Shows on Sunday

West End productions are sending out an S.O.S - that’s right Shows On Sundays have arrived!

Until recently, theatres throughout the West End have taken Sunday off as a well earned day of rest, but some top productions, recognising the growing number of people heading to London for weekend breaks, have decided to start staging performances on Sundays.

• Sunday performances, as a fairly new concept, have better availability and better seat choice, which means you do not have to plan that all important theatre trip months in advance and can still expect to secure a great seat to a top show on short notice.

• Many theatregoers who want to make the most of their time in the West End opt for a theatre break. With added new Sunday performances, customers can take advantage of discounted hotel rates on two night stays including Sunday.

• Enjoy a lazy Sunday? All shows offer a matinee performance on the Sunday which gives you a chance to lie in AND still enjoy dinner and an early night after the show without the mad rush home late at night.

• Sunday’s in London are also the perfect opportunity for a weekend shopping trip – but without the Saturday crowds. What better way to round off a day of retail therapy than with a glass of wine and a comfy seat at the theatre.

• With a total of six musicals offering Sunday performances, there is a show to suit every taste. Out of the productions listed below, UKTickets customers have given four of them the maximum customer rating of five stars.
