Fancy scoring sweet deals on top plays and musicals — while helping to keep the London theatre scene thriving? You need to know about Official London Theatre.
This fantastic source for West End tickets is run by the Society of London Theatre, a not-for-profit organisation that's been championing the magic of live performance since 1908. It works directly with theatre owners and producers to give you access to news and promotions that you won't find anywhere else.
We're talking up to 50% off incredible (and often award-winning) shows — deals you can take advantage of via Official London Theatre's website, or by visiting the Official London Theatre Ticket Booth in Leicester Square.
Special offers are updated regularly, so it's worth keeping tabs on the website or signing up to Official London Theatre's mailing list to avoid missing out. Feeling spontaneous? Official London Theatre also runs a bunch of on-the-day deals for last minute theatre trips.
Don't miss Kids Week
Official London Theatre has longer-term ticket offers, too. Take Kids Week, for example, which this year runs all summer long (you've got till 31 August to book, and select shows are offering tickets for September performances, too).
During Kids Week, children aged 17 and under can see participating shows for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult. What's more, each full-paying adult can also purchase up to two additional children's tickets at half price, and there are no booking fees.
This year's highlights include My Neighbour Totoro, 101 Dalmatians, and Clueless The Musical — all brand new participants for 2025 — plus returning favourites like Matilda The Musical, Horrible Histories and Wicked.
What to see this summer — and beyond!
You can book so many world-class shows right now via Official London Theatre. These include a glittering array of West End musicals, from classics like Cabaret, Oliver! and The Phantom of the Opera, to newer shows such as Six, Operation Mincemeat, and Hadestown.
There are plenty of plays, too. Treat yourself to a star-studded production or two (this autumn you can see Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln in The Lady from The Sea, or catch David Harewood as Othello, opposite Toby Jones' Iago). Have a giggle with a spot of comedy (The Play That Goes Wrong, Austentatious). Or push escapism to the max with an immersive show such as A Midsummer Night's Dream, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or Witness for the Prosecution.

You'll find all these productions and many more on the Official London Theatre website. Have a browse, and don't forget to sign up to that mailing list for the latest theatreland news and offers.
