London Theatre Shows in October 2025
Put a date in your diary for some of the West End’s spookiest shows in October 2025. Feeling brave? Book tickets for the spine-chillers Ghost Stories and The Woman in Black, both returning to London for limited runs this Halloween. Or, for a different type of thrill, get tickets for The Mousetrap, Agatha Christie’s perfect whodunnit, which has kept audiences guessing for more than 70 years. Plus, catch folk musical The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Olivier-winner Morgan Lloyd Malcom's female-focused adaptation of Dracula, before they both close this month.
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.
