Tickets start at only £15, and the sale is running for a limited time only.

A Celebration of World-Class Musicals

No West End promotion would be complete without Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre — still one of the hottest tickets in town, and Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, which continues to captivate audiences with its spellbinding score, and jaw-dropping staging. For a night of outrageous comedy, look no further than The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre, a smash-hit musical that has been keeping London laughing for over a decade.

Disney Magic on Stage

Disney fans have plenty to get excited about this London Theatre Week. Major new musical Disney’s Hercules at Theatre Royal Drury Lane brings the legendary animated film to life with a score full of hits; while The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre remains one of the most spectacular and longest-running shows in theatre history, combining breathtaking puppetry with Elton John and Tim Rice’s iconic songs.

From Film to Theatre

My Neighbour Totoro at the Gillian Lynne Theatre is a must-see for Studio Ghibli fans and anyone who wants to be transported to another world, with the RSC’s magical, five-star staging. Plus, Back to the Future: The Musical at the Adelphi Theatre is where audiences are transported on a thrilling ride through time with Marty McFly and Doc Brown; and blockbuster new West End show The Devil Wears Prada is wowing audiences at the Dominion Theatre starring Vanessa Williams, based on the much-loved movie.
