Kids Week is back from 1-31 August 2020!
Every year, for the whole of August, we offer a fantastic opportunity where kids aged 16 or under can go to participating shows for free (where tickets are available) as long as they’re accompanied by a full paying adult. Adults can also buy up to two extra children’s tickets at half price AND there are no booking fees!
Kids Week includes a wide variety of London musicals, plays, comedies and children’s shows and is a brilliant way to introduce your family or friends to theatre over the holidays.
This year’s participating shows will be announced on 2 June with tickets on sale from 9 June. To find out more, visit our Kids Week website and keep up to date by signing up to our newsletter.

The producers of Six today announced that its catchy showstopping songs have been streamed 100,000,000 times on Spotify and Apple Music.
Six is now second only to Hamilton as the most streamed Musical Theatre album in the world!
Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, who wrote the smash-hit British musical while still students at Cambridge University, said: “Our minds are completely blown at this incredible news! We are overjoyed that these 9 songs – our little babies – have become so popular. With six productions of ‘SIX’ playing simultaneously around the world, and Anne Boleyn’s song ‘Don’t Lose Ur Head’ shared over half a billion times on Tik Tok – well, we’re just feeling kinda overwhelmed and incredibly grateful!”
Having been nominated for five Olivier’s at the Olivier Awards 2019 – including Best New Musical and Best Actress In A Supporting Role In A Musical (for the Six Queens) – the musical phenomenon is showing no signs of stopping as its already previewing on Broadway to sold-out shows this month.

The Almeida Theatre announced today that Anne-Marie Duff will play the lead role of Constance in the forthcoming World Premiere of Beth Steel’s The House Of Shades.
Directed by Blanche McIntyre, the new play spans five decades of the lives, and deaths of the Webster family. Inside their home, set against the ever-changing industrial landscape of working-class Britain, some chase dreams of a brighter future and others are haunted by the nightmares of the past.
Leading the cast will be Olivier and BAFTA award-nominated actor Anne-Marie Duff (Sweet Charity, Sex Education) who returns to the Almeida Theatre to play the Webster family matriarch.
With the Most Promising Playwright at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards under her belt, we are sure Beth Steel’s The House Of Shades is one to add to the watch list! Visit Almeida Theatre’s website for more details!
