A crowd of over 150,000 is expected to turn up for the free event which takes many of London’s most famous stars out of the theatres and into the open air for a bumper weekend of acting, dancing and singing fun.

As well as the show highlights, there will be what organisers call a “wonderful array of interactive exhibits from many of London’s top museums, galleries and cultural institutions”.

Full line-up details are on the official site and for tickets to all the shows featured at West End LIVE, see our own theatre section.

West End LIVE runs from 11.00am to 6.00pm on Saturday 19 June and on Sunday 21 June from 12.00 noon to 6.00pm.
