Booking Tips

Easter is the single biggest booking pressure point in spring. If your dates overlap the school holiday fortnight, book at least two to three weeks ahead for any popular musical. Outside Easter week, April midweek performances are excellent value. Check for new openings — producers often launch spring shows to catch the holiday footfall.
