American theatre classics and Broadway hits in the West End

From groundbreaking modern dramas to timeless musicals, American theatre has long made its mark on the West End stage. Discover legendary classics and new Tony-winning Broadway shows now thrilling UK audiences.

New Broadway shows now playing in the West End

Fresh from Broadway, these hit productions have crossed the Atlantic and taken up residence in London’s West End.

Stereophonic, the most Tony-nominated play in history, brings its 1970s rock studio drama to London following its record-breaking run in New York. Also new to the West End is Good Night, Oscar, starring Sean Hayes in a Tony-winning performance as pianist and entertainer Oscar Levant.

Long-running Broadway legends that feel like West End originals

It’s easy to forget that some of the West End’s longest-running hits began life on Broadway.
The Lion King has been enchanting audiences at the Lyceum Theatre for 26 years, and Wicked has cast its spell at the Apollo Victoria Theatre for 19 years, but they both started life in America. With such enduring success in London, it’s hard to believe they both began across the pond.

American classics in the West End

Timeless American stories continue to resonate on the West End stage. Arthur Miller’s masterwork All My Sons, starring another American classic, Bryan Cranston, brings post-war family tragedy into sharp focus with every revival. Meanwhile, The Great Gatsby Musical transforms F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic tale of decadence, ambition, and illusion onto the stage.
