London Theatre Shows in August 2025
Take a break from the warm weather in August with some of the hottest West End shows. The biggest contemporary plays and musicals from the last few years are still going strong including Hadestown and the sizzling Moulin Rouge! The Musical, which deliver glitz, glamour and fantastic music. There are children’s shows for all ages and interests in London this month as well, including The Smeds and The Smoos, The Lion King and Matilda the Musical - perfect for getting your kids interested in theatre over the holidays!
Finally, make sure you to catch these shows before they close - New Wave-inspired musical Sing Street at the Lyric Hammersmith and family-friendly musical 101 Dalmatians at the Eventim Apollo both have their final performances at the end of August, whilst at the National Theatre Nye starring Michael Sheen closes on the 16th.
