Keep The Youn
We know that you’re up against it during the half-term period to keep your child happy and occupied. In London, you’re spoilt for choice but theatre performances are perhaps the best option to educate and enthrall them.
Whether it’s a brand new storyline or a modernisation of an older production, you’re in for a treat across numerous London theatres. Here we list a selection of plays that might interest you and your kids for the most enjoyable half-term break.
Frozen
At the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, captivate yourselves with this modern classic. Elsa has already become a Disney princess known the world over and it’s easy to see why. Enchant yourselves with mystical fun and adventure to complement the musical score you can’t help but sing along to. Explore our website for tickets here.
Six: The Musical
Have you ever wanted to incorporate excitement with informative education? Six The Musical tells the tale of the most notorious monarch from these shores: Henry VIII, but not as you’ve probably heard before. This is from the point of view of the wives, a fresh take on a story we all know too well.
Dear England
Do you have young football fans in the family who aspire to be part of the next generation of football talent within England? Dear England is a poetic ode to the men’s national team under current manager Gareth Southgate, including the transformation of culture and a more inclusive environment almost resulting in a trophy.
Matilda The Musical
When a talented young mind discovers she has extraordinary skills, chaos and adventure ensue. Roald Dahl’s classic story has spanned generations, exemplifying its timelessness. Take your young ones to the Cambridge Theatre and introduce them to a tale that has been enjoyed by so many before them.
Mrs Doubtfire
Mention this title to anybody over the age of 35 and they’ll no doubt hark back to Robin Williams’ acting role. Yet another show that has been remade for even more people to enjoy, bringing such a fun story back to life on stage for others to enjoy is a wonderful thing. Do you know someone who’d love to take their children to see this? Purchase Theatre Tokens for them here.
The Little Big Things
A tear-jerking tale of strength of character, inclusivity, and perspective as a budding rugby player’s dreams are taken away from him due to an accident. Despite this, he learns so much about himself and those around him as the play centres around dealing with negative instances and enjoying life no matter what.
These are some of our favourite selections from the huge number of child-friendly performances in the West End. See the entire range of shows for yourself.
