At best-tickets.co.uk, you can discover an extensive list of musicals to find the best one for you and compare prices from a range of ticket providers. Here is a short list of 4 top musicals for children:
An extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers: Roald Dahl’s Matilda has captured the hearts of children around the world. What could be more inspiring for your children than to see her work her magic on stage? Winner of 90 international awards, the Royal Shakespeare’s Company’s production of Matilda the Musical will undoubtedly put a smile on your children’s faces. Currently showing at the Cambridge Theatre, it is advised to bring children over 6 to this musical and under 3s will not be admitted.
Whether you have seen the iconic Disney cartoon or read about our favourite spotted friends in Dodie Smith’s children’s novel, the captivating tale of 101 Dalmatians has been enthralling children since the 1950s. If you are planning a trip to London in the summer months, then 101 Dalmatians the musical could be the perfect summer day out, as it is showing at the breathtaking setting of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre from the 16th Mary – 21st June. Featuring impressive puppetry, catchy songs and of course the compelling story-line following the dogs which get their puppies back from the treacherous Cruella de Ville, 101 Dalmatians will be a delightful theatrical experience which is suitable for children over 4.
A timeless classic which is not only a successful children’s novel, but has been transformed into a much-loved Disney film, Mary Poppins the Musical brings the heart-warming story of a magical nanny to life in an all-singing, all-dancing musical production. Having spread its magic all over the world, the multi-award-winning production is now showing regularly at the Prince Edward Theatre. However, please be aware that the recommended age for this production is 7+ and children under 3 will not be admitted to the theatre.
As one of the most explosive musicals of time, Wicked is a must and especially for any avid fans of the beloved Wizard of Oz. Telling the untold story of how the Wicked Witch of the West became so evil, Wicked is daring, inventive and bewitching. Winner of over 100 international awards and taking the title as the 9th longest-running musical at the West End, Wicked has made its West End home at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. Due to the slightly frightening and upsetting content, Wicked is recommended for ages 7+.
