Free West End shows for youths this summer

Planning for the summer holidays? Six weeks of keeping the little ones occupied can take plenty of preparation and even more cash. There are a great deal of fun ways to maintain the youngsters occupied on a budget through the school holidays, and that is made even easier due to Official London Theatre. 

This August, the corporate is bringing back Kids Week, where children can enjoy over 45 top London West End shows without cost. On sale from 10am on 13th June, tickets can be found for an enormous range of shows for the entire family to enjoy.  

If you happen to fancy a sing-along favourite, why not ‘Let it Go’ with Frozen The Musical, or make a journey to Rydell High with Grease. Follow the yellow brick road with Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, or spend the day with the witches of Oz at a showing of Wicked.  

For younger children, there are great shows reminiscent of Blippi: The Wonderful World Tour or The Tiger Who Got here To Tea. Horrible Histories – Terrible Tudors will spark the training of your kids in a fun and memorable way, whilst Disney’s The Lion King is a spectacular event for any age. 

It’s not only young children who can see these shows without cost. Those aged 17 and under can benefit from the experience without spending a penny. So, in case you’re taking your teens to the theatre, why not broaden their minds with gritty Les Miserables or moving theatre like The Crucible. 

Taking a couple of child out with you? Although just one child can get a free theatre ticket per full-paying adult, an extra two children can attend the show for half price – plus, there’s no booking fees! 

24 exciting productions are participating in Kids Week for the primary time, like Ain’t Too Proud, Mrs. Doubtfire, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! and The SpongeBob Musical. Many shows are returning over again, including established Kids Week favourites including Mamma Mia, RSC’s Matilda The Musical and The Smeds And The Smoos. 

 Alongside the performances, shows are offering a wide selection of free activities for Kids Week ticketholders, so look out for ‘Kids Week Curtain Calls’ where all Kids Week bookers in attendance can stay for a post-show Q&A or demonstration after the show, in addition to many more show specific offerings from dance and musical theatre workshops to backstage tours. Also, families travelling into London to see a show can reap the benefits of restaurant deals via OfficialLondonTheatre.com/Deals.    

Kids Week bookers with access requirements can complete the Access Priority Request Form before general on sale. The shape will likely be available on the Kids Week website from 9 June to 11 June. Eligible bookers who’ve accomplished the shape will likely be contacted by the theatre box office on the morning of 13 June.
