The producers of musical theatre fan convention Musical Con have confirmed the popular event will return for the fourth consecutive year this autumn.
ExCel London will once again be turned into a haven for musical theatre lovers on 18 and 19 October with tickets due to go on sale on 28 March.
Over 10,000 musical theatre lovers from across the globe have attended the first three Musical Cons with attendees treated to hundreds of hours of programming with each event boasting a large number of special guest stars.
Following a successful debut in 2022, the event has grown year on year to offer everything for the musical theatre fanatic.
Highlights from last year’s weekend featured appearances from a star-studded line-up of special guests including Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner André De Shields (Broadway’s Hadestown, The Wiz), Todrick Hall (Broadway’s Chicago, Kinky Boots) and Layton Williams (Cabaret, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), as well as the stars and creatives from Oliver!, Hamilton and Mean Girls. One of the biggest attractions was an exhibition of a treasure-trove of costumes, set pieces and props from Cameron Mackintosh Productions.
Attendees in 2025 can look forward to unique performances, meet and greets, exclusive panels and spotlights on the biggest shows in town. There will also be cosplay, competitions, fan meets, inspiring workshops and masterclasses and a huge marketplace filled with merchandise and photo opportunities.
Announcing this year’s dates, Musical Con producer Shanay Holmes (currently playing Nancy in the West End production of Oliver!) said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing Musical Con back to ExCel London for 2025. It is one of the highlights of the theatre calendar and this year promises to be our most spectacular yet. Musical Con is a space for the entire community; to come together under one roof and celebrate their passion for musicals. We can’t wait to be back in the ‘place where we belong’ this October for another unforgettable weekend.”
Musical Con is produced by Chris Steward and Shanay Holmes for West End Musical Productions.
