London Theatre Week, the four-week-long theatre ticket sale, launches today (August 17) and runs until September 13, offering significant discounts on many of the West End's most popular long-running shows. Tickets start from £15 for some productions, with most long-runners priced at £25 and premium shows like Cabaret available from £35.
Major West End Shows Included in the Sale
The sale encompasses a wide range of famous productions, including Cabaret, The Lion King, Les Misérables, Matilda, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, My Neighbour Totoro, The Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked. According to the organizers, nearly every London musical except Hamilton and Paddington is participating in the event.
In addition to long-running favorites, the sale includes acclaimed plays with limited runs, such as Arcadia and Cyrano de Bergerac, providing an opportunity to see them before they close.
Autumn Previews and Upcoming Productions
The sale also offers a chance to secure cheaper tickets for shows arriving in London this autumn that may sell out once they open and receive reviews. Notable upcoming productions in the sale include the UK premiere of the acclaimed US musical Kimberly Akimbo, the Old Vic's limited revival of Martin Guerre (from the writers of Les Mis and Miss Saigon), and a new production of The Cherry Orchard starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Stephen Mangan.
Accessing the offers is straightforward: customers can visit the London Theatre Week landing page (with Time Out as a partner) to book discounted tickets for participating shows during the four-week booking window. Not every offer is available for every performance, as tickets may sell out, so flexibility is advised.
Booking Details and Additional Information
London Theatre Week runs until September 13, with booking available throughout the period. The event is timed to prepare theatregoers for the West End's busier autumn season or to take advantage of bargains during the final stretch of the summer holidays.
