Bringing the kids to London and want to introduce them to theatre. What shows are currently running that are engaging and appropriate for younger audiences?

Off the top of my head, I think kids will enjoy My Neighbour Totoro

Of course, the big classics like The Lion King and Matilda The Musical are always a hit. They’re visually stunning and have fantastic music that appeals to all ages. I’ve taken my nieces and nephews to both, and they really enjoyed it. Frozen is another one that’s very popular with the younger crowd, especially if they’re fans of the film.

Beyond the big West End productions, I always recommend looking into some of London’s dedicated children’s theatres. Places like the Unicorn Theatre near London Bridge, the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon, and the Little Angel Theatre in Islington (which specialises in puppetry!) consistently put on incredible, age-appropriate shows. They often have shorter run times and more relaxed atmospheres, which can be perfect for younger attention spans. I’ve seen some truly innovative and delightful productions at these venues over the years.
