London Theatre Shows in April 2025

The Olivier Awards - one of the biggest events in the theatrical calendar - are usually held in April, and the winners will be some of the hottest shows in town. Some of the most popular winners and nominees of recent years include Hadestown, and Stranger Things: The First Shadow. The Easter Holidays also dominate the first half of April, and families can make the most of their time off together with a trip to see long-running shows like Matilda and Wicked.
