On 23rd September 2020, David Bedella, Hannah Waddingham and Joe Stilgoe along with a superb cadre of West End musicians gave of their time and talent in a show laced with equal parts emotion and humour to benefit charities that support the UK theatre community.

Each Wednesday from 9th to 30th September, a dazzling line-up of the West End's most well-loved singers will perform alongside some of theatre's top musicians in West End Unplugged (live from L-Acoustics Creations in Highgate, London) - a series of four 45-minute charity concerts.

An only concert Hello Harry! - A Celebration of 40 Years at Stage Door, will be held in honor of Harry Gabriel, hosted by Giles Terera and the Shaftesbury Theatre, and featuring Dame Judi Dench, Anthony Hopkins, Chita Rivera, Beverley Knight, Eddie Izzard, Clive Rowe, Sharon D Clarke and more.

Sadly, the 2020 Olivier Awards won't be going ahead as planned due to the coronavirus shutdown, although ITV will broadcast a highlights show. So, BroadwayWorld reviewers have been thinking back to some of our favourite Oliviers winners, nominees and performances from past years - plus some of the incredible nominees from this year who we would have loved to see honoured.

The 2020 Oliver Award nominations have been announced!

The producers of & Juliet have announced that there will be a special sing-a-long performance of the acclaimed show at the Shaftesbury Theatre on Tuesday 12 May.

Atlantic Records has released '& Juliet (Original London Cast Recording),' the official companion to the new West End musical featuring the music of legendary pop songwriter Max Martin. The 30-track collection arrives today, including a stunning performance of brand new pop anthem 'One More Try' by multiplatinum BRIT Award-winning and GRAMMY® Award-nominated songstress Jessie J.

Have you ever dreamed of seeing Juliet wrest control of her destiny from William Shakespeare, aided by a liberated Anne Hathaway, all while belting out stone-cold Nineties and Noughties pop bangers? Well, you're in luck! This jukebox musical take on the Bard is pure sugar rush a?' and with enough groan-worthy puns and panto pleasure to make it a raucously fun Christmas outing.
