5 Concerts will provide 10 hours of online entertainment from over 25 of the biggest West End stars, including Layton Williams (Everyone's Talking About Jamie), Lucie Jones (Waitress), and Alice Fearn (Come From Away).

The first of its kind in the UK, West End Musical Drive In is a unique series of immersive concerts, which last year provided many performers with their first live opportunity to perform during the pandemic.
Fans took to their cars to support and celebrate musical theatre and now, through streaming, you can experience the events direct from your own home.
Performer and co-producer Shanay Holmes said ...
"There were so many fans from all over the country that were unable to attend these sell out events.
We are so happy to invite you all to join us now, to experience this musical phenomenon from your homes! You'll laugh.
