London Theatre Shows in October 2025

New openings in October 2025 are yet to be announced, but we recommend putting a date in your diary for some of the West End’s spookiest shows. Book tickets for Agatha Christie’s perfect whodunnit, The Mousetrap, which has kept audiences guessing for more than 70 years or get devilish with ice queen fashionista Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada musical. And for gothic horror fans, make sure to catch Morgan Lloyd Malcom's adaptation of Dracula at the Lyric Hammersmith before it closes.

Over half term, kids and grown ups alike can return to Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, discover the witches of Oz in Wicked or meet a little girl with extraordinary powers in Matilda. Dressing up is welcome so they can feel completely immersed in the magic.
