Strictly 18+ afternoon party with live West End vocalists, a DJ and mass singalongs of show-tune and movie-musical anthems at Lola Lo.
The West End Day Party comes to Reading Lola Lo on Saturday 7 November, bringing a Saturday night club atmosphere into the afternoon. It's a day party built around musical theatre, with live West End vocalists and a DJ playing show-tune and movie-musical anthems, mass singalongs and confetti moments. The mix pulls from Wicked, The Greatest Showman, Jersey Boys, Six, The Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Oliver!, Mamma Mia!, Grease, Les Misérables and more.
It's an afternoon for singing along rather than sitting back. The vocalists lead the room through the big numbers, and the DJ keeps the energy up between them, so you'll spend as much time on your feet as you do listening. There's a strong encourage to turn up in theatre glam, which fits the whole thing — it's a day out that treats the West End songbook like a dancefloor.
The Reading edition takes place at Lola Lo, a Polynesian tiki-themed nightclub on Friar Street known for its tropical island vibe and exotic décor that transports you to the South Pacific. It's usually a spot for weekly student nights, weekend parties with top DJs and VIP table service, so it's a different kind of crowd than you'd find at a theatre, and the tiki theme adds its own layer to the afternoon.
