Your last chance to see these West End shows
Your last chance to see Back To The Future, Into The Woods, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and more London theatre
Not to alarm you, but you’ve got a matter of weeks, if not days, to secure your seats for some of the West End’s best shows. From the multi-award-winning Back To The Future The Musical to Jordan Fein’s celebrated revival of Into The Woods, there are lots of big departures coming up, and you won’t want to be left wishing you’d seen them while you had the chance. Here are all the last chance opportunities you’ll want to take advantage of in the West End this month.
Back To The Future The Musical
Final performance 12 April at the Adelphi Theatre
The Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical is finally driving away after nearly five years at the Adelphi Theatre. There’s only a couple of weeks left to see the story of Marty McFly live onstage, and if you miss out, we promise you won’t be able to turn back the clock. Grab your tickets quickly.

Into The Woods
Final performance 18 April at the Bridge Theatre
Jordan Fein’s version of the Stephen Sondheim classic has received 11 nods from the Oliviers, and with good reason – the revival at the Bridge Theatre is a theatregoing experience of the highest calibre. With just a handful of performances left, tickets will be in high demand – make sure to get in and see this collision of fairytales before it’s gone. Read our review here.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
Final performance 18 April at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
Rachel Joyce’s life-affirming novel comes to glorious life in this new musical adaptation, starring Mark Addy. When Harold Fry receives a letter from an old friend, he sets out to post a reply – and keeps walking. His unexpected adventure is an ode to friendship, the great British countryside, and to human resilience. Read our review here.
I’m Sorry, Prime Minister
Final performance 25 April at the Apollo Theatre
The classic comedy presents its final chapter at the Apollo Theatre, with Jim Hacker (Griff Rhys Jones) facing off against cancel culture, and the charmingly devious Sir Humphrey Appleby (Clive Francis) stepping in to lend a hand. This truly British satire is both a nostalgic treat and a sharp take on the modern climate.
Marie & Rosetta
Final performance 3 May at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre
Heading off at the start of the month is the previously untold story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe and her singing partner Marie Knight – the women who invented rock ‘n’ roll. Rosetta is on a mission to change gospel music for good, and straight-laced Marie is along for the ride. But Rosetta’s swing is irresistible, and in her company Marie soon finds her worldview challenged and her relationship with music altered forever. Read our review here.
