encoded: The Carabao Cup Final 2026 is rapidly approaching and we now know who'll be stepping onto the grass of Wembley Stadium this March. Manchester City and Arsenal have confirmed their spots, after City emphatically beat last year's winners Newcastle 5-1 in the recent semi-finals. Meanwhile Arsenal secured a two-goal lead over Chelsea. For Arteta's side, this will be their first Carabao Cup final since 2018 and the potential of their first major trophy since the FA Cup Final in 2020, but winning that will mean beating Guardiola's squad, who are looking to secure a ninth Cup win.

description: Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
encoded: Legendary theatre star Leslie Odom Jr is returning to Hamilton this summer to reprise his role as the original Aaron Burr... sir. The actor will be bringing the part to London's Victoria Palace Theatre for a strictly limited nine week run, making his West End debut in the process. Odom won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his part in Hamilton's original Broadway run, and a Grammy Award for his performance on the original cast recording. He returned to the role on Broadway for a sell-out 12 week season in Autumn last year. Following the announcement, he said: "Returning to Hamilton and revisiting the role of Aaron Burr with the growth and perspective of time has been a profoundly healing artistic experience. I am having so much fun! "I am thankful to Cameron Mackintosh and Jeffrey Seller for the invitation to make my West End debut with this fabulous company. The London production will grant me a few more glorious weeks to share Lin-Manuel’s music with an international audience who, I have learned, love this show as much, if not more, than I. I’m crossing the ocean and I just can’t wait.” Meanwhile, Cameron Mackintosh said today: “When Jeffrey Seller first invited me to see Hamilton during its New York try-out at the Public Theater over 10 years ago, I was knocked out by Leslie Odom, Jr.’s electric performance as Aaron Burr opposite Lin-Manuel’s unforgettably charismatic Alexander Hamilton. "So, I’m absolutely thrilled that London will now be able to share the experience of Leslie for a short season, joining the brilliant new cast we have playing this revolutionary musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre.” Odom will be starring from 3 July – 5 September 2026. He will join a new cast for this run which is due to be announced on 15 June. Last year, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton celebrated 10 years since its first Broadway run, where it became one of the most explosive shows in musical theatre history. For those unfamiliar, Aaron Burr acts as the narrator o…

description: It's criminal we haven't seen Warner on stage before.
encoded: Hollyoaks star Owen Warner is set to make his stage debut this March as the lead in the much-loved West End run of Witness for the Prosecution. The Agatha Christie drama is the second longest-running of her plays (after The Mousetrap of course) having been at London's County Hall since 2017. Based on the 1925 short story, Traitor Hands, the play follows Leonard Vole, a young man accused of murdering a widow in cold blood to get a hold of her fortune. Despite protesting his innocence, the evidence of the case seems to be against him, helped along by those determined to see him face the noose. As the courtroom drama unfolds and secrets are revealed, the members of the jury (who are in fact paying members of the audience) must decide Leonard’s fate. Warner, who is best known as Romeo Nightingale in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks and for getting to the final of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here... in 2022, will play Vole for his first-ever theatrical performance. The actor will join an entirely new cast from 17 March which includes Eleanor Sutton as Romaine, as well as Simon Cotton, Matthew White, David Whitworth and and Michael Mears. Joe Anthony, Kai Antoine, Andrew Bloomer, Martin Edwards, Oliver Hatfield, Tamsin Heatley, Matthew Hebden, Mark Huckett, Ruchi Rai, Vanessa Sampson, Paul Westwood and Meimei Young complete the company. Witness for the Prosecution is a regular sell-out with shows running every Tuesday to Saturday. Tickets start from £16 and if you need convincing to go, read our five-star review. When and where can I see Witness for the Prosecution? Witness for the Prosecution is currently booking tickets until October 2026 with shows on every Tuesday to Sunday (matinee performances on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays). The show is being held at London’s County Hall on the Southbank. To get there, simply head to Westminster (on the Circle, District and Jubilee line) or Waterloo (Bakerloo, Northern, Waterloo & City and Jubilee line). Or, if you’re coming from…

encoded: Pulling in over three million visitors per year, the London Eye (or Millennium Wheel) offers spectacular views of the capital, with clear days offering a view of up to 40km away. The wheel was first designed in 1993 as a way of marking the millennium and, like the Eiffel Tower, was intended to be temporary. But in 2002, Lambeth Council granted the Eye a permanent license, allowing this glorious structure to stand on London's Southbank for years to come. What's more, the Eye now plays a key role in the UK's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display, and of course it's seen thousands of proposals within its 32 pods. But, if we had to pick one draw back, it would be the cost. Like most London attractions, the London Eye isn't cheap, so below we've pulled together a full list of the best ways to save on entry tickets.

The special anniversary edition of the awards will take place on 12 April 2026 with Traitors star Nick Mohammed set to host. Also among the nominees are some of our favourite shows from last year like Sean Hayes's Good Night Oscar and Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell's edition of Much Ado About Nothing. Unsurprisingly, Jamie Lloyd's hit production of Evita has also struck gold with nominations for Rachel Zegler and Diego Andres Rodriguez. But those productions are all, well, dead and gone. They've left the West End with our only hope of seeing them again being revivals or a cinema screening. So, what about the ones that are still on? If you're someone who pays attention to the awards lists, what better time to take the Oliviers' recommendations and go see one of their nominees? Below, we've compiled the Olivier nominated plays and musicals that you can still see in London at the moment.

description: Michael Sheen's revival is a gorgeous life-affirming look into the worlds of ordinary people.
encoded: Thornton Wilder's 1938 play Our Town has sometimes been hailed as "the greatest American play ever written". Set in the fictional New Hampshire town of Grover's Corners, the show follows two of the town's families, taking snapshots from across their lives from childhood to marriage to death, all the while centring around the mild mentality and dreams so often associated with small-town America. Yet, such is the magic of Michael Sheen's newest production that this US-focussed play can sit in the Rose Theatre Kingston with an all-Welsh cast, feeling as snugly at home as a journalist in a stationary shop. Brought to life by the new Welsh National Theatre, which has been founded by the Good Omens star, this revival of Our Town is a warming, soulful experience that makes you feel as if you were stepping into a foaming hot bath. Comfortably, it wends its way through the lives of the Gibbs and Webb families, taking meandering detours into the culture and atmosphere of the town, all the while guiding you to a conclusion that is deep and dark, and yet so gratifying. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/03/Michael-Sheen-cast-of-Our-Town-at-Rose-TheatreRose-Theatre-Welsh-National-Theatre-co-prodHelen-Murray69-569c157.jpg" width="5717" height="3811" alt="OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder ; Theatre Production (Rose Theatre & Welsh National Theatre) ; Cast: Rithvik Andugula, Peter Devlin, Aisha May Hunte, Rebecca Killick, Alfie Llewellyn, Rhodri Meilir, Christina Modestou, Kimberley Noble, Yasemin Özdemir, Sian Reese Williams, Nia Roberts, Michael Sheen, Kingdom Sibanda, Gareth Snook, Gareth Tempest, Jâms Thomas, Matthew Trevannion, Rhys Warrington ; Director: Francesca Goodridge ; Creative Associate: Russell T Davies ; Designer: Hayley Grindle ; Movement Director: Jess Williams ; Lighting Designer: Ryan Joseph Stafford ; Composer, Sound Designer, Musical Director: Dyfan Jones ; Casting Director: Sam Jones CDG ; Assistant Director: Dena Davies ; Ros…

Held at NEON in Battersea Power Station, this popular exhibit has come over after stints in Paris, San Francisco, Sydney, and Tokyo, where it achieved heaps of acclaim for its collection of 180 ancient artefacts. However, past praise is all well and good, but you want to be sure you're getting your money's worth with this exhibit, especially as it costs from £24.

description: Here's our complete guide to bagging cheap theatre tickets for the UK's top shows, including ones in London's West End.
encoded: Savings on top shows can be hard to come by, but if you're keen to find theatre tickets for less, you've come to the right place. First, we'll start with some advice. While this guide offers the best sites and methods for saving on theatre tickets, plus some great deals, there's also an element of luck and timing involved. Almost every show has a limited run in its given theatre, and if you've got a particular show or genre in mind, your chances of getting cheap tickets will be impacted by how in-demand those tickets are and how much of the show's run remains. There are, of course, some shows which have extremely long runs — ahem, The Mousetrap... A top tip is to do your ticket shopping last-minute. Sometimes, if a show hasn't sold enough and there are lots of seats remaining, prices will plummet for last-minute buyers. Even sold-out shows may have tickets returned on the day as people realise they can no longer make it, so it's always worth checking with the box office or online. If you're looking for London shows and can trot along in person, it's worth checking out some of the booths in Leicester Square, which often offer discounted tickets. Finally, it's often cheaper to find theatre tickets outside of the capital. While some of the UK's most renowned shows are put on in the West End and around London, the UK has a thriving theatre scene and there are fantastic shows to be found wherever you're based, as well as musicals on tour. Now, let's help you find them. Plus, check out news of Ben Platt's new original musical the Bridgerton candlelight concert, and how to get Six Nations tickets, as well as our roundup of the best comedians on tour and our Dracula review with Cynthia Erivo.

description: The Truth returns to the West End.
encoded: Olivier nominated play The Truth is coming back to the West End this summer with a stacked TV cast in tow. Ardal O'Hanlon, Stephen Mangan, Sarah Hadland and Janie Dee are all set to star in the acclaimed comedy which follows the tangled lives and secrets of two couples. Originally written by playwright Florian Zeller and translated by Christopher Hampton, the show follows Michel (Mangan), a man who embarks on an affair with his best friend’s wife and, in the process, weaves a web of deception so great it becomes unclear who is deceiving whom. In the press release it reads: "The Truth is a wickedly entertaining comedy where trust is fragile, loyalty is negotiable, and everyone has something to hide. "This star-driven revival of the Olivier-nominated play peels back the lies we tell the people we love, and the ones we tell ourselves... Gripping, surprising and laugh-out-loud funny, The Truth is a night at the theatre you won't want to miss." The show will mark a quick return to the London stage for The Split star, who performed alongside his co-star Nicola Walker in The Unicorn last year, Olivier-award winning actress Janie Dee is also coming off the back of a 2025 run of Fallen Angels at the Menier Chocolate Factory. O'Hanlon and Hadland, best known for their work in major comedies like Father Ted and Miranda, have not been at the West End since 2023 and 2019, respectively. The show is being produced by Simon Friend who followed up the announcement with: "The Truth is an ingenious puzzle of a play. What initially appears as a playful comedy about adultery effortlessly evolves into something much deeper, while remaining endlessly entertaining. "When Florian's meticulously structured house of cards collapses, you realise that you’ve been in the hands of a writer in complete control of his craft. "Florian knows exactly how to pull the rug from under you, as he did repeatedly in The Father film, which was the last project we collaborated on. He does so again here, but th…

In addition to productions like Julius Caesar, Middlemarch and Game of Thrones: The Mad King, the RSC will be staging As You Like It, with none other than Tony Award-winning actor Jonathan Groff. This production, directed by co-artistic director Daniel Evans, will be an all-male staging of Shakespeare's classic. It will be running in Stratford-upon-Avon from 26 September to 7 November and marks Groff's RSC debut. He will be joined by Fisayo Akinade as Celia, with further casting to be announced. Booking will open from the first week of March on the RSC website for patrons, and from 18 March for members of the general public. Speaking about the news, Groff – whose screen roles include Glee, Mindhunter and Doctor Who – said: "I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to come back to Stratford and perform Shakespeare for the first time in my life." Director Daniel Evans added: "I have admired Jonathan for over 20 years, from his role in Spring Awakening to his Tony Award-winning performance as Franklin Shepard in Merrily We Roll Along and, most recently, as Bobbie Darin in Just in Time. "Jonathan has a rare ability to connect deeply with an audience. His generosity, his emotional availability and his total commitment are exactly the qualities I wanted for our Rosalind."

description: The Full Monty is going all out to celebrate 30 years since its release.
encoded: Beloved British comedy The Full Monty is celebrating 30 years since its release with a new stage tour in 2027. Original film writer Simon Beaufoy first turned the story into a hit play in 2013, and is now bringing it back to dozens of UK venues starting in January next year. The 1997 film famously follows the story of six unemployed Sheffield men who decide to form their own Chippendales-style striptease act, except their show is made all the better by going 'the Full Monty'. In the years since, the film has reached the highest echelons of critical acclaim, being named the 25th best British film of the 20th century in a BFI list, and being turned into a stage play, a separate musical and a TV series. In the announcement for this new tour, Beaufoy said that today's social climate and cost-of-living crisis made the show as relevant as ever. He said: "A lot has changed in Britain since The Full Monty appeared 30 years ago. What hasn’t changed is our need for laughter, compassion and dignity. "I’m so delighted the Monty Men are back on the road with all their flaws, jokes and wobbly bits, bringing a bit of much-needed joy to audiences once again.” The announcement also promises "star casting" for the upcoming show, but all we know so far is the crew made up of director Michael Gyngell, choreography and intimacy director Ian West, set and costume designer Jasmine Swann, lighting designer Andrew Exeter and sound designer Chris Whybrow. The play is set to open in Sheffield on 15 January 2027 before going on to visiting Cardiff, Nottingham, Aylesbury, Woking, Bradford, Brighton, Southampton, Hull, Buxton, Manchester, Belfast, Truro, Southend, Cheltenham, Dartford, Wimbledon, Norwich, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leicester and York. Ticket details have also yet to be announced.

encoded: In a holy unprecedented move, six stars have been cast as King Herod in the upcoming West End production of Jesus Christ Superstar – and all legends of the stage and screen. Joining Eurovision runner-up Sam Ryder as Jesus, the role will be shared by Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Death of Stalin's Simon Russell Beale, The Hobbit and Spooks star Richard Armitage, 80s pop icon Boy George, Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams and pantomime king Julian Clary. The six will be splitting the role between them across the show's 11-week run. Traditionally the role of Herod – who appears in the musical for just one song – is played by a well-known name in TV or theatre. The last major run of the Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical which toured UK arenas in 2012, saw radio DJ Chris Moyles take on the part. But never before have so many famous faces lined up to take on the role. The show's director Tim Sheader said: "All different but all fabulous, we are thrilled that these six artists will take a turn demanding Jesus walk across their swimming pool as the infamously camp but lethal King Herod. "Choose to see any one of them and we promise, for a golden moment, they will stop this juggernaut of a show in its glitter-filled tracks." <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/02/JCSLandscape-KingsV1-dff5ea8.jpg" width="1920" height="1080" alt="Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Death of Stalin's Simon Russell Beale, The Hobbit and Spooks star Richard Armitage, 80s pop icon Boy George, Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams and pantomime king Julian Clary." title="JCS_Landscape Kings_V1" /> The rest of the cast, including the principal characters of Mary Magdalene and Judas, have yet to be announced. Ryder's role as Jesus was shared back in autumn 2025 and at the time he said: "So excited to be part of one of the biggest institutions in musical theatre the world’s ever known at The London Palladium in the West End!

description: Jack Whitehall is back with a brand-new show hitting UK arenas in 2027.
encoded: He’s a big-time actor now, but you probably still know him best from Bad Education or Fresh Meat. Next January, London comedian Jack Whitehall is heading out on a brand new tour of the UK. With shows booked in major venues across the country, the comic will be touring Bad Influence, which is promising to be "fearless, gloriously unfiltered stand-up". Bad Influence promises brand new material, including "outrageous stories and plenty of moments that flirt with going just a little too far... in the best possible way". Whitehall's last tour Settle Down, ran in 2023 following the announcement that he and girlfriend Roxy Horner were expecting a baby. That show centred on Whitehall's "struggle to settle down gracefully". Now however, as the press release states: "After far too long behaving himself, Jack Whitehall is heading back on the road with a brand-new national arena tour." This new show – his seventh to date – is booked for some of the UK's biggest arenas including London's O2 and the Manchester Co-op Live. Here's how you can get tickets as the final sale goes live.
