Kids Week: Dark Of The Moon

During the Official London Theatre’s Kids Week 2026 promotion, kids go free to Dark Of The Moon on select performances running from 21 July to 8 August.

Dark Of The Moon is a supernatural tale of powerful witchcraft, small-town prejudices and the power of love. This timeless, spellbinding new musical portrays the clash of two dynamically polarized worlds – a charming rural Appalachian town and the mystical world of witches and warlocks from the Smoky Mountains that loom high above. The show’s unique musical score reflects those conflicting worlds using a thrilling blend of country/bluegrass and rock. Barbara Allen – a human girl and John – a curious witch-boy – find each other and defy their communities to build a life together. 

But will love conquer all – or will they be haunted by a deal that was made by the dark of the moon?
