Movie And TV Stars You Can See On The West End This Month

We can’t lie, we do get a bit excited when we know one of our favourite TV or film stars is going to be in a West End show. If seeing a well-known performer is the cherry on top of a wonderful show, there are lots of productions to get excited over right now. Here’s a quick guide on which celebs you can see in a London theatre this month.

Daniel Radcliffe

Where you can see him: In Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, Daniel Radcliffe and co-star Joshua McGuire (star of Netflix show Lovesick) play the titular characters as they act behind the scenes of Hamlet, stumbling in and out of the main action with their own storyline.
