The West End's free outdoor extravaganza West End Live 2017 returns this Saturday and Sunday. The stars of MOTOWN brought their beat to the outdoor concert series, check it out below!

MOTOWN THE MUSICAL is the record-breaking smash hit that tells the true story behind the beat that changed minds, touched lives and took the world by storm. Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations- Motown the Musical shows how these legendary artists and so many more created the soundtrack that transformed America. With over 40 classic songs such as "My Girl," "What's Going On," "Dancing in the Street," "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," this explosive Broadway event is the next chapter of Motown's incredible history- and an experience you'll never forget.

Get ready for outdoor dancing and sing-a-longs with the best of the West End's musical theatre stars: West End Live is back. It's the initiative that turns some of the most expensive forms of entertainment in London into the cheapest fun going. Each year, casts of some of London's best West End musicals emerge blinking into the open-air for a weekend of free alfresco performances in Trafalgar Square.

And watch out for solo sets from West End megastars including Ferris and Milnes, Rachel Tucker, Kerry Ellis and John Owen-Jones.
