Big Night of Musicals 2023
Putting musical theatre in the spotlight
There’s something magical about a big West End musical. The songs, costumes and sets sweep you into another world from the moment the curtain goes up.
The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals 2023 featured performances from some of the biggest shows in the world.
They included Hamilton, Les Misérables, MAMMA MIA!, We Will Rock You the Musical, Wicked, SIX the Musical, Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, The Bodyguard The Musical and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I.

The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals is yet another example of your ticket unlocking the action. To thank players for the amazing support they made possible for tens of thousands of arts projects and over 2000 theatres during the pandemic, The National Lottery made a total of 12,000 tickets available to this incredible event on a first come, first served basis. The tickets to the show, released in January 2023, were immediately snapped up by musical fans across the country.
