Best Theatre Shows in London

A totally immersive take on the murder mystery event, Immersive Mysteries is asking you get your sleuthing hat on and head for a unique London location where you'll need to uncover clues and solve a crime.

We were gutted when the hilarious hit show finally ended, but lucky for us, you can experience Only Fools at this immersive dining show. Expect a three-course feast, complete with a side of entertainment from performers and the wheeler-dealers themselves.

Head over to Southwark where Bridge Command has come to land at COLAB Factory. You will make up just one member of a crew of interesting characters whose mission it is to save yourselves and your fellow fliers from the unexpected trouble.

From Mamma Mia through to Matilda, Want Theatre is making your West End trip evening more special. Along with enjoying some of the best seats in the house, the evening will include a slap-up meal at swish London spots, including Library private members club, and a welcome drink.

One of the most unique theatre experiences in London, head to the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard for an evening of intimate immersive theatre in some stunning and exclusive surroundings.

Ever been to Shangri-La Hotel? A luxury space in The Shard, this stunning spot welcomes you to check out one of the best theatre shows in London; complete with Champagne and canapés. Choose from three performances including Hands Across The Sea.

Taking over The Bedford for just two nights this November, Girl From Nowhere is a rock play with a whole lot of heart. Follow the story of fallen rock star Jeannie as she returns to her hometown to face the music, with a live soundtrack of stunning songs and epic performance from writer and star Victoria Rigby.

Definitely one to leave the kids with a babysitter, The Book of Mormon brings adult humour to London's theatre scene. It's proved a hit all round, winning nine TONY awards with its acerbic one liners and crude jokes.

With slap-stick humour and lots of laughs, The Play That Goes Wrong is a great choice for all the family. Don't believe us? The London play also picked up the 'Best New Comedy' title at the Laurence Olivier Awards.

Often hailed as one of Soho's top spots for live entertainment and late-night partying, Phoenix Artists Club is a hub for live music, theatre, cabaret and burlesque. Expect the unexpected from this extravagant haunt of debauchery and decadence.

Following a critically-acclaimed stint in New York, Jeanette Bayardelle is bringing her astonishing and often heartbreaking musical Shida to the Vaults this Autumn. Set to a glorious soundtrack while exploring the tale of an aspiring writer, the true story is sure to be a moving experience. 

With music from Tim Minchin, Matilda might just surprise adults with its sense of humour. The story of the amazing little girl will have both kids and parents giggling in their seats, with a star turn from Miss Trunchbull. 

Featuring much-loved characters such as Genie, Aladdin and Jasmine, the musical is just as heart-warming as the film. There's a lot of big names behind this West End smash, including lyrics from Howard Ashman of Beauty and the Beast fame, and Tim Rice.

Remember the name as Fame hits the stage with a starry cast. The story has enough punch for both adults and kids alike, with high octane dance routines and singalong classics.
