London Theatre Week is back once again with West End bargains – with tickets from £19

London has a lot of West End theatre sales, the biggest of which is indisputably London Theatre Week. While the actual discounts and participants vary from year to year, LTW is quite literally the biggest sale: despite the name promising a mere seven days of stagey bargains, there are actually two London Theatre Weeks a year, and they’re both a month long. It makes no sense, but we’ll take it…

Without further ado then: the first LTW of the year is upon us now, and lasts until March 8 and there’s plenty of great bargains to be scored, with the headlining attraction being the multitude of big name West End long-runners taking part including The Lion King, Hamilton, Mamma Mia!, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Book of Mormon, My Neighbour Totoro, Matilda, Six, Oliver!, The Devil Wears Prada and Wicked, with tickets for these starting from £19 when you book here (yes, Time Out is a partner).

Those are the big splashy names, but it’s also a great opportunity to book in for a new show that might be some months away from opening and may sell out when the reviews drop, but for now is happy to drop prices a little. Smart tickets to get might include the National Theatre’s lavish new production of Gorky’s Summerfolk, Kiln’s Beatles drama Please Please Me, and the Royal Court’s African space race drama The Afronauts.

Whatever the case, it’s well worth a rummage though if you’re thinking of making a London theatre booking anytime soon.

London Theatre Week runs until Mar 8. Book tickets here.
