Musicals by Candlelight
In the heart of Covent Garden, uncover one of London’s most atmospheric hidden gems: The Actors’ Church. Illuminated by the warm glow of hundreds of flickering candles, this stunning setting becomes the stage for an unforgettable live performance. A dazzling string quartet brings to life a carefully curated blend of classic and contemporary musical theatre favourites, with a newly refreshed set list for 2026, to mark the fifth year of performances.
Performed by the acclaimed Icon Strings, who have graced the stages of the Royal Opera House and Royal Albert Hall, each piece is reimagined with elegance, emotion, and expression.
Musicals by Candlelight offers an intimate, atmospheric way to experience musical theatre in a new light.
