October on TheatreTok did not disappoint! The theatre community shared videos that felt like little tricks and treats for anyone scrolling through their feeds this spooky season. Here is our roundup of the best clips from the month.
Quick-fire Phantom
All the Phantom of the Opera, no interval. Robert Bosworth delivers a lightning-fast recap of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic in 90 seconds, and somehow it’s just as dramatic as the real thing.
@robert.bosworth.music May I present: Phantom of the Opera in 90 Seconds #musicaltheatre #opera #broadway #phantomoftheopera #singers
They’re vicious and they’re hot
Learning the viral “Six Chick” dance from 13 Going on 30 the Musical, stage stars Keelan McAuley and Tobias Turley follow Iván Fernández González’s expert lead.

The round table of 1800
Votes are counted, tension rises, and the Celebrity Traitors round table has never felt more like Hamilton’s “Election of 1800”. The line “If you had to choose” has never hit harder, especially with the season finale airing this Thursday, 6 November.

No tears… only trophies
Layton Williams casually reminding us who got the 2025 WhatsOnStage Award for Best Takeover Performance – as if we could forget his performance as the Emcee in the Cabaret!

Don’t Cry for Me… It’s Halloween
Channeling Rachel Zegler in Jamie Lloyd‘s adaptation of Evita, this Halloween costume brings the iconic London Palladium balcony performance of “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” to your feed.

The Muses own the stage, and that’s the Gospel Truth
The Muses (Brianna Ogunbawo, Candace Furbert, Malinda Parris, Sharlene Hector, Robyn Rose-Li) bring unstoppable energy to the West End production of Hercules with their performance of “The Gospel Truth”.
@whatsonstage HERCULES: ORIGINAL LONDON CAST RECORDING IS OUT NOW! And that’s the “Gospel Truth”! #Hercules #GospelTruth #Musicals #WestEnd #TheMuses
Oz-tastic Birthday
@celesteiful This is your sign to get your friends together and sing through your favorite musical for your birthday for FUN 💕💚 I only wish I had videos of everyone singing 😩 maybe we should go for round 2?? 🤩 @Wicked: For Good #wicked #birthdaygirl #birthday #elphaba #wickedthemusical
A birthday brought a group of friends together for a full Wicked sing-through. With Wicked: For Good heading to the big screen soon, this could be the ultimate pre-show celebration. The perfect excuse to plan your own Oz-inspired gathering.
Disney villains take to the stage
The West End cast of Hercules conjured up some Halloween magic with a medley of Disney villain numbers, led by Susan Egan, the original voice of Meg for a spook-tacular third act!
@whatsonstage A huge West End medley to celebrate Halloween at Hercules – fearing a variety of Disney villains! Be prepared for some unfortunate souls to know best… about Gaston! #WestEnd #Hercules #Disney
A killer performance
Ahead of the world premiere of Paddington The Musical, we caught a glimpse of Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as the evil Millicent Clyde with a performance of “Pretty Little Dead Things” from the new production.
@whatsonstage A taste of trouble! Victoria Hamilton-Barritt delivers a killer performance of “Pretty Little Dead Things” from Paddington The Musical! The world premiere is set to open in London next month 🐻🍊 #Paddington #PaddingtonTheMusical #Musical #Theatre #VictoriaHamiltonBarrett
