All singing, all dancing: TOP TRUMPS launches Musicals

Curtain up! The world of musical theatre is stepping into the spotlight with the launch of Top Trumps Musicals.

This dazzling new deck celebrates Broadway and West End’s biggest shows, inviting fans to compare their favourites across five show-stopping categories: Debut Year, Tony Awards, Popularity, Number of Performances, and the all-important Top Trumps Rating.

From long-running classics like Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, and Chicago to modern sensations such as Hamilton, Wicked, and Hadestown, the deck is packed with legendary productions that defined generations of theatre. Whether it’s Hamilton’s record-breaking 11 Tony Awards, Phantom’s extraordinary 13,900 performances, or Les Misérables’ enduring popularity, each card tells the story of a show that captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

The collection doesn’t just honour the giants of the past - it also celebrates the new voices of theatre today. With recent entries like MJ the Musical, & Juliet, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, and The Outsiders, players can bring contemporary smash hits into direct competition with golden age classics like Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music, and Fiddler on the Roof. Every hand becomes a battle of eras, genres, and styles.

Some shows shine for their sheer popularity and cultural reach. The Lion King remains one of the most universally beloved musicals, while Mamma Mia! proves that sometimes a pop-fuelled crowd-pleaser can hold its own against the titans of theatre. Others impress with critical acclaim: Hairspray, Dear Evan Hansen, and Hadestown each earned a clutch of awards alongside their passionate fan bases.

Top Trumps Musicals launches on 20th October and will be available to buy on Amazon - RRP £10
