The Play That Goes Wrong, Duchess Theatre: another show that is still making audiences chuckle is Mischief Theatre’s original production involving a hapless amateur dramatics company whose own play doesn’t quite go according to plan…

The Book of Mormon, Prince of Wales Theatre: for those who loved the sense of humour of South Park will love South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s musical that follows a pair of Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far away a from Salt Lake City as you can get.

The Mousetrap, St Martin’s Theatre: this longest running play in the world by Agatha Christie still has audiences hooked – but if you do go make sure you don’t spoil the ending for other future audiences!

Man of La Mancha, London Coliseum: for musical theatre fans who are looking for something they have never seen before might want to catch this rare revival of Man of La Mancha inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’s masterpiece novel Don Quixote.
