How to get tickets to Christine Baranski and Richard E Grant in limited West End comedy this autumn
Christine Baranski is set to make her West End debut this autumn while Richard E Grant returns to the London stage for the first time in 20 years.
A momentous occasion on two fronts: Mamma Mia! actress Christine Baranski is set to make her West End debut this autumn while Richard E Grant returns to the London stage for the first time in 20 years. Both actors are set to star in a limited run of Noël Coward's Hay Fever, otherwise known as A Comedy of Bad Manners. The pair will play Judith and David Bliss in the show, which follows the retirement years of a former actress and reclusive novelist who invite a number of inappropriate guests to their home. As the synopsis reads: "It’s loathesome being looked after. Last year, Judith retired from her life-on-stage. Already, she misses the applause. Idling away at their country home, the rest of the family – reclusive novelist husband David and failure-to-launch children Sorrel and Simon – are too self-involved to be a good audience. "So, Judith invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend. But unbeknownst to her, each of the Blisses have a guest of their own arriving at the very same time. Completely unsuited to hosting and allergic to compromise, the house quickly erupts into a chaos of parlour games, put-downs and unrequested encores." Despite being a prolific stage and screen actress, including two-time Tony Award winner, Baranski has never appeared on the West End stage. Following the announcement she said: "I attended my first West End play as a student at Juilliard in 1971, so it's rather a dream come true to perform at Wyndham’s Theatre in a Noël Coward play in the West End. I look forward to a life in London, a city I absolutely adore. I last performed on stage 20 years ago, and coincidentally, Richard E. Grant last performed in the West End 20 years ago! "Richard is so gifted, whip smart, and wickedly funny. I look forward to “tearing a passion to tatters” with him alongside our brilliant director, Emily Burns. Hay Fever is a 101-year-old comedy of appalling manners. It requires quicksilver delivery and suave flamboyance. I hope it will be a delicious treat for audiences to spend time with this Blissful Bohemian family!” While Grant added: "25 years ago, I guest starred for a night in ‘The Play What I Wrote’ at the beautiful Wyndham’s Theatre. I am delighted to return to the Wyndham’s stage (and maybe to a bigger dressing room) alongside the sensational Christine Baranski in Noël Coward’s delicious comedy, Hay Fever, which premiered in the West End 101 years ago (but who’s counting?). I love the theatre and am thrilled to return to it, and to be directed by the illustrious Emily Burns.” The play is coming to Wyndham's Theatre for a strictly limited run from 22 September to 12 December, and tickets are on sale now. Buy Hay Fever tickets at TodayTix When and where can I see Hay Fever? Hay Fever is coming to Wyndham's Theatre from just 22 September to 12 December this year.

When life gets you down, there’s always rugby to full-back on. Here’s how you can get tickets to the Gallagher Prem Final.
The competition for the Gallagher Prem trophy is really heating up. 10 English clubs are currently battling it out to stand on the legendary grass of the Allianz – formerly Twickenham – Stadium this June, for the chance of winning the ultimate prize in rugby.

The event is held in front of a crowd of 82,000 fans and is an all-round event, complete with food and drink (although it’s pretty pricey), plus half-time entertainment. To get there, you can get to Twickenham Rail Station via Southwestern Rail, which is accessible from London stops like Waterloo and Clapham Junction. Or, you can take the underground to Richmond (which is on the District Line) and take a 40 minute walk.

How to get Trainspotting the musical tickets as cult classic heads for West End this summer
Trainspotting the Musical is coming, and it's going to shake up everything.
Danny Boyle’s classic movie Trainspotting is getting new life this summer 30 years after its original release. The film that reshaped British cinema in the 90s is heading for the West End for a "seismic and expectation-defying" new musical. The brand-new show has been written by Trainspotting novel writer Irvine Welsh with Caroline Jay Ranger on board to direct. The first casting has also been announced with Scottish actor Robbie Scott to play Ewan McGregor’s role of Renton, marking his west end debut. In the press release Welsh said: "This musical has a bigger, loudly beating human heart than either the book or the film. The various stage adaptations of Trainspotting have become acclaimed and moving theatrical experiences and the soundtrack to the movie is obviously iconic. "So it made sense to put the music and words together to create an explosive, provocative and entertaining show. "People need to think about the world we're living in, and we offer that inspection, but they also really need to sing their hearts out and laugh their heads off - it's what being human is all about - and they'll be well served with this too." We’ve also been teased with the news that “original confrontational and celebratory songs” written by Stephen McGuinness and Irvine Welsh will be joined by some of the films best loved tracks – so expect a bit of Underworld and Iggy Pop. Trainspotting is considered a phenomenon for its unflinching, non-glorified portrayal of heroin addiction in 1990s Edinburgh. It follows McGregor's character and his friends Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), Begbie (Robert Carlyle), Spud (Ewen Bremner) and Tommy (Kevin McKidd). At the time of its release it was an instant critical and commercial smash, becoming the biggest grossing UK film of the year taking over $76 million worldwide. Now, it sits in the hall of fame as one of the greatest British films of all time. Trainspotting the Musical now promises to keep the banner flying: "Radical, invigorating and life-affirming, this provocative, unforgettable experience will have even the most sceptical leave on a consciousness-altering high. "Trainspotting is not just a show. It’s a moment. It’s a manifesto. It’s who we are." The show will hit London's Royal Theatre Haymarket from 15 July and tickets are already on sale at the official Trainspotting website. Buy Trainspotting tickets at Ticketmaster Buy Trainspotting tickets at LOVETheatre When and where can I see Trainspotting the Musical? Trainspotting will come to London's Theatre Royal Haymarket with previews starting from 15 July. Opening night will be on 22 July.

And if you're wondering how exactly to get to Wimbledon, it’s around a 20-minute walk from Wimbledon Park Station (which is on the District Line) or a 25-minute walk from Southfields (also District Line). You can also walk from Wimbledon Station, which is accessible via tram.

(Photo by Rob Newell - CameraSport via Getty Images)" title="Day Fourteen: The Championships - Wimbledon 2024" /> There are three ways to get Wimbledon tickets: the public ballot, through the Queue and through hospitality tickets. We’re going to outline what each of these are. Public ballot for Wimbledon 2026 The public ballot has been a tradition since 1924 and is the most common way of getting tickets to Wimbledon. How it works is: each year the ballot opens for a limited time in September during which you send off an application. Going in the ballot does not guarantee you tickets and it is not possible to request tickets for specific days or courts. Once the ballot has closed, spots will be randomly assigned and you'll find out if you've been lucky enough to get tickets from now until February. You can only buy up to two tickets per household and once you receive your offer you'll need to pay immediately and in full to secure a place, however, you can also choose to let the tickets go. The public ballot for Wimbledon 2026 is now closed, anyone who entered will know if they were successful by now. How to buy Wimbledon 2026 hospitality tickets If you miss out on the public ballot, or you want to experience Wimbledon with a splash of luxury, consider hospitality. Official partners like Seat Unique and P1 Travel offer Wimbledon hospitality packages from now and these are often available right up until the tournament begins. These tickets include a range of extra perks and comforts to make your Wimbledon experience more enjoyable, including food, drink and even meeting a tennis legend – but beware, they don’t come cheap. Buy Wimbledon hospitality tickets at Seat Unique Buy Wimbledon hospitality tickets at P1 Travel What is The Queue at Wimbledon? The Queue is a famous part of the Wimbledon tradition where tennis fans try to get tickets on the day of play. Each day, a large Queue forms to buy either a Show Court ticket (which are much more limited) or a Grounds ticket. Tickets are sold on a first-come-first-served, one ticket per person basis and are non-transferable. The Queue starts in Wimbledon Park from the Sunday before the tournament starts. Over the years, the event has become a sort of mini festival, with people bringing tents and food as they wait for around 40 hours to get to the front. It’s a polite and sociable event, and well-worth trying if you’ve never been to Wimbledon before. How much do Wimbledon 2026 tickets cost? The price of Wimbledon tickets entirely depends on what day you attend and what court you visit. For instance, if you visit Court No.3 on the first day of the tournament, your ticket will cost £55, while sitting at No.1 Court during the quarter and semi-finals start at £200. The cheapest tickets you can get are Ground Admission, these cost £21 – £33 and are the perfect solution to those who just want to soak up the atmosphere, eat strawberries and wear a nice hat. Meanwhile the most expensive is of course Centre Court, whose prices range from £80 to £350 across the tournament. How much do Wimbledon hospitality tickets cost and what’s included? Wimbledon hospitality packages are very expensive, with prices starting at over £1,000 per person. However, with these tickets you’re paying for a full Wimbledon experience complete with high-quality food, entertainment, and a great view of the tennis. Every hospitality ticket will include the minimum of a private table, access to the Centre or No.1 Court and a dinner menu. The best tickets will include a private suite, a four-course menu and chauffeur service. Here's a look at the different packages available, and be aware that some are starting to get sold out.

Welsh acting legend Michael Sheen to return to stage play that kick-started career opposite It's a Sin favourite
Michael Sheen hasn't been on the West End since 2006's Frost/Nixon.
Michael Sheen is heading back to the West End for the first time in 20 years to perform in the play that kick-started his career. The Good Omens star is returning to Peter Schaffer's seminal play Amadeus, the show he originally premiered in London and Broadway in 1998. Following the story of famed composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the play tracks the dangerous rivalry between him and embittered court composer Antonio Salieri in Vienna 1820. Upon its first run, Sheen played Mozart himself, but now returns to the part of Salieri, while It's a Sin star Callum Scott Howells takes on the titular role. Amadeus sees Sheen and Howells reunite for the first time since their collaboration on BBC drama The Way, also marking the first time two Welsh actors have taken on the iconic roles in the same production. The show is also another major production to come out of Sheen's company, the Welsh National Theatre, which had its inaugural run of Our Town earlier this year. The company will run performances in New Theatre Cardiff from 9-27 March 2027 before hitting London's Noël Coward Theatre from 17 April-17 August. Sheen said: “It’s a full-circle moment for me to return to the West End with Amadeus. To play Salieri opposite a fellow Welshman as Mozart -a role that has meant so much to me – feels very special indeed. "I directed Callum in my television drama The Way; he’s an extraordinary talent who deserves this stage, and audiences should be excited for what’s to come. "To bring this vital new production to both Cardiff and the West End – a first for a Welsh National Theatre – feels like an important next step on our journey." Prior to Our Town, Sheen last appeared in London for a run of hit show Nye. However, as this was at the National Theatre, his last official West End production was 2006's Frost/Nixon. Meanwhile, Scott Howells has appeared in the beloved West End run of Cabaret as one of the Emcees. Following the announcement, he said: "“It feels like a dream come true to be playing Mozart in this production next year. "I have wanted to play the role for a very long time so to be given this opportunity to work with Jeremy and Michael to bring this extraordinary world to life feels like a real gift. "I’m extremely excited to bring a brand new take on this epic story to the stage in both Cardiff and the West End in 2027.” The full synopsis reads: "Vienna, 1820. A respected composer makes a shocking confession. Antonio Salieri has everything – status, success, and the certainty that he has earned them. Until he meets musical prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Vulgar and childish, but utterly brilliant, Mozart possesses a gift so extraordinary that Salieri believes it can only be divine. And that God has chosen the wrong man. "Faced with a brilliance he cannot rival, Salieri begins a dangerous obsession that threatens to consume them both - channelling his jealousy into a calculated campaign to destroy the man he both worships and despises. "Fuelled by some of the greatest music ever written, Amadeus is an electrifying story of ambition, faith, and the unbearable cost of greatness - where talent battles genius, devotion turns to betrayal, and man dares to challenge God." Tickets for the show will go on sale at 10am on 24 April with 15,000 tickets available for £30 or less.

Stephen Merchant's acclaimed film starring Slow Horses star confirmed to be getting stage musical adaptation
The real-life story of WWE superstar Paige is taking centre stage.
Stephen Merchant's beloved film Fighting With My Family is confirmed to be getting an on-stage musical adaptation. The 2019 film, which starred Florence Pugh, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Slow Horses star Jack Lowden, follows the true story of WWE wrestler Paige, also known as Saraya Knight, who rose from an obscure Norwich upbringing to wrestling super stardom. Drawing on the biopic's coming-of-age themes, the press release for the forthcoming adaptation reads: "When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity takes her from Norwich to America’s glitzy WWE, she must confront who she really is without her family in her corner." The movie reached huge acclaim after premiering at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival before getting a wider global release in February of that year, earning $41.5 million at the global box office. The stage adaptation is being brought to life by collaboration from Dwayne Johnson's company Seven Bucks Productions and Tilted Musicals, as well as Merchant, Kevin Fisher and Birmingham Hippodrome – the show's likely venue. Following the announcement Merchant said: "When we were making the film, I always thought of it like a musical: a young woman from the ‘chorus line’ fighting to get her big break, surrounded by theatrical, larger-than-life characters and huge sweeping emotions. "I approached each wrestling match like it was a different dance number, building to a big show-stopping finale. Seeing the film reimagined for the stage feels like the natural next step. The team have captured the humour, grit and heart of the story in a way that feels both faithful to the film and completely fresh." Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson said: "Fighting With My Family feels exceptionally well-suited for the stage. It’s packed with personal emotion expressed through the dynamic world of wrestling, which has always been about storytelling and connecting with a live audience. Working with Stephen Merchant on the film was a truly special experience, and his brilliant work deserves this new act. As it comes to life musically, I have no doubt it will be an absolute blast for theatregoers." The show is promising a "vibrant songbook" from composer Miranda Cooper who penned over 30 top ten singles for British acts in the 2000s and number ones for major pop acts including Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Pet Shop Boys, Alesha Dixon and Kylie Minogue. Further details about the musical have yet to be announced, although it's clear workshops will close at the end of this year with a potential premiere for 2027.

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."

How to get Royal Ascot tickets for all 2026 race dates
Get ahead of the curve and buy Royal Ascot 2026 tickets today.
Royal Ascot 2026 is just a few furlongs away, so it's time to grab your smartest outfit and start planning a trip for a fantastic day at the races. Founded way back in 1711 by Queen Anne, the first ever Royal Ascot race saw the winner awarded 100 guineas. In 2025, the prize money totalled £10 million, with no race run for less than £110,000. Besides racing, Royal Ascot is known for its star-studded visitors and, of course, the fashion. Every year, race-goers sport their glad rags and head to Berkshire for a day of horse racing, eating and drinking, and enjoying live music. You might be thinking we're a little early with the Royal Ascot ticket information, but if last year is anything to go by, 2026 tickets will sell quickly. Also, at the time of writing, tickets for Royal Ascot start from just £25, so there's no better time than now to gather your friends and purchase tickets.

What are the Royal Ascot 2026 dates? Royal Ascot will run from Tuesday 16th June until Saturday 20th June 2026. Day one of Royal Ascot is the Royal Meeting, which will begin with seven races on the card (instead of six after officials expanded the schedule). Day two will include one Group 1 race and three Group 2 races: the Royal Hunt Cup, the Queen’s Vase and the Duke of Cambridge Stakes. Day three is commonly referred to as 'Ladies Day' – but more on this later! – and it also features Ascot’s oldest race, the G1 Gold Cup. Day four has six top-level races on the card, so you can be sure to witness a star-studded line-up. Day five, the final day, has three Group 1 races, including the Group 1 Platinum Jubilee Stakes worth a huge £1 million. Buy Royal Ascot tickets at eticketing Buy Royal Ascot tickets at Seat Unique When is Royal Ascot Ladies Day 2026? Royal Ascot Ladies Day will take place on Thursday 18th June, day three of the Royal Ascot races. As you may already know, Royal Ascot Ladies Day is an occasion where fashion takes centre stage and people flock to the racecourse in their fanciest attire. The day was coined 'Ladies Day' as women were traditionally offered free or discounted tickets on day three of the races. Where is Royal Ascot 2026? Royal Ascot takes place at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. The racecourse is easily accessible by car – with car parking spaces available – and public transport, with Ascot rail station only a seven-minute walk away. What are the different enclosures at Royal Ascot? There are four enclosures at Royal Ascot, and we've included the details for all of them below. Royal Enclosure With origins dating back to 1807, the Royal Enclosure is the most exclusive area at the races, open only to members of the Royal Enclosure and their guests. The enclosure remains exclusive as all prospective members need to be sponsored by two existing members to be accepted. Queen Anne Enclosure The Queen Anne Enclosure is Royal Ascot's premier public enclosure, which awards race-goers Parade Ring viewing. Village Enclosure For a vibrant atmosphere at the races, the Village Enclosure is the place to be. This enclosure is only open Thursday to Saturday during the Royal Meeting, and it offers a festival-like experience from the centre of the track, with places to eat and an after-party. Windsor Enclosure The Windsor Enclosure is the entry-level enclosure; guests can bring their own picnic and bottle of wine, and there is no formal dress code. How much do Royal Ascot tickets cost? At the time of writing (Wednesday 27th August) tickets to Royal Ascot will set you back from £25 per adult for the Windsor Enclosure, £60 for the Village Enclosure, and £75 for the Queen Anne Enclosure. It's worth noting that ticket prices will increase as you head towards Saturday, and we'd also like to flag that ticket prices could increase as we get nearer to June 2026, so if you're able to purchase Royal Ascot tickets now, we'd recommend it. Buy Royal Ascot tickets at eticketing Are there Royal Ascot 2026 hospitality packages? Yes! Reputable hospitality site Seat Unique is offering VIP packages for Royal Ascot 2026. Ticket prices vary depending on which day you choose, with tickets being the most expensive on the popular Ladies Day. The cost of a ticket will also increase depending on the hospitality package you select. For example, the cheapest hospitality package is Ascot Pavilion which sets you back from £390 per person and includes perks such as a large private balcony, three-course lunch, full afternoon tea and a complimentary bar. The most expensive Parade Ring Restaurant which costs up to £4,499, and includes fantastic offerings like a full day access to the Royal Enclosure, five-course à la carte luncheon, access to a private trackside viewing area, and a complimentary bar. Buy Royal Ascot tickets at Seat Unique What is the dress code for Royal Ascot? You might be surprised to know that it's not all top hats, tails and waistcoats at Royal Ascot – unless, of course, you want to. As we mentioned earlier, there is no formal dress code at the Windsor Enclosure, guests are encouraged to wear 'smart daywear'. This might look like a jacket, collared shirt and full-length trousers, or a smart dress and a fascinator. If you have Village Enclosure tickets, women are expected to wear a dress or top and skirt with a hat, headpiece or a fascinator; jumpsuits are allowed but thin straps are not. Men should sport a suit jacket or blazer with chinos or formal trousers, plus a tie or a cravat. At the Queen Anne Enclosure, the same rules as the Village Enclosure apply, except men have to wear a two or three-piece suit and a necktie with a 'pattern of a patriotic nature', for example, the national flag. Finally, if you purchase one of the Royal Enclosure hospitality tickets, the dress code is very strict. Dresses should fall just above the knee or longer, and hats must be worn and must have a brim of at least 4 inches, and men, be prepared to sport full morning dress – top hats, tails, waistcoats, the works!

How to get French Open 2026 tickets if you missed out on public ballot
Put a bounce back into your step by getting tickets to this year's French Open.
Set on the iconic Roland Garros courts, this tournament marks 130 years of the French Open, and kick starts the summer tennis season which ultimately ends in Wimbledon. Although the British grass court season is beloved, the high-stakes and tension of its European counterpart is unmatched – plus it's a perfect excuse to get out of the country in early summer. Every year, tickets for the event are scarce; therefore, the organisers have introduced a ballot system which has sadly already closed. However, there is still hope. Whether it's through hospitality or second sales, there are still plenty of ways to grab yourself a seat at this year's tournament, so let's serve up everything you need to know. Buy French Open hospitality tickets at P1 Travel You can also look at how to get Wimbledon tickets. Jump to: When is the French Open 2026? When did French Open tickets go on sale?

Here's the date for this year's event: 18 May – 7 June 2026 The first week is always a practice period, with round one officially kicking off on Sunday 24 May. The Finals for the Ladies Singles, Ladies Doubles, Men's Singles and Men's Doubles will all be played on Saturday 6 June. When did French Open tickets go on sale? Last year the French Open introduced a new ballot system for tickets, similar to Wimbledon. Entry to the 2026 ballot closed on 17 December 2025. As with other ticket lotteries, entering the ballot did not guarantee you tickets to the Open. Instead, those whose names were drawn will by notified via e-mail before the end of February 2026.

Every West End and London theatre show we gave 5-stars in 2026 and how to get tickets
Fancy a night out at the theatre? These are the West End shows, musicals and plays in London right now that we gave 5/5.
Right now, we're living in a golden age of theatre. Last month, the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) and UK Theatre published their annual report which found that more than 37 million people visited a UK theatre last year, 17.64 million in the West End alone. That, dear reader, is nearly three million more than Broadway attracts each year, and two million more than the entire Premier League. Another independent study also found that visiting a play, musical or dance is one of the top 10 joy-giving activities we can do. This research, The Joy Test, was commissioned by Immediate in partnership with the University of Sussex, with nearly 10,000 participants exploring the motivations and emotional impact our leisure activities. Theatre ranked as number seven on a national level – and three for audiences of Radio Times. Put plainly by Kate Varah, Executive Director and Co-Chief Executive at the National Theatre: "Those are remarkable figures, and they underline something we don’t always say loudly enough: theatre isn’t niche, it’s central to how people choose to spend their time." With that in mind, we've put in some time to rank our absolute top West End shows available in London right now. Every one of these shows has been seen and given five out of five stars by your reviewing team, and we want to tell you exactly why. From off-beat comedies, to glitzy favourites to poignant plays, there's just so much to see, so here's every five-star show we'd recommend right now. Meet your critics: Olivia & Joanna Hi! We're Olivia and Joanna, your Radio Times theatre critics who have reviewed more than 60 West End shows between us. While our tastes sometimes differ, we can definitely agree the best musical is Fiddler on the Roof and that Operation Mincemeat is a work of genius. On musical theatre karaoke nights our picks would be A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd (Olivia) and Maybe This Time from Cabaret (Joanna), plus we've both had our own starring moments as an unemployed businessman in Little Shop of Horrors (Olivia) and Brother Dan in Joseph (Joanna) – may or may not have been in primary school.

After a chance encounter, he finds a home with the Brown family at their beautiful house in Windsor Gardens. But, as the synopsis reads "London isn’t all cream teas and friendly faces – and even the happiest families have their cracks beneath the surface. So when Paddington’s life is suddenly in peril, the Browns must decide just how far they’re willing to go – and what they’re willing to risk – to give this special bear a home." Now the winner of seven Olivier Awards, this show is a simply wonderful experience. From the minute Paddington enters the stage, the ensemble belting out his name in a pleasingly Hamilton-esque introduction, you're guaranteed to tear up because he is just so. damn. cute. With music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher, the songs definitely carry McFly's brand of universal appeal, blending orchestral layers with fluffy pop and few healthy belters for good measure. Plus, the set and extravagant dance routines work to turn this whole thing into a huge spectacle. Read the full Paddington review here. Tickets available at: ATG Tickets (from £28.95) LOVETheatre (from £28) Virgin Experience Days (£100 for two) Kinky Boots Venue: London Coliseum When is it on until: July 2026 Strictly Come Dancing favourite Johannes Radebe is currently starring in the London run of Kinky Boots. Alongside Matt Cardle the dancer is showing off his fantastic singing and acting chops in the heart-warming story of a Northampton shoe factory that comes under the guidance of a drag queen named Lola. With songs by Cindy Lauper, this musical is feel-good personified. Packed with hilarious moments and huge personalities, not forgetting a few poignant lessons about acceptance and love, it's a non-stop, sparkly treat. Plus, it's a true story which makes the whole thing better. Tickets available at: LOVETheatre (from £19.50) Ticketmaster (from £19.50) The Mousetrap Venue: St Martin's Theatre When is it on until: Ongoing The Mousetrap is the ultimate escapism as you’re transported back in time. St Martin’s Theatre feels appropriately olde worlde and the play itself is the epitome of a whodunnit. The history of the production takes it from a play to an experience. From the play run number on your program, to the theatre, you’re constantly reminded of just how long The Mousetrap has been running. The essence of the play is simple – a small cast of 8 with everything playing out in one room, one set design. But, that leaves nowhere to hide with the cast rise to the occasion as you investigate the murder of Mrs Boyle. Everything from set design to costume feel so considered. The play ends by the audience being asked not to reveal the identity of the killer to anyone outside of the theatre. This supposedly comes from Christie becoming frustrated with the twist of her plots being spoilt in reviews but it also has the added benefit of you leaving feeling like you're part of a secret club. Tickets available at: TodayTix (from £28) Hadestown Venue: Lyric Theatre When is it on until: December 2026 The musical follows the story of Eurydice, a young girl who goes to work in the underworld after being invited there by Hades, to escape poverty. Hades runs the underworld, whereas his wife Persephone — Our Lady of the Underground — runs a speakeasy behind Hades’s back. Orpheus, Eurydice’s singer-songwriter lover, attempts to rescue his love from the underworld, but will they both make it out? Unsurprisingly, Hadestown is the recipient of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Grammy Award for the Best Musical Theatre Album, and we challenge you to not stamp your feet in time to some of the huge, sing-a-long tracks, such as musical's Way Down Hadestown and When the Chips Are Down. The brilliant live band blends American folk with New Orleans-inspired jazz, and you'll hear the recurring sound of a steam train, which represents the two lovers' fateful journey. Read full Hadestown review here. Tickets available at: TodayTix (from £28) Nimax Theatres (from £25) Cabaret Venue: Kit Kat Club (Playhouse Theatre) When is it on until: January 2027 Cabaret is a classic tale of sex, dancing and oppression in 1930s Germany. With beloved songs, genre-defining dances and a gorgeous revolving stage it's definitely not one to miss. Cabaret is currently showing at the KitKat Club at the Playhouse in London's West End and, like 2:22 A Ghost Story, has a constantly changing cast. Right now you can see Busted's Matt Willis who, we can unequivocally say, gives off one of the best and most accomplished performances we've ever seen. Completely unrecognisable, he masters the Emcee's transformation from salacious to terrifying Nazi drone, alongside a wondrous Katie Hall as Sally Bowles. We'd strongly recommend seeing this pair but if not, Jamie Muscato and Joy Woods are taking over soon and are sure to keep up the streak. Tickets available at: LOVETheatre (£36) TodayTix (from £35) KitKat Club (from £35) Operation Mincemeat Venue: Fortune Theatre When is it on until: February 2027 This sharp-witted comedy tells the real-life story of a WWII operation, and answers the question: how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler? If you're thinking that this musical sounds extremely bizarre, you'd be absolutely right. A favourite of several members of the team, this musical is sure to have you humming its soundtrack for the weeks after, but bear in mind it books up quickly and you may need to get Rush tickets to see it. In terms of comedy, the show pokes fun at just about everyone, from cockneys to the upper class, and wastes no time in satirising the ‘brave’ men behind the scenes at the government who feel they’re the ones really putting in the effort to win the war. The opening two songs especially, Born To Lead and God That’s Brilliant, do a great job of establishing these ‘great minds’ whose only plan is to somehow kill Hitler when he’s on a train. Plus, every song becomes a wild ride with lighting, choreography and set design constantly in motion. Read our Operation Mincemeat review here. Tickets available at: ATG Tickets (from £63.30) Ticketmaster - UK tour tickets (from £30.95) Six the Musical Venue: Vaudeville Theatre When is it on until: Ongoing By now, you've probably caught a glimpse of this bizarre retelling of the lives of Henry VIII’s six wives. In the musical, each wife takes it in turns to share their story of how they were wronged by the Tudor King, and why that means they should be the lead singer of the wives’ pop group. It's the perfect show for a camp, glitzy, fun-loving night at the theatre and great for getting any young fans into history. The soundtrack is unbelievable catchy and makes this show as much a pop concert as it is a musical. Tickets available at: TodayTix (from £35) LOVETheatre (from £40) The Producers Venue: Garrick Theatre When is it on until: September 2026 The Producers follows a "delicious" scheme set up by two – you guessed it — theatre producers, the devious Max Bialystock (played by Andy Nyman) and the wide-eyed ex-accountant Leopold Bloom (played by Marc Antolin), who would love nothing more than to be a real-life Broadway producer. The scheme is devised after Bloom lets it slip that it's more profitable to create a Broadway flop than a Broadway success, and the two producers set out to create the biggest flop of them all... And what could be a bigger failure than the musical Springtime for Hitler, written by Nazi sympathiser Franz Liebkind (played by Harry Morrison)? Read our The Producers review here. Tickets available at: TodayTix (from £28) ATG Tickets (from £30) The Book of Mormon Venue: Prince of Wales Theatre When is it on until: Ongoing From the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, comes this comedy musical about two Latter-Day missionaries who are posted to a remote Ugandan village to preach the faith of the Church, and to convert its inhabitants to Mormonism. It's packed full of wicked and sometimes shocking humour— not for the faint of heart, but it's sure to have you in stitches. Tickets available at: London Theatre Direct (from £20) TodayTix (from £23) LOVEtheatre (from £24) Inter Alia Venue: Wyndham's Theatre When is it on until: June 2026 Inter Alia (a Latin phrase meaning 'among other things') follows Jessica Parks, a courtroom judge who is married to Michael, a barrister, and mum to 18 year old Harry. Jessica deals with plenty of intense cases in the courtroom, many of which focus on sexual assault; however, she is forced to confront this topic differently when the theme of sexual assault enters her life in a much more personal way. Suzie Miller's writing is bustling, vibrant, emotional. She manages to cover a wide range of themes and topics without the play feeling crammed or overstuffed; an extremely difficult skill to master. All of these complicated themes are made manifest in Rosamund Pike's jaw-dropping performance. Pike is a tour-de-force, bustling ceaselessly as she switches from courtroom to home, constantly taking phone calls, setting tables, ironing shirts, delivering verdicts and more. No wonder she just scooped up an Olivier for the part. Read our Inter Alia review here. Tickets available at: LOVEtheatre (from £144) TodayTix (from £138) Oh, Mary! Venue: Trafalgar Theatre When is it on until: July 2026 Cole Escola's smash Broadway hit is heading to London's West End, much to the delight of UK theatre fans. This comedy follows the story of Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination and is sure to have you in stitches—especially if you're a theatre nerd. Mason Alexander Park will be playing the titular role until 25 April, with Catherine Tate taking over for the next run. We love this show for its unhinged ranting mixed with proper emotion. It's hilarious, unexpected and oddly moving at all times. Tickets available at: TodayTix (from £33) LOVEtheatre (from £33.50) Titanique Venue: Criterion Theatre When is it on until: August 2026 What do you get when you cross the incredible discography of Celine Dion with one of the most iconic films of all time? You get Titanique, a production which tells the story of Jack and Rose from Titanic through our narrator, the iconic Celine Dion herself. Expect lots of laughs, chaos and expletives, with lots of little easter eggs for fans of pop culture and musical theatre. Above all, it's a crazily fun experience, proven by the fact comedians like Tom Allen want to be a part of it. Tickets available at: London Theatre Direct (from £25) LOVEtheatre (from £32.50) Hamilton Venue: Victoria Palace Theatre When is it on until: Ongoing A blend of hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway is the musical backdrop to this show, which tells the true(ish) story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s founding fathers and George Washington’s right-hand man. Now on stage for a over a decades, Hamilton is still an unmissable musical and you don't need us to tell you how flawless it is. Honestly at this point, it's a religious experience for theatre fans and songs like My Shot, Satisfied, and Guns and Ships will stay in your head for weeks. Tickets available at: LOVETheatre (from £24) TodayTix (from £23) Wicked Venue: Apollo Victoria Theatre When is it on until: Ongoing Wicked knows a thing or two about being ‘Popular’! This musical is the prequel to The Wizard of Oz, and it tells the story of Elphaba (the future Wicked Witch of the West) and her friendship with Glinda (the Good Witch of the South). It was nominated for six Tony awards, including Best Actress, and obviously, has produced an incredible set of films, plus it's celebrating 20 years this autumn so now's the time to go back. Tickets available at: LOVETheatre (from £28) Red Letter Days (£90 for two) Les Misérables Venue: Sondheim Theatre When is it on until: Ongoing Les Misérables is a musical that needs no introduction. After 20 years as a prisoner in 19th century France, Jean Valjean struggles to return to a normal life. At every corner, he is dogged by the ruthless Police Inspector, Javert. Your critic Olivia has seen this show three times, and with 40 years at the West End under its belt it's easy to understand why. In equal parts devastating and inspiring with the best of the best performing every night, it's probably a six-star. Tickets available at: LOVETheatre (from £30) SeatPlan (from £30) Ticketmaster (from £30) Witness for the Prosecution Venue: London County Hall When is it on until: Ongoing impossible for anyone to tell how long it would last. Yet, 70 years later, on the stage of the London County Hall, this thrilling tale of love, lies and of course, murder holds up as if no time has passed at all. Based on the 1925 short story, Traitor Hands, the play follows Leonard Vole, a young man accused of murdering a widow in cold blood to get a hold of her fortune. Despite protesting his innocence, the evidence of the case seems to be against him, helped along by those determined to see him face the noose. As the courtroom drama unfolds and secrets are revealed, the members of the jury (who are in fact paying members of the audience) must decide Leonard’s fate: innocent or guilty?

Tickets available at: London Theatre Direct (from £16) Ticketmaster (from £19.25) Into the Woods Venue: Bridge Theatre When is it on until: 30 May 2026 (transferring to Noel Coward in September) Much like a forest relies on its ecosystem of trees, Stephen Sondheim's classic musical Into the Woods relies entirely on the collective talent of its ensemble. Thankfully, the Bridge Theatre's brand-new adaptation has been blessed with a cast whose performances intertwine and overlap to become a sheer force of nature on stage. The show is a mash-up of well-known fables Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel. In the first act, these stories fold around the quest of a cursed baker in search of the ingredients to bring him a child from the evil witch. In the second, a reckoning comes in the form of a giant, and all our fairy-tale heroes are forced to answer the question of what can happen after happily every after comes?

Venue: Novello Theatre When is it on until: Ongoing It's the story we all know and love, soundtracked by the songs of one of the nation's favourite bands.

The show opened in the Lyceum Theatre over 20 years ago in 1999, and is still going strong after more than 7,500 performances. Tickets available at: TodayTix (from £39) LOVEtheatre (from £39) And a few 4-star West End shows for you too Romeo & Juliet Venue: Harold Pinter Theatre When is it on until: June 2026 Sadie Sink's West End debut is a triumph of tragedy and heartache as she brings Robert Icke's adaptation of Romeo & Juliet back to the London stage. The timeless story of love and death is given a timeless out-of-body atmosphere as scenery, costume and framing devices are used to strand the production in a minimalist world where the 1590s and 2020s blend together. This is joined by a clever time-warping element in which certain scenes are played out twice to suggest how their story could otherwise have gone: Tybalt interrupts Romeo at the party, the Nurse refuses to give Juliet the message, the Friar's letters arrive on time and so on – showing us how cosmically aligned these star-crossed lovers truly are.

Starring Aidan Turner and Lesley Manville, this is a tense, sexy and playful production that doesn't shy away from the darker side of human nature.

Tickets available at: LOVE Theatre (from £30) Stranger Things: The First Shadow Venue: Phoenix Theatre When is it on until: September 2026 The play acts as a prequel to the series and follows a young Henry Creel, who we meet in season 4 of the Netflix show.

As of this October the show is being condensed from two plays into one. Tickets available at: LOVETheatre (from £17.50) Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (from £30) What time do West End shows start and finish? Like with the price, this depends entirely on the show, and whether you've got a matinee or evening performance. Most shows run for two hours to two and a half hours, with a 15-minute interval. A matinee performance usually starts at 2:30pm, whereas the evening performances will often begin around 7:30pm. West End show weekend breaks and hotel stays If you're travelling to London for a West End show, it makes sense to spend a few days in the city; especially if you're planning on seeing an evening performance which will have you leaving the theatre at around 10pm (that's our bedtime!). There are a number of websites, like Holiday Extras, where you can book your theatre tickets and hotel in one go. You can choose which theatre show you'd love to see, then select how many nights you'll stay around your chosen date, and it'll suggest hotels just a stone's throw away from the theatre. Plus, as it's a package deal — a theatre show and hotel combo — you'll save a couple of quid, too. Book a West End show and hotel stay at Holiday Extras What is the easiest way to get to the West End? Travelling to the West End when you live outside of London can seem like a mean feat. But we're here to reassure you that it can be done with minimal faff and on a budget, too. Train timetables are usually released 12 weeks in advance, and train operators put cheap train tickets on sale shortly afterwards. The nearer your travel date, the more expensive the train tickets will be, so be sure to snap up tickets as soon as possible. Railcards are also a great way to save a couple of quid on your travel — 1/3 of the total ticket fare to be precise. Find the right Railcard for you at Trainline. If you live too far away from London to comfortably travel there and back in one day, and let's face it, a lot of us do, you may want to consider an overnight stay. Airbnb offers private rooms and entire homes all across London, so you're bound to find somewhere that fits your budget. Can you get theatre gift vouchers for the West End? Wondering what could be the perfect gift for your theatre-loving friend or family member? The obvious choice is to buy them theatre tickets, but with people's jam-packed schedules and with so many plays and musicals with a whole-host of genres to choose from, buying specific theatre tickets for a specific date might not be the easiest idea.. That's where a London theatre gift voucher comes in! Theatre gift cards are a great present idea for a loved one as you can use them on a range of theatre shows, such as Disney’s The Lion King, Cabaret, Wicked, and Moulin Rouge. The West End theatre gift cards are flexible, too, as a lot of them can be redeemed for up to 12-months from the time of purchasing.
