The concert will be hosted by the talented Shanay Holmes, known for her roles in Miss Saigon and The Bodyguard, and who will also be seen as Nancy in Cameron Mackintosh's Oliver! transferring to the West End this December. Holmes will be joined by a lineup of esteemed performers including Nathania Ong of Hamilton and Les Misérables, Erin Caldwell from Heathers and SIX the Musical, Tobias Turley, a winner of ITV1 and ITVX's Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream and Grammy Award winner Zachary James from Hadestown.
This event marks the third instalment of the sell-out concert series featuring a medley of show tunes from darker musicals such as Sweeney Todd, Little Shop Of Horrors, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Phantom Of The Opera, Hadestown, and Beetlejuice. Attendees can expect a spooky and exhilarating evening filled with sing-along opportunities, dance, and a parade of Halloween tricks and treats.

In addition to the Halloween concert, West End Musical Productions has also announced a festive event, West End Musical Christmas, scheduled for December 16, 2024.
