The presents are opened. The turkey has been devoured. The advent calendar is a distant memory. You can’t really remember what that big fight yesterday was about. It’s Boxing Day, baby, and that of course means sales.
London theatre basically loves any excuse for a sale, so it’s no surprise that it’s once again getting on the bandwagon with Boxing Day. A host of big hitting West End favourites are participating: there are discounts for tickets to see Wicked, MJ the Musical, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Hercules, The Devil Wears Prada, Matilda, My Neighbour Totoro, Oliver!, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and many more. It’s run by TodayTix, which Time Out is a aprtner to.
If you’re thinking shorter term, there’s still the opportunity to snap up discounts to the odd Christmas show like Cinderella at the Hackney Empire or The Nutcracker at St Martin’s Theatre.
And you can be tactical and get a nice price for a show yet to open: the likes of Summerfolk at the National Theatre, the West End adaptation of iconic Western High Noon and the Self Esteem starring Teeth ‘N’ Smiles are all included. Don’t delay – snap up a post-Christmas bargain today.
The London theatre Boxing Day sale runs now until Dec 28, after which it will become the New Year’s Theatre Sale until Jan 4 2026. Buy tickets here.
