London Theatre Shows in July 2025
There are heaps of children’s shows in London in July for the summer holidays, including The Lion King, The Smeds and The Smoos and 101 Dalmatians. New shows opening in July include the West End Transfer of smash-hit play Till the Stars Come Down and sizzling new musical Burlesque, based on the Christina Aguilera movie. Don’t miss these stars on stage - Michael Sheen returns to the National Theatre in Nye, and Good Night Oscar starring Will and Grace’s Sean Hayes opens at the Barbican, while My Master Builder starring Ewan McGregor and The Fifth Step with Martin Freeman both close this month.
July is also great for soaking up the sun at London’s best outdoor theatres. Book teen-friendly drama Noughts and Crosses at Regent’s Park, or get Shakespearean with standing tickets to family show Rough Magic at the Globe.
