The London Theatre Week has returned for its eighth year, running from Monday 17 February to Sunday 2 March 2025, with a record-breaking number of participating shows. This year's event marks its largest edition, with a 40 per cent increase in participating shows compared to last year. The initiative offers tickets to over 70 West End productions at prices starting from £15, £25, and £35, making theatre more accessible to a wider audience. For the first time, productions including Hamilton, Titanique, Elektra, and The Great Gatsby are joining the lineup, alongside returning titles such as Back to the Future and The Book of Mormon.
The London Theatre Week is a great opportunity for audiences to experience the incredible range of productions on offer in the West End. With the participation of over 70 shows, there is something for everyone, from classic musicals to new and experimental works. The selection includes new favourites like Titanique and The Great Gatsby, as well as West End staples including The Lion King, The Book of Mormon, Tina the Musical, and Mamma Mia!. The initiative is also a great opportunity for audiences to discover new shows and take a punt on productions that might very well end up selling out when the reviews drop.
The London Theatre Week comes at a time of sustained growth for West End theatre, with audience numbers surpassing 13.2 million in the first three-quarters of 2024, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. The initiative has been praised for making theatre more accessible, particularly for those who may not regularly attend the West End. While tickets are available at reduced rates, however, the availability of lower-priced seats can be limited depending on the production and performance date. The initiative, launched in 2018, has facilitated over six million theatregoers to access discounted tickets, and it remains a significant entry point for audiences who may otherwise be priced out of the West End experience.

- The Lion King
