All The Stars You Can Catch On Stage In London Right Now

If this year’s Olivier Awards proved anything, it’s that London’s theatre scene is absolutely stacked with star power right now. And with so many stars on stage, we’ve rounded up some of the biggest names you can currently catch performing in the West End. 

All The Screen Stars Currently Performing In The West End

Rosamund Pike in Inter Alia

Rosamund Pike takes to the London stage in Suzie Miller’s Inter Alia at Wyndham’s Theatre. Portraying the sharp London High Court judge Jessica Parks, Pike proved her work onstage is just as formidable as her iconic screen roles in Gone Girl and Jack Reacher, winning the 2026 Oliver Award for Best Actress. It’s also a chance to see her return to the stage after a 14-year hiatus with her last major appearance being Hedda Gabler at Theatre Royal Bath in 2010. 

Following its sold-out National Theatre run, Inter Alia transferred to the West End in 2026, continuing at Wyndham’s Theatre on Charing Cross Road until June 2026. 

Tom Edden in Paddington The Musical

From a galaxy far, far away to the streets of London, Tom Edden can be seen stealing scenes as the curmudgeonly Mr Curry in Paddington the Musical. 

Film fans may recognise him from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where he appeared as a First Order Officer, as well as Disney’s live-action Cinderella, in which he played a Lizard Footman. On television, he’s appeared in the BBC’s Upstart Crow and the period drama The Singapore Grip. As a true West End favourite, Edden scooped Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical at this year’s Olivier Awards. The production was the undisputed heavyweight of the night, taking home a staggering seven awards, including Best New Musical.

Sadie Sink in Romeo and Juliet

Running from March to June 2026, Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe take on Shakespeare’s most famous lovers in Romeo and Juliet. They bring fresh star power to the classic tragedy as they move between balcony scenes and ill-fated romance beneath the stars of Verona.

Film and TV audiences will know Sink best from her role as Max Mayfield in Netflix’s Stranger Things, as well as her acclaimed performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale opposite Brendan Fraser. She has also appeared in All Too Well: The Short Film, directed by Taylor Swift.

The production has already received lots of praise despite only debuting at the end of March, with Sink’s Juliet loved for her fiercely intelligent but defiant interpretation of the role. The show will run until June 20, 2026 at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

Erivo plays all 23 characters in the story, including Dracula himself, with production the using live performance and filmed elements to tell the story.

On screen, Erivo is best known for her Oscar nominated turn as Celie in The Color Purple, as well as her portrayal of abolitionist Harriet Tubman in Harriet. She has also become a household name through her role as Elphaba in Wicked, bringing her commanding voice to one of musical theatre’s most iconic characters.

Johannes Radebe, Kinky Boots

Starting at the Strictly ballroom and finding a home on the West End, Johannes Radebe is set to take centre stage in Kinky Boots, returning to London in a brand-new production at the London Coliseum.

Best known to television audiences for his performances on Strictly Come Dancing, Radebe has already made waves as Lola in the UK and Ireland tour, a role he now reprises for the West End run.

The production runs from 17 March to 11 July 2026, with Radebe leading a starry cast in Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper’s Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical about acceptance and reinvention. Directed by Nikolai Foster, the revival sees the beloved story of Charlie Price and drag queen Lola return to London in full theatrical force.

Sam Ryder, Jesus Christ Superstar

Eurovision star Sam Ryder makes his West End debut in Jesus Christ Superstar, starring in a revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s iconic rock opera at the London Palladium.

Best known internationally for his Eurovision 2022 performance Space Man, which earned the UK a runner-up finish and catapulted him to global recognition, Ryder has since become known for his powerhouse vocals. This new staging reunites the creative team behind the acclaimed Regent’s Park production, and Ryder takes on the role of Jesus.

The production runs for a strictly limited season from June to September 2026. You can see Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium this summer.
