Real Londoners know the city's best nights out aren't always found at the West End's typical haunts; they're at the Almeida on a Tuesday, at a sold-out fringe transfer that blew up before most people caught on, or at a cult hit Broadway transfer. Ditch the tourist map, you're one of the locals now.

1536

Ava Pickett's five-star debut is the kind of sharp, funny, quietly devastating theatre that Londoners have been talking about since it sold out at the Almeida. It's just about to arrive in the West End, get there before everyone else does.

Oh, Mary!

Cole Escola's gloriously unhinged 80-minute comedy is one of the most talked-about shows to cross the Atlantic in years: anarchic, outrageous, and unlike anything else in the West End right now. Bring a friend. Don't bring anyone easily offended.

The Royal Court couldn't hold it. Now Kimberly Belflower's razor-sharp, ★★★★★ hit transfers to the West End — five young women, one small town, and a score that hits like a gut punch. Directed by Danya Taymor, the talk of Broadway's The Outsiders. The hype, for once, is real.

My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?)

Joyous, funny, and genuinely moving, Rob Madge's autobiographical hit is back for the final time. This one-person show about a kid who staged Disney parades at home is the kind of theatre you'll be gutted you missed. Don't be that person.

Heathers the Musical

Back in London this summer for 52 performances only, this cult favourite has become a rite of passage for many. Sharp, savage, and packed with earworms, Heathers is exactly the kind of show real theatre fans have on their radar. Don't miss it. Again.

Hot Mess: A New Musical

The Edinburgh Fringe smash that London's been waiting for. A two-hander about Earth and Humanity's catastrophically doomed love affair that reimagines climate crisis as rom-com, with original pop bangers to match. Multi award-winning, wildly funny, and running at The Other Palace for a strictly limited summer season.
