THERE’S just a few weeks left where you can get FREE kids tickets for some of the UK’s top shows.
London Theatre’s Kids Week is running until August 31 where kids can go for free – ideal for school summer holiday fun.
Any child aged 17 or under will go free to the theatre when accompanied by an adult who pays for a full- price ticket and two additional children can then also attend for half price.
In total, there are 54 shows participating in Kids Week and here are some of the top offers remaining before the promotion ends:
Wicked
Wicked has been around in the West End for a while, but thanks to the recent Hollywood blockbuster adaptations, there is no better time to go and see Wicked on stage than now.
You can expect amazing visuals, memorable and heartfelt songs and a storyline that is great for both kids and adults.

Travel Reporter Cyann Fielding said: “Wicked was the very first West End show I ever watched, and it did not disappoint.
“Not knowing what to expect from a West End show, Wicked blew me away.
“It has breathtaking sets, detailed costumes, emotional and inspiring songs and dramatic effects that will leave your mind blown.
“To date, it is still one of the best West End shows I’ve seen.”
Adult + child ticket costs from £46
The Tiger Who Came to Tea
Little kids will love The Tiger Who Came to Tea, adapted from the popular book of the same name.
You can expect songs and audience interaction throughout the show.
Adult + child ticket costs from £17.46
Six
Based on the six wives of Henry VIII but with a modern twist, Six The Musical is ideal if you love catchy songs.
The musical transforms the 500-year-old rhyme ‘divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived’ into a competition about which of the wives deserves to be the group’s lead singer.
Adult + child ticket costs from £54.50
Matilda
Matilda is a great family option that will be loved by both kids and adults alike, with a powerful storyline about imagination andcourageg, and remains one of the capital’s most popular family shows for a reason.
Travel reporter Cyann Fielding, who recently saw the show, said: “I have to admit – while I loved Roald Dahl growing up, Matilda was not my favourite story of his.
“But any excuse to see one of his stories on stage, and I’ll be there.
“And now I take everything back – the stage show is better than the film and does the book justice, with an amazing stage set and catchy songs that will get your hips moving in your seat.
“The fact that most of the performers in this show are children just make it all the more impressive.
“Definitely will be loved by both parents and children alike.”
Adult + child ticket costs from £52.50
The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games: On Stage is one of the newer theatrical productions on this list.
The immersive show brings Suzanne Collins’ dystopian world to life, and you can expect special effects as well as aerial stunts.
Adult + child ticket costs from £36.88
Disney’s Hercules
You’ve not got long left to watch Hercules, as the West End production will end at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on September 5.
Travel Reporter Alice Penwill said: “Zero to Hero, Go the Distance, I Won’t Say I’m in Love – I was hit with a wave of nostalgia when I went to see Hercules at Royal Drury Lane.
“The production of the Disney film has everything you want from a musical, fabulous dance routines, comedy, tragedy and a bit of cheese too.
“The highlight has to be The Muses, a group of five goddesses, and they have the voices of them too.
“Their incredible outfits dazzled with every number – and each time they took to the stage, they were met with rapturous applause.
“I’d go back purely to see them sing A Star is Born.”
Adult + child ticket costs from £41.66
Beetlejuice The Musical
Debuting earlier this year, Beetlejuice The Musical combines comedy with the storyline of Tim Burton‘s 1988 film.
You can expect a load of dark humour, neon sets and vibrant costumes.
