Two for one tickets here - says it’s for industry but it looks like it’s just a code. Not sure if it’s really two for one or half price...
Can’t seem to get the image to link but the code is MADEURO bookable online or by phone. Seen on the Facebook feed of MAD Trust.

Well it was a fantastic night. New smaller venue but we'll suited. 8 shows performed and the overall winner was Phantom who did an hilarious version of Conchita Wurst's Eurovision entry. All the entries were brilliant however Hamilton came last which was a surprise. We had intervalue performances from the UK's Eurovision entry and Lucy Jones from last year. Graham Norton was there to present the prize and lots of cast members from the shows. 42nd Street did Boom Bang A Bang and Lulu popped up at the end. Hopefully west end eurovision will be back next year.

I loved this, although I must admit the vibe was different to previous WEE. Probably it being Sunday evening rather than early hours after shows as previous. Quite surprised the audience wasn't up and dancing through Suris song, which I really like. Loved 42nd Street Boom Bang A Bang with a salsa twist, shame it didn't get more points. Phantom well deserved winner, they totally got the idea of the evening whereas Hamilton, who gave a good performance played it "straight" and not for laughs. Should have researched previous winners. Loved Dreamgirls too, very entertaining.
To clarify the comment made by the MAD Ambassador about the last guy getting heckled off stage in 2014, that was nothing to do with the charity. From memory, he'd put on a show and not paid the actors, so when he started talking there were shouts of "pay your actors". Nowt to do with MAD.

Agree about the atmosphere but in the olden days most of the audience were drunk by the time it started and by the time it finished at 3am some were incapable of walking out. Although I thought it was a pretty good atmosphere and everyone was having fun. Also agree about Hamilton. They didn't quite get the idea which is to send up the song. Their song was clever rather her than funny. The essential element of a winner is camp and OTT which phantom had. Definately one of the best nights out in ages.

Well I had never been before but I LOVED this last night! I knew from the introductory musical related stand up comedy section by the host that I would be enjoying the rest of the evening. Definitely well deserved winners - when those beards lit up with LEDs I had tears running down my cheeks.
Really hope this continues next year!

West End Eurovision 2019 on 28 April at Adelphi Theatre. Tickets on sale Friday 8 Feb at 10am. Aw, thanks for that, wondered if they'd be doing it again. Much as I enjoyed last year, I might hold off and get tickets nearer the time this year (especially as I'll be in Berlin on Friday).

Great news. This is one of my favourite nights in the theatre. As camp as a row of tents. Let's hope a couple of the new shows in the west end enter into the fun of it.

I remember last year there was a 2-for-1 offer for tickets for this. Has anyone seen any similar offers for this year?

Went round my friends house on Monday (he is a designer and prop builder) to discover he has been commissioned along with a colleague to make the trophies for West End Eurovision this year, he showed me the base of the trophy and the boxes they would be packaging them in, I'm hoping to see the finished results online! I was very excited for him!

Well this was an absolute joy last night. Great to see West End performers coming up with such creative and impressive performances in their spare time.
Phantom won for the second year running, performing Italy's 2015 entry, Grande Amore. It was good but my heart went out to Follies, including Janie Dee and Joanne Riding who did a stylish and beautiful performance of "L'oiseau et l'infant", the French entry from 1977. They came second in a close race. Can't find any videos online yet but I'm sure they will appear.
But this really is one of my highlights of the year - great Eurovision songs, fit dancers of all genders, superb singers, camp judging by the likes of Wayne Sleep and Bonnie Langford, and all the West End theatrical in-jokes you could possibly want. Bring on WEE 2020...
