"As the birthplace of Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and Matilda, London’s West End theater really should be on your to-do list. Having said that, these large-scale productions are very pricey, especially if you are traveling on a tight budget. If you happen to be in the capital towards the end of June, you may be lucky enough to experience the West End Live festival in Trafalgar Square. Showcasing London’s most popular musical productions along with brand new debuts, this event is perfect for anyone with an interest in musical theater. And the best part? It’s completely free. Each show performs a handful of numbers, making it a great way to sing along to your favorite showstoppers. Previous companies who attend the festival include Aladdin, Mamma Mia, The Lion King, and Wicked.When: June" - MATADOR_NETWORK
