Morgan & West's Magic Show for Kids & Childish Grown Ups
Time-travelling magicians Morgan & West have sleeves full of tricks that will astound kids, and bamboozle adults. Close-up magic, jokes, and plenty of audience involvement make this a ridiculously entertaining hour of Victorian-themed trickery. Ages five-plus.
Matilda the Musical
If you haven't made it to this gleefully anarchic treat of a musical, the Easter hols could be the time to get cracking. Roald Dahl's story is full of enough silliness, poignancy and wry digs at pushy parents to delight audiences of all ages. Ages five-plus.
Wicked
With flying witches and a giant, fire-breathing dragon coiling its way over the stage, this long-running musical is calculated to thrill fantasy-loving kids. It's a 'Wizard of Oz' rewrite that's packed full of memorable songs, not least its breakout hit 'Defying Gravity'.
