West End Calling presents the Grand Final!

Young performers from all over the UK have gone through three rounds to earn a place in the final here at the Charing Cross Theatre. After auditioning in front of a panel of West End stars, contestants went on to perform in the regional heats which were held in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham, Norwich and Edinburgh. If they were successful here, they then had to wow our judges at the Semi-Finals held in London, Manchester and Belfast to secure their place in the Grand Final.

Each contestant will perform a song from a musical to our live audience as well as a panel made up of West End stars! It will be up to the panel to decide who they will crown as the winner of this year's competition!

Our judging panel consists of Grace Mouat (& Juliet, Six, Be More Chill), Laura Pick (Wicked), Cleve September (In The Heights, Hamilton), Christine Bennington (Heathers, Bat Out Of Hell) and Natalie May Paris (Six).

The final is split into two parts - the Junior Final (4.00pm) and the Senior Final (7.00pm).

Come along and enjoy a day of musical theatre madness in the heart of the West End!

MRS PRESIDENT

Written by John Ransom Phillips
Directed by Bronagh Lagan

In Mrs President, Mary Lincoln is a woman at war—with her grief, her detractors, and herself. Vilified by an envious elite and accused of treason, she strives to rebuild her public image to win the hearts of the American people. She turns to the world’s first celebrity photographer, Matthew Brady, who helped her husband, Abraham Lincoln, win the presidency. But their partnership unravels into a tense battle for creative control. As Mary fights to tell her story, the play delves into themes of power, identity, female agency, and the cost of representation.

With a richly textured script by acclaimed artist, playwright, and historian John Ransom Phillips, Mrs President invites audiences into a gripping examination of history’s biases and the human need to define ourselves. Described as “evocative” and “unmissable,” this brand new London production brings to life an intimate and politically charged portrait of America’s most misunderstood First Lady.
