The producers of the West End’s official musical theatre fan convention announce that Musical Con will return to ExCel London in 2024. Musical Con was visited by over 10,000 musical theatre fans from across the globe in 2022 and 2023 and will return for another weekend-long celebration of all thing’s musical theatre on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th October 2024.
A limited number of Early Bird tickets are on sale now and expected to sell out quickly.
2023’s convention saw Musical Con occupy a larger space within the ExCel London than the previous year and over 100 special guests and 140 hours of programming across multiple stages and areas. Highlights from this year’s event include the hugely popular opening and closing ceremonies and cosplay, lip-sync battle and Star Of Musical Con competitions, show spotlights on The Lion King, Operation Mincemeat, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and Lizzie, artist spotlights on legendary composer Claude Michel-Schonberg and renowned choreographer Dame Arlene Phillips, special performances by Rachel Tucker and the cast of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical movie, performances from new musicals The Book Thief, Ride, Babies, Super You and Bronco Billy and cast reunions of Bat Out Of Hell, Newsies and a surprise reunion of the cast of Sheffield Crucible’s Miss Saigon. Highlight videos of this year will be released in the coming weeks on the Musical Con YouTube channel.
2024’s convention will once again include performances, interviews, panels, demonstrations, photo and signing opportunities, a huge selection of workshops and masterclasses and Theatreland with interactive experiences and all manner of musical theatre businesses.
Musical Con is produced by Chris Steward and Shanay Holmes of West End Musical Productions.
Co-producer Shanay said, This year was really special because the fans knew exactly what to expect and the entire community have taken full ownership of the event and made it their own. Musical Con is our home, it is the place where we belong, and we can’t wait for 2024!
