Wicked
If you’ve still not seen ‘Wicked’, now’s the time to go. The musical backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West was made for Halloween, and there’s an extra afternoon showing on the Thursday of half-term. Kids will leave the theatre belting out ‘Defying Gravity’.
Spook score: 3/5. It’s a spooky spectacular that won’t give them nightmares.
