WhosOnTrend: The most viewed stage names in November 2025

November has flown by like a certain witch on a broomstick, and we’re back with another wad of fantastic Stage Names!

For those unfamiliar, each month we collate the most-viewed performers, directors and more, viewed in our ever-growing Stage Names directory.

As London welcomed a special bear and masses of audiences followed yellow brick roads to their local cinemas, we have new additions to our trending list alongside some familiar faces!

Glenn Adamson

Glenn Adamson just won’t quit! He’s as regular on these WhosOnTrend lists as he is a regular to productions of Bat Out of Hell, where he’s formed a legion of loyal fans after his legendary performances as Strat.

Daniel Brocklebank

Coronation Street‘s Daniel Brocklebank will be Puttin’ on the Ritz in Liverpool this Christmas! He is taking over the role of Dr Frederick Frankenstein in Liverpool’s staging of the Hope Mill’s revival of Young Frankenstein, where he’s joined by Amelia Adams, Jessica Martin, Pete Gallagher, Curtis Patrick, Simeon Truby and Julie Yammanee.

Alex Bourne

A last-minute addition to the list comes from Annie‘s Daddy Warbucks! It’s a role he’s already familiar with, but this time will have to contend with a new Miss Hannigan, in the form of La Voix.

Vivienne Carlyle

We can tell you that it’s true! Vivienne Carlyle is back on WhosOnTrend as the beloved performer returns to Willy Russell classic to reprise the role of Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers on tour.

James Hameed and Arti Shah

We could bear-ly contain our excitement meeting these two wonderful performers who are bringing Paddington Bear to life on stage each night at the Savoy Theatre. If you’re interested to learn more about the exceptional duo and the teams behind the feat, watch our video! Want to see more of them? Paddington will be appearing on Strictly Come Dancing during Musicals Week and on the televised Royal Variety Performance event.

Ben Joyce

This performer is having quite the year and has regularly made these lists as a result. This month he returns – we can only imagine its due to his casting in the upcoming world premiere of The Greatest Showman and the fact that he’s one of three Marty McFly’s who will be performing in a special 40th birthday celebration for Back to the Future!

Noah Jupe

Screen star Noah Jupe will be making his West End debut next year in a new production of Romeo and Juliet. It’ll be a big year for the performer, who also features in the big screen adaptation of Hamnet. Playing the other star-crossed lover? It’s only Sadie Sink!

Amy Ellen Richardson

She’s a superhero of her own! Amy Ellen Richardson has added the great privilege of playing Mrs Brown in the world premiere of Paddington The Musical to her impressive list of stage credits.

Bea Ward

Bea Ward is having a Wickedly good month! She’s currently the alternate Kim on the unstoppable tour of Miss Saigon, and can be spotted in the chorus in Wicked: For Good.

Bethany Weaver

After almost a year of speculation, Bethany Weaver was confirmed as playing Dorothy in the Wicked: For Good movie. While never actually seeing her face or hearing her voice, the iconic character is of course recognisable by her signature blue pinafore and tied intrisically to the land of Oz.

There are plenty of additional West End cameos to spot in the new movie – check out our list!
