What is a theatre preview and is it worth it?
Booking a preview of a West End show comes with both risks and rewards. Here are our honest thoughts.
Here at Radio Times, we're all about helping you do the things you love for less, from advice on how to get cheap cinema tickets, cheap concert tickets and cheap theatre tickets. And speaking of cheap theatre tickets, one of the lesser-known ways to save on new shows is by opting for preview tickets. But what exactly are previews? How are they different from opening night or regular shows, and are they really worth it? We've put together the ultimate guide to theatre previews, weighing the pros and cons to give you our honest verdict. We've also spoke to theatre influencer Perry O'Bree of Perry Presents, who provided us with some more great insider knowledge. You can find Perry's insightful theatre content at Perry Presents on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. For more theatre insights, here are all our five-star West End shows, plus how to get Jesus Christ Superstar tickets, starring Sam Ryder. Jump to: What are theatre previews? How much do theatre previews cost? What’s the difference between a preview and opening night? Are theatre previews worth it? Which West End shows can I get currently preview tickets to? What are theatre previews? Theatre previews are performances of a show that take place before the show's official opening night, which is also known as press night. Preview tickets are available to purchase by the general public, but the purpose of these performances is to run through the show in front of a live audience so that any necessary changes can be made, like pacing or lighting. Perry says that previews are there "to test the waters before they officially 'open' to see how the audience react, think, or feel and to see if there are any changes needed. It helps directors, creatives and actors get a feel for how the audience feel or react to the text, song or whatever it is being staged". How much do theatre previews cost? While costs will vary depending on the production, preview tickets will generally be cheaper than performances that take place post-opening night. For example, at the time of writing, previews for the West End transfer of Arcadia start at £12, while tickets post-opening night start at £16.50 or £18, depending on the performance. What’s the difference between a preview and opening night? A preview is the name for any show that takes place before opening night, which is also be known as press night. Opening night/press night is the official first night of the production, when critics, journalists, influencers and celebrities are invited to watch and/or review the production. Members of the public are occasionally able to buy tickets to press night, depending on the production — a great shout if you love celeb spotting! Are theatre previews worth it? As with anything, opting for preview tickets comes with a list of pros and cons. Let's start with the positives. If you're a theatre goer on a budget, previews are a great way to save money, especially when it comes to larger-scale West End shows. Plus, who doesn't want the bragging rights of saying you got to see the hottest new show before everyone else? If you're extra excited about a new show, you can attend both the preview and a regular night to see any changes that have been made, therefore getting an insight into the evolution of a show. This was the case with Stranger Things: The First Shadow for Perry, who said: "I attended the first preview of Stranger Things and then went back after press night and they cut a lot. So it felt special to see; almost like it’s first draft in front of an audience. "They made lots of changes, but for all the right reasons. When I went back it was shorter, tighter, and much better in terms of pacing. The audience really felt part of the action which was cool." However, preview tickets also come with some risks. Recent West End productions, including Dracula starring Cynthia Erivo and Romeo and Juliet starring Sadie Sink, had several of the initial previews cancelled, leaving theatre fans disappointed. Audience members were recompensated, but of course, missed out on seeing the production in its early stages. As Perry says: "It’s very good for London locals or if you work in the city and can afford a cancellation, but not so good if you’re coming from abroad or further afield." There is also the risk that productions won't be entirely ready during their preview season, as there may be some final touches still to be made on things like costumes or set design. Despite these risks, we would say that opting for preview tickets is definitely worth it, especially if you're trying to save money. Just make sure to book a date closer to opening night rather than the first couple of previews. This means that you'll better avoid the risk of cancellation, plus any initial hiccups should be smoothed out. However, if you're travelling to a city specifically for a show and need to book travel or accommodation, it's a safer bet to go for a regular performance. Which West End shows can I currently get preview tickets to? Arcardia, from £11 (opening night 1 July) Beetlejuice, from £24 (opening night 20 May) High Society, from £42 (opening night 27 May) Hay Fever, from £28 (opening night 1 October) Trainspotting the Musical, from £15 (opening night 22 July) Paranormal Activity, from £28 (opening night 8 August) Glengarry Glen Ross, from £28.20 (opening night 17 June) Cyrano de Bergerac, from £19 (opening night 25 June) For more on the latest West End news, here's how to get tickets to see Christine Baranski and Richard E. Grant on the West End, as well as how to see Michael Sheen and Callum Scott Howells on the West End.

John Proctor is the Villain is transferring to the West End – here's how you can get tickets today
If you missed out on tickets to John Proctor is the Villain's sell-out run at Royal Court Theatre, there's no need to worry as the hit play is transferring to London's West End.
From the Broadway production to the Royal Court's sold-out run, John Proctor is the Villain is currently one of theatre's most talked-about plays. Now, the seven-time Tony nominee is transferring to London's West End. The play will be staged at Wyndham's Theatre, where it will be running for a strictly limited 12-week season from February to April 2027. Casting for the West End production is yet to be confirmed, but with Sadie Sink starring in the original Broadway production, we wouldn't be surprised if another big-time actress will be taking the helm. John Proctor is the Villain follows a group of five young women at school together in small-town America. As they begin to study Arthur Miller's The Crucible together in class, it soon becomes apparent that secrets lie between the girls and the society surrounding them. Soundtracked by pop and fuelled by adrenaline and rage, the play focuses on what it means to be a girl in the 21st century, as well as the power of female friendship and the courage to question the seemingly immovable parts of society. Speaking about the West End transfer, playwright Kimberly Belflower and director Danya Taymor said, "Bringing John Proctor is the Villain to the West End is a true honour and profound joy for us, especially on the heels of its very witchy UK debut in the Royal Court's 70th anniversary season. "The play has been igniting London audiences, and we have fallen deeply in love with this great city. We are so grateful that our spells worked and more people will be able to see the play here – and come back again and again – at the incredible Wyndham’s Theatre in 2027."

NOW TV vs Sky: Which UK streaming service should you get?
If you're after high-quality American TV shows and the latest movies, then you're in the right place. But who wins out between Sky and NOW TV?
When it comes to the wide world of TV and streaming, Sky is a major player. The media company has been a household name since the 1990s, thanks to its wide offering of products and services, which now include Sky TV, Sky Glass and Sky Live. In addition to all of these, Sky officially owns NOW (formerly known as NOW TV), first launched in 2012, as well as Sky Stream, which was set up in 2022. At first glance, it may seem like there's some overlap between the two. Both services are owned and operated by Sky, this may run the risk that they can compete against each other. However, both services are aimed at different audiences who have different needs. We've compared the two services in terms of price, free trials and their content offerings to help you along the way. We've made sure to give our verdict, as well as answering some FAQs right at the end. Happy watching!

One of the major ones has to be the content and channels you'll have access to. Sky Stream is the clear leader in this area, with access to over 300 satellite channels, 100 premium channels like FOX and Sky Atlantic, and the option of adding on packages including Sky Cinema and Sky Sports. Access to third-party streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus is also included, giving you access to even more content. With NOW, customers can choose the standard Entertainment pass or a combination of the Cinema, Sports and Hayu membership on a monthly basis, depending on your interests. If you decide to go for all passes, you'll get access to around 45 channels. As with Sky Stream, you can also access third-party streaming like Netflix and Disney Plus, as well as entertainment channels like Sky Showcase and Sky Atlantic. It's worth bearing in mind that NOW also grants you access to boxsets and catch-up TV with your membership, whereas with Sky Stream, you'll need to pay for the Box-Set upgrade in order to access this.

The Radio Times Technology team couldn't find any current information on Sky's website regarding free trials, so we'd say it's safe to assume that they don't currently offer one. When it comes to NOW TV, whether or not you have a free trial will depend on the package you choose. NOW TV currently offers a seven-day free trial for Hayu, the reality TV platform, and a one-month free trial of Boost or Ultra Boost, improving audio and visual quality. Other NOW TV memberships do not appear to currently offer a free trial.

If it's a wide range of channels and personalisation you're after, then Sky is the one for you. Plus, Sky's new Ultimate TV package means you'll also get Netflix and Disney Plus, a huge advantage in our era of multiple streaming services. If affordability and flexibility (i.e. paying for monthly passes) is more important to you, then NOW is the better option. If you're a TV fanatic, you can currently get access to plenty of the most popular TV from just £2.99.

You cannot watch NOW TV on Sky, as it is a separate service to Sky. NOW TV offers a way to watch Sky channels and on-demand content on a month by month basis.

Avenue Q review: These hilariously filthy puppets have a lot of heart
The infamous 2004 Tony award-winning Best Musical is celebrating its West End revival at Shaftesbury Theatre.
From the 2026 revival of The Muppets Show on Disney Plus to Elmo's follower count climbing north of 700K on X, the last few years have seen something of a puppet renaissance. Therefore, it makes sense that now is the time for the West End revival of Avenue Q, Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx's musical comedy following the ups and downs of randy, foul-mouthed puppets. The key point of the show is that although these characters are made from felt, they're just like us; Princeton struggles to find his purpose, Kate Monster bemoans her lack of a boyfriend, Rod is coming to terms with his sexuality, Trekkie Monster is a porn enthusiast and avid OnlyFans user. If you're thinking that the last example doesn't sound terribly appropriate for a puppet show, you'd be correct. Avenue Q, with its foul language, suicide jokes and graphic puppet sex scenes (yes, really) flies in the face of stereotypes, with the biggest laughs coming from the weird juxtaposition between cute puppets and crass jokes about life's harsh realities. Speaking of big laughs, this script is packed full of them. The hilarious musical numbers, with titles like The Internet is For Porn and Everyone's a Little Bit Racist, draw a wicked contrast between the taboo topics and their Sesame-Street-meets-musical-theatre scores. Jeff Whitty's excellent book is peppered with with the perfect amount of profanity and explicit sexual references, used sparingly so the joke doesn't become tired and the shock value lands perfectly each time. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/04/AVENUE-Q.-Emily-Benjamin-Kate-Monster-Charlie-McCullagh-and-Meg-Hateley-Trekkie-Monster.-Photo-by-Matt-Crockett-39cfa88.jpg" width="6048" height="4024" alt="Kate Monster and Trekkie Monster beside each other on stage" title="AVENUE Q. Emily Benjamin (Kate Monster), Charlie McCullagh and Meg Hateley (Trekkie Monster). Photo by Matt Crockett" /> This show, which first premiered in 2003, has garnered a cult following from its edgy and progressive humour. However, what was considered innovative comedy back then doesn't always hold up 23 years later. It's less to do with what younger people consider offensive, and more to do with what they consider funny. Take the character of Christmas Eve for example, whose heavily-accented English is often the butt of the joke. While some audience members may find this offensive, many will find it simply not that funny, as talking to people with accented English is a part of most of our daily lives. The same applies to Nicky's eventual homelessness, when his asking for money is played for laughs. Offensive? Perhaps. Stale? Definitely. The staleness of some of these key comedy moments is what takes this from a five-star production to four stars. It's a hilarious show with catchy musical numbers that provides a surprisingly insightful take on 21st century life in the big city – high praise, but the creative team need to be able to kill some of their darlings in order to garner a cult following with Gen Z. One thing that in no way could be improved upon, however, is the talent on the stage. A key feature of Avenue Q, in contrast to traditional puppet shows like The Muppets and Sesame Street, is that you can see the puppetry at work. This just makes the production all the more impressive, as actors seamlessly switch between roles and puppets, all while acting through their own bodies, as well as through the puppet. The vocal talent is something to behold, especially when it comes to actors playing multiple roles with highly different voices. Emily Benjamin's rendition of Kate Monster's heartfelt ballad There's a Fine, Fine Line sung in Kate's signature squeaky voice couldn't be more different than the smoky tones of Lucy The S**'s Special— and she effortlessly masters them both. The same goes for Noah Harrison's Princeton and Rod, and Charlie McCullagh's Nicky, Trekkie Monster and Bad Idea Bear. And when it comes to the human characters, Amelia Kinu Muus's brash, extroverted Christmas Eve stole the show. This is of course complemented by Anna Louizos's iconic set, packed full of details that die-hard fans know and love, as well as some brand-new surprises. Right now feels like the perfect time for an Avenue Q revival, given our age of rising costs of living and increased polarisation. These are heavy issues that affect our day-to-day lives, but exploring them using puppets gives us enough distance to laugh at our problems. As well as these laughs, Avenue Q offers us an insightful and nuanced take on life. Our dreams may or may not come true, we may or may not get the girl, maybe we'll never find our purpose. We're all just looking for community and a sense of humour – and that's something you'll definitely find at Avenue Q.

Crunchyroll vs Netflix: Which streaming service is better for anime fans?
Once confined to the corners of the internet, anime is now growing in popularity. According to Spherical Insights, the anime market in the UK is set to grow by 10.39% between 2025 and 2035. Where once it would take hours of trawling through Reddit forums to find the perfect link, mainstream streaming giants are now home to a selection of popular anime – and even some more underground picks. With this sudden explosion in popularity, combined with the rapid growth of streaming services, comes a very modern conundrum. Which streaming service is best for anime fans? So far, the general consensus is that Netflix has the best anime offering of the more generic streaming services, while Crunchyroll is a dedicated streaming service specifically for anime. We've taken into consideration factors like price, selection and streaming quality to find an answer to the question: is Crunchyroll or Netflix better for anime fans? Sign up to Netflix Get a seven-day free trial at Crunchyroll Interested in these streaming services? Check out our roundups of the best Crunchyroll deals and the best Netflix offers. Jump to: Crunchyroll vs Netflix: Variety Crunchyroll vs Netflix: Quality Netflix vs Crunchyroll: Price Crunchyroll vs Netflix: Our verdict Crunchyroll vs Netflix: How much variety is there? When you're deciding on a new steaming service, what are you looking for? Is it a wide variety of content, including anime, or is it a proper deep dive into a wide range of anime? If you lean more towards the first option, then Netflix could be the right fit. The platform boasts iconic series like My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Your Lie in April, Naruto and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, while also hosting a range of TV shows, movies and documentaries from all over the world. When it comes to Crunchyroll however, the selection of anime is noticeably more vast— not surprising for a streaming platform entirely dedicated to anime. From classics to underground cult favourites, there are over 1,000 series available to stream on Crunchyroll. Plus, you'll be able to stream new episodes of the latest series straight from Japan. However, as the platform focuses on anime, you won't be able to find popular TV shows or films. Sign up to Netflix Get a seven-day free trial at Crunchyroll Crunchyroll vs Netflix: what is quality of shows like? While not a major concern for everyone, streaming quality can impact your viewing experience, especially when it comes to anime due to the high level of fine visual detail. With Netflix, the quality of streaming will depend on the subscription tier you opt for. Both the Standard With Ads and the Standard tier offer Full HD (1080p), while the Premium tier allows you to stream content in Ultra HD (4K) + HDR with spatial audio. With Crunchyroll, the story is a little different. Information about Crunchyroll's streaming quality is more difficult to find, but according to one of their Help pages, the service uses three options (highest, moderate and data saver) instead of exact resolutions. Highest steams at the best available quality for the title, data saver aims to preserve data and is optimal for slower connections, while moderate aims to strike a balance between the two. Crunchyroll uses adaptive bitrate streaming, which automatically adjusts the quality of your video according to the strength of your internet connection. This means that it's impossible to give exact numbers for each setting. Sign up to Netflix Get a seven-day free trial at Crunchyroll Netflix vs Crunchyroll: What is the better price? One of the biggest differences between the two streaming services are the membership tiers, and what you can get for each price. When it comes to Netflix, memberships are divided up into three tiers with varying prices and benefits. Here's an overview: Standard With Ads (£5.99 a month): ad interruptions, Full HD (1080p), watch on two devices simultaneously, download on two devices, no extra members allowed Standard (£12.99 a month): ad-free, Full HD (1080p), watch on two devices simultaneously, download on two devices, one extra member allowed Premium (£18.99 a month): ad-free, Ultra HD (4K) + HDR and spatial audio, watch on four devices simultaneously, download on six devices, two extra members allowed In contrast, Crunchyroll is divided up into two tiers, neither of which have ads. Here are some of the details: Fan (£5.99 a month): watch on one device at a time, offline viewing, 5% discount at Crunchyroll store Mega Fan (£6.99 a month): watch on four devices at a time, offline viewing, 10% discount at Crunchyroll store, access to Crunchyroll Game Vault When it comes to price comparisons, Crunchyroll is the clear frontrunner, with its more "expensive" option sitting at only £1 more than Netflix's cheapest option. Sign up to Netflix Get a seven-day free trial at Crunchyroll Crunchyroll vs Netflix: Which streaming service should anime fans sign up to in 2026? While there are plenty of benefits to both streaming services, there is a clear frontrunner in terms of price and anime selection. Crunchyroll is the standout option. As the world's largest dedicated anime streaming platform, it boasts a wide range of anime from popular series to niche options. In contrast to Netflix, both of the Crunchyroll membership tiers come without ads, and even their more expensive subscription will set you back 50% less than a Netflix Standard membership. The benefits of a Crunchyroll membership extend beyond watching anime. Subscribers will also get discounts in the Crunchyroll store (5% for Fans, 10% for Mega Fans), allowing you to save on figurines, DVDs, manga and more. If you're just starting to get into anime, Netflix can be a good place to start as it hosts some of the most popular anime series. It's also a good option if you want a variety of content outside of anime. However, if you're after an anime-rich option with no ads and a lower price, then Crunchyroll is the way to go.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses review: Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner's chemistry is off the charts in this timeless tale of seduction
Tense, sexy and playful, this revival of Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses brings the best of the old and new.
Dangerous Liaisons is a tale that has been adapted time and time again, from TV mini-series to Korean historical romance film to the '90s cult classic film Cruel Intentions. Now it's time to enjoy another adaptation; the National Theatre revival of Christopher Hampton's 1984 Les Liaisons Dangereuses. A revival of a classic tale often reveals plenty about the age we're currently living in – so what does this production mean in the year 2026? Is it a cautionary tale against indulging in lies in the age of post-truth? A commentary on the shallow whims of the ultra-rich? Or is it simply an opportunity to witness the delight of Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner perform a dangerous, sexy tango of words and deceit? Whatever your interpretation, this much is sure: you are in for a wickedly sumptuous show. The 2026 National Theatre production, directed by Marianne Elliott, is a show of contrasts, with lavish costumes set against a sparse stage flanked by mirrors. This eerie juxtaposition makes the audience ill at ease, as well as highlighting both vanity and the sense of being unable to escape from yourself. Hampton's script stays relatively faithful to the original 1782 book Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. We focus on the Marquise de Merteuil (Manville) and the Vicomte de Valmont (Turner), two aristocrats and former lovers who place bets and play games based on manipulation and sexual exploits. What follows are dangerous games of seduction, of both Cécile de Volanges (Hannah van der Westhuysen) and Madame de Tourvel (Monica Barbaro). Tension is rife throughout, with each word of Hampton's script dripping with sensuality and double meaning. A lot of this tension is beautifully portrayed through movement, with choreographer Tom Jackson Greaves's luscious interpretive sequences, using fluid movement to express anguish and raw sexuality where words fail. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/04/Aidan-Turner-Vicomte-de-Valmont-and-Lesley-Manville-Marquise-de-Merteuil-in-Les-Liaisons-Dangereuses-at-the-National-Theatre.-Photographer-Sarah-Lee-LLD068-24f2aee.jpg" width="7416" height="4928" alt="Aidan Turner (Vicomte de Valmont) and Lesley Manville (Marquise de Merteuil) in Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the National Theatre" title="Aidan Turner (Vicomte de Valmont) and Lesley Manville (Marquise de Merteuil) in Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the National Theatre. Photographer Sarah Lee LLD068" /> Speaking of raw sexuality, be prepared for Aidan Turner and Lesley Manville to have you blushing and giggling in your seats. Both actors come into their element in portraying these sultry scumbags, with Turner's performance in particular raising plenty of laughs at his tongue-in-cheek duplicitousness. The chemistry between the pair is more than palpable, as is the chemistry between Turner and each of the many characters he charms into bed as the sleazy yet irresistible Vicomte de Valmont. It isn't entirely a romp, however. In addition to the play's darker turn in Act Two, Hampton's script, like the original text, has plenty to say about the power imbalance between the sexes, as well as boasting a sharp and scrappy female main character. While class differences aren't addressed directly, being more of an implicit feature of the tale, costume designer Natalie Roar highlights intense disparity with her eerie maid's costumes. With covered heads and tightly bound arms, the female servants hover like ghosts – an eerie reminder of the revolution that was to come a decade after the original tale was penned. With an almost three hour run-time (including interval), this is certainly a hefty night at the theatre, but one that you definitely don't want to miss.

Buy J Cole tickets at Ticketmaster Buy J Cole hospitality tickets at Seat Unique Which artists still have tickets for 2026 UK tour dates? Despite the recently skyrocketing demand for tickets, there are plenty of general access tickets remaining for artists touring the UK in 2026. All remaining tickets have been included alongside the artists in the list above. It's no secret that the ticketing industry has changed greatly in the past few years, as demand for live shows has soared post-pandemic. This means that nowadays it's often extremely difficult to get your hands on concert tickets for large venues like the O2, Wembley Stadium or the Eventim Apollo, especially if the artist is a household name. As it becomes increasingly difficult to get tickets for tours and concerts, there is a major way to get around this: purchasing hospitality tickets. Due to their increased price, hospitality tickets aren't an option for everyone. However, if you have the disposable income, you're more likely to get your hands on hospitality tickets rather than general access as there is lower demand. Out of the artists listed above, those who have hospitality tickets still available are listed with ticketing sites like Seat Unique and Ticketmaster, where tickets are still available. Who else is rumoured to tour the UK in 2026? While nothing has been confirmed just yet, there are plenty of rumours circulating about who will be next to announce their UK tour dates. 2026 will see the 50th anniversary of Irish rockers U2. The band have been known to celebrate anniversaries in the past with tours and performances, so we wouldn't be surprised if announcement comes our way soon. Fred Again recently released an album, with USB arriving on 12th December 2025, which makes us think that a USB tour could be on the horizon... Be sure to check back so we can keep you up-to-date with all the last UK tour rumours.
