Welcome to the latest instalment of the WhatsOnStage Top Three!

We’re asking all of your favourite stage stars to share their favourite musical, their favourite play, and their favourite showtune. It may seem easy, but we’re putting them on the spot, with thousands of options to choose from.

Olivier Award nominee Simon Lipkin swapped picking pockets for picking his Top Three! He told us the “best experience he has ever had in a theatre” and shared which original cast he was lucky to see on Broadway! Plus, he revealed a little secret about what he gets up to at home…

Remember to share your picks on social media with #WhatsOnStageTopThree, and why not tell us which show you can be found “Seize-ing the Day” to?!
