All the touring West End musicals you can see in Newcastle and Sunderland

There is no business like showbusiness and sometimes, the best shows are the ones on stage in big, opulent theatres.

The West End is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK, with millions of visitors from all over the UK and the rest of the world each year.

Thankfully, many West End productions head out on the road with local theatres across the country sharing the show with audiences all over the country. So which shows are coming to Newcastle and Sunderland?
