& Juliet
Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers meet Britney Spears, Katy Perry, N'SYNC and the Backstreet Boys - creating one of the most entertaining new musicals in town. This clever romp sees Juliet choose her own path, accompanied by the incredible back catalogue of mega-songwriter Max Martin.
Girl from the North Country
Conor McPherson presents Bob Dylan's songs in a completely new way, drawing out the soulful poetry to support this Depression-era American fable. It's a welcome return for this Old Vic hit.
City of Angels
Another much-deserved, albeit delayed, encore: Josie Rourke's acclaimed Donmar Warehouse production finally reaches the West End. This super-stylish love letter to film noir and old Hollywood features a swinging score and stars Hadley Fraser, Rosalie Craig, Rebecca Trehearn, and Vanessa Williams.
Leopoldstadt
The great Tom Stoppard's new work, set in the titular old Jewish quarter of Vienna in the early 20th century, is a distinctly personal one, inspired by his own family's experiences. Patrick Marber directs, and the cast includes Adrian Scarborough, Ed Stoppard, Dorothea Myer-Bennett, and Faye Castelow.
Magic Mike Live
Channing Tatum adapted his male stripper film into a live stage experience, and - if booming sales are anything to go by - London audiences love it. The show is co-directed by Tatum and Alison Faulk. Expect dancing, acrobatics, and many other delights of an 18+ entry variety.
The Prince of Egypt
Stephen Schwartz has supplied new songs for this theatrical version of the DreamWorks film about the life of Moses. The West End company features Luke Brady, Liam Tamne, Christine Allado, Alexia Khadime, Debbie Kurup, Gary Wilmot, Adam Pearce, Tanisha Spring, and Silas Wyatt-Burke.
Everybody's Talking About Jamie
This heart-warming musical about a boy who wants to wear a dress to his school dance is still going strong, thanks to its inclusive message and exuberant Dan Gillespie Sells score. Noah Thomas stars from January, alongside Melissa Jacques, Preeya Kalidas and Roy Haylock (AKA Bianca Del Rio).
9 to 5 the Musical
Dolly Parton and Patricia Resnick's musical version of the beloved movie blends upbeat slapstick with a (sadly still resonant) portrait of workplace sexism. The current West End cast features Caroline Sheen, Chelsea Halfpenny, Natalie McQueen, Bonnie Langford - and David Hasselhoff.
Thriller Live
This popular Michael Jackson tribute show - featuring a talented company performing his most famous songs and dance routines - will close at the soon-to-be-refurbished Lyric Theatre in April after an 11-year run. So, this may be your last chance to catch it in town.
Curtains
Amazingly, this is the London debut for Kander and Ebb's musical whodunnit about a murderer hiding amidst the company of an ailing Broadway show. Paul Foster's production stars Jason Manford as the detective who also has a keen eye for showbiz.

A Number
Caryl Churchill's thrilling, thought-provoking, and typically slippery drama addresses big ideas: human cloning, parenthood, individual identity, scientific ambition, and nature versus nurture. It's revived at the Bridge by Polly Findlay; Roger Allam and Colin Morgan star.
Le Corsaire
English National Ballet's swashbuckling romp transports you to a faraway land, where a dashing pirate dodges evil schemers and seeks happiness on the high seas. Anna-Marie Holmes's lavish production features design by Hollywood's Bob Ringwood, a romantic score, and of course thrilling dancing.
A Christmas Carol
The Old Vic's popular Charles Dickens adaptation is now on its third run. And no wonder: it combines a heartfelt script from Jack Thorne ("Harry Potter and the Cursed Child") with stirring music and delicious mince pies. The current Scrooge is Paterson Joseph.
The Snowman
It simply wouldn't be Christmas without this festive favourite - a staple for more than 20 years. Raymond Briggs's children's book is transformed by Bill Alexander and Robert North into enchanting, family-friendly entertainment.

A Taste of Honey
The National Theatre's revival of Shelagh Delaney's revolutionary kitchen-sink drama, about a difficult mother/daughter relationship in post-war Salford, comes into the West End. Bijan Sheibani's production is infused with blues and soul, performed by the onstage band, and stars Jodie Prenger and Gemma Dobson.
Swive [Elizabeth]
Ella Hickson's blistering new play for Shakespeare's Globe places Elizabeth I in a dangerous patriarchal context - the queen fighting to maintain control of her image, personhood and power. Natalie Abrahami directs, and the cast features Abigail Cruttenden, Nina Cassells, Colin Tierney, and Michael Gould.
