London Theatre Shows in September 2025
September is back-to-school month, and visitors to London can enjoy some fantastic West End shows with fewer crowds. Long-running audience favourites including Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera are available to book now, so you can experience the most iconic musicals in the capital. New shows opening in September include a female-focused reimagining of Dracula at Lyric Hammersmith, written by Olivier Award winner Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (Emilia). It's well worth the trip out to Hammersmith to see, but we expect the arrival of big new musicals and plays - often with big names attached - in central London as well.
Keep an eye on listings so you can plan early for the next year of theatre. And don't miss out on the Coliseum's big summer musical The Great Gatsby, as it closes on the 7th.
