88 Five Star reviews and counting, OPERATION MINCEMEAT is currently the best-reviewed show in West End History.

EXCLUSIVE TO GROUP LINE!

Operation Mincemeat is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical and a 2025 Tony Award®-winning musical on Broadway. The year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and - of all people Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?

There’s magic in every moment in HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, the most awarded play in history and “one of the most defining pop culture events of the decade” (Forbes). And now, the 8th Harry Potter story is bringing the magic back to London’s West End. 19 years after Harry, Ron, and Hermione saved the wizarding world, they’re back on a most extraordinary new adventure – this time, joined by a brave new generation that has only just arrived at the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Prepare for spectacular spells, a mind-blowing race through time, and an epic battle to stop mysterious forces, all while the future hangs in the balance. This one-of-a-kind theatrical experience is packed with “thrilling theatricality and pulse-pounding storytelling” (The Hollywood Reporter). It will leave you “audibly wowed, cheering and gasping” (The Telegraph), as “visions of pure enchantment send shivers down your spine” (Rolling Stone). “It is out of this world, it’s magic, it’s a hit” (The Times).

This brand-new staging for The Bridge is helmed by director Jordan Fein and designer Tom Scutt, fresh from their production of Fiddler of the Roof which won three Olivier awards, including Best Musical Revival.

The musical, inspired by the animated film, based on the ancient myth. It’s what classical civilisation would have wanted. Ancient Greece. A time of gods, mortals… and Hercules, who isn’t quite either. But if he’s not a god, how can he possibly save the world from Hades? It’s one thing flexing those pecs, but going from zero to hero requires a different kind of strength. Get ready for a wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure and selfdiscovery. In tunics. Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah, and co-choreography by Tanisha Scott, DISNEY’S HERCULES delivers a thrilling night out at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane that leaves you ready to conquer anything.

Following a sold-out run at the Almeida Theatre, 1536 – the “effortlessly funny, bold and ballsy” (The Guardian) must-see new play storms into the West End’s Ambassadors Theatre. Smart. Scrappy. Savage. 1536 – the “electrifying” (The Standard) historical drama with a modern edge. Kings don’t kill their wives, right? Tudor England. A field in Essex. Three women meet in secret, hungry for gossip from London. Word spreads of a clash between King Henry VIII and his Queen, Anne Boleyn. And closer to home, another rumour begins to catch fire. As these women begin to see echoes of the royal drama in their own rural lives and a rise in violence spreads throughout the land, the actions of a queen imprisoned in a tower threaten to cost them everything. Written by Ava Pickett, winner of the 2024 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, and directed by Lyndsey Turner (Chimerica), this “razor-sharp, darkly comic and blisteringly relevant” (The Independent) hit explores the dynamics of female friendship in a world stacked against women. Don’t miss your chance to experience this “wonderfully vibrant, cracking debut” (The Guardian). Rates are subject to availability and change without notice, correct at time of print.

“MIGHTY MIZ IS STILL REVOLUTIONARY” DAILY MAIL

THE WORLD’S LONGEST RUNNING MUSICAL IS NOW CELEBRATING ITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY. Cameron Mackintosh’s brilliant new staging of Boublil and Schönberg’s LES MISÉRABLES has taken the world by storm and has been hailed “Les Mis for the 21st Century” (Huffington Post), and “perfect theatre in a perfect theatre” (Sunday Telegraph). Set amid the social and political struggles of 19th century France, West End favourite Les Misérables tells the story of former prisoner Jean Valjean, who is pursued for decades by his policeman nemesis, Javert. Their epic cat-and-mouse journey takes them from the French fields to the gritty Parisian sewers, amidst an enthralling story of broken dreams, unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption – a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the songs; ‘I Dreamed a Dream’, ‘On My Own’, ‘Bring Him Home’, ‘One Day More’, ‘Master Of The House’ and many more. Now, seen by over 150 million people worldwide in 55 countries and in 22 languages, this spectacular musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece continues to thrill audiences night after night in London’s West End. Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals. Storm the barricades for a ticket! Rates are subject to availability and change without notice, correct at time of print.

He’s dead trouble, but if you really want to feel alive, just say his name three times… With a gleefully irreverent book, head-spinning set design and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is a “feast for the eyes and soul” (Entertainment Weekly). Outrageous, but with a big (cold) heart, this is “screamingly good fun!” (Variety) that’ll make you want to live - and make the most of every Day-O!

BE IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS HAMILTON is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the very foundations of the America we know today. The score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway - the story of America then, as told by America now. Winner of 11 Tony Awards including Best Musical, 7 Olivier Awards, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Did you know… 20,520 words are sung throughout the show, at an average of 144 words per minute, and if Hamilton were sung at the pace of other musicals, it would take four to six hours to perform. The rap in the show’s 18th track Guns and Ships is considered to be the fastest song in musical theatre, with an average of 6.3 words a second. 890km... is the distance the show’s two revolves (known as a donut!) have travelled over the course of 1500+ shows so far at the Victoria Palace Theatre. This is the same distance as driving from London to Munich. Rates are subject to availability and change without notice, correct at time of print. Terms & conditions and exclusions apply.
