Theatre lovers can get £10 to £60 tickets for 50+ London West End shows including biggies such as Disney's The Lion King, Mamma Mia!, Mean Girls, Les Misérables, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked via Official London Theatre's See It Live promotion – check 'More info' below for the full list of participating shows.
Official London Theatre wouldn't tell us exactly how many tickets are available, but it did say it's thousands. It's best to go quick, as in previous years seats for popular shows have sold out fast. You can book until 11.59pm on Friday 31 January, while tickets last.
The discounted tickets are for performances throughout 2025, not just January and February as it was in previous years when it was known as the Official London Theatre New Year Sale. It includes a mixture of matinée, evening, and weekend performances.
The saving you get varies per show and per seat. £10 tickets will usually be the cheapest normal-priced seats in the theatre, and £60 tickets will be the top-priced (non-premium) seats. Though do note, not all shows will offer £10 tickets in this sale.

You can book up to 10 tickets per show with one card and there’s no limit to the number of performances you can get tickets for. If you have Theatre Tokens, you can pay for your tickets using those.
You'll be sent tickets via email, which you can print or show on your phone. You can't get refunds unless a show is cancelled, but Official London Theatre says exchanges may be possible, depending on availability.
Ticketing platform TodayTix has launched its Black Friday sale, offering discounts on more than 50 London West End shows. You can book tickets at the TodayTix website or via its free app. We've asked TodayTix when the sale ends and will update here once we know.
Examples of top shows & discounts we spotted on Friday 29 November:
Fawlty Towers the Play – from £15 (joint cheapest we've seen with London Theatre)
A Very Naughty Christmas – from £15 (joint cheapest we've seen with London Theatre)
The Mousetrap – from £15 (joint cheapest we've seen with London Theatre)
Why Am I So Single? – £23 (joint cheapest we've seen with Official London Theatre)
The Play That Goes Wrong – from £23 (cheapest we've seen)
MJ the Musical – from £23 (cheapest we've seen)
The prices above were the cheapest we saw for these shows, though many were matched by London Theatre's Black Friday sale, or other ticketing platforms. We found that some of the other discounted shows were cheaper elsewhere. For example, Peppa Pig's Fun Day Out tickets are from £13 with TodayTix but from £10 direct with Theatre Royal Haymarket.

The popular 'Kids Week' theatre promotion is back. You can nab a free child ticket (for children aged 17 and under) to 50+ London theatre shows with the purchase of a full-priced adult ticket from the Official London Theatre's Kids Week website. It's for selected performances from Wednesday 24 July until Friday 6 September, while tickets last.
Shows include Shrek, Mrs Doubtfire, Wicked, Sister Act, Wizard of Oz, The Play That Goes Wrong and more – see the full list of 50+ shows. Tickets went on sale on Tuesday 11 June, and popular shows and seats can sell out fast, so go quick if it's something you want.
If you're bringing more than one child, the first child ticket is free and then you can get 50% off for a maximum of two more children per adult. Savings can be up to £90 depending which shows and seats are selected – and there are no booking or postage fees.
It's not every performance of every show – some exclude their most popular performances, such as matinees or weekends. Tickets are distributed randomly across all dates, shows and seat prices, so it helps to be flexible in your choice.
During the booking process you'll get to see which seats are available. You can book a maximum of eight tickets per show (one free child per paying adult). If you can't find the tickets you want, it's worth checking back at a later date – in past years we've seen some shows increase their allocation of tickets as time goes on.
For more tips on how to take a trip to the theatre for less, see our Cheap theatre tickets guide.
Here's a list of all Kids Week 2024 shows. Age recommendations and restrictions will vary, which you'll be able to check at each show's listing at the Kids Week website.
