    And trust us, we’ve got something for everyone - whether you fancy hopping aboard a high-speed train (Starlight Express), setting sail on an unsinkable ship (Titanique), or zooming back to the future in a flux-capacitor-powered DeLorean (Back to the Future).

    With so much to choose from, here are the top musicals you need to book before they disappear faster than a theatre ice cream in a heatwave…

    The Book of Mormon | Pay no fees

    Hailed as one of the funniest musicals of all time, The Book of Mormon is an outrageous, laugh-out-loud, shockingly clever satire from the creators of South Park and the minds behind Avenue Q. The story follows Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, two young Mormon missionaries sent from Salt Lake City to Uganda, where they’re tasked with converting locals to their faith. But the villagers are more concerned about warlords, poverty, and disease than religion - forcing the hapless missionaries to get creative (and increasingly ridiculous) with their teachings.

    Since its 2011 Broadway debut, the show has won nine Tony Awards and four Olivier’s, including Best New Musical, and continues to sell out in the West End. Packed with unforgettable songs, rapid-fire jokes, and just the right amount of heart, The Book of Mormon is not for the easily offended - but perfect for anyone who loves comedy that pushes boundaries.

    The Great Gatsby | Save up to 42%

    Get ready for champagne-soaked decadence as the award-winning Broadway musical The Great Gatsby finally arrives in the West End on 11 April. Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel, this much-loved musical transports you straight to the heart of the Roaring Twenties, where the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby throws extravagant parties in the hopes of reuniting with his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. As Gatsby’s carefully curated world starts to crumble, secrets, heartbreak, and scandal unfold in this sumptuously staged production.

    Featuring a spellbinding jazz-infused score, dazzling period costumes, and an unforgettable atmosphere, The Great Gatsby has already wowed audiences on Broadway and is set to be the most glamorous new show in town.

    It’s time to fetch your pink outfits and head to the West End before Mean Girls closes on 8 June! Based on the 2004 cult classic film, this high-energy, laugh-out-loud musical follows Cady Heron, a teenager who moves from Africa to an American high school - only to find herself caught in a battle with the school’s ultimate clique, The Plastics. As Cady gets sucked into their world, she must decide whether she’ll stay true to herself or become just as mean as the girls she’s trying to defeat.

    With a hilarious book by Tina Fey, an infectiously fun pop score, and dazzling choreography, this show has been a West End favourite - but this is your last chance to see it before you can no longer sit with them.

    Mrs Doubtfire the Musical | Great seats from £39.50

    This heartwarming comedy is saying “Toodle-loo, poppets!” as it prepares to leave the West End on 26 April.
