Zoe. The number was performed live at the West End’s Noël Coward Theatre, when it opened in October 2019.
