After their successful debut in London this year, organisers of Musical Con have announced a return season taking place from October 21 to October 23, 2023. Touted as the very first convention for theatre aficionados, this year’s event saw appearances from the casts of Rent, In the Heights, Wicked and Back to the Future.

Produced by Chris Steward and Shanay Holmes, this year’s event saw 10,000 stage fans descend on the Excel Centre in east London to watch live performances, reunions, Q&As, workshops and more over the space of two days. Having established itself successfully this year, organisers are hoping their 2023 event will be bigger and better than their inaugural convention.

Though no official announcement has been made about the workshops, performances or performers/creatives that will be involved in 2023’s convention, you should expect some of 2023’s West End highlights to grace the Excel Centre. Could we see the cast and creatives of the West End debuting The Great British Bake Off Musical make appearances, or the Motown inspired Broadway hit Ain’t Too Proud when it opens in London in 2023?

What has been confirmed for 2023 is the return of the popular cosplay contest, lip sync battles, sing-alongs, plus exhibitions and a marketplace ahead of an specific line up to be confirmed in the new year.

Tickets for Musical Con are already on sale, with a one day pass costing £35 while a weekend ticket costing £65. Both options can be found by visiting the Musical Con 2023 ticketing page (via See Tickets.)
