Wednesday Matinee Shows in London

As afternoon performances take place in the middle of the day, Wednesday matinees are typically shows that are designed to play for large, varied audiences. They’re also a great way to catch up on the must-see London shows that may have less evening availability. Some of the West End’s longest-running shows take place on a Wednesday afternoon, including Les Miserables and The Lion King, as well as Broadway hits such as Wicked and The Book of Mormon

With afternoon performance schedules, they’re ideal for tourists who want to fit many London shows into their schedules. They’re also great for locals too who may have a free day and want to spend it at the theatre ticking off a show that’s always been on their wishlist.
