You may be among the first few audiences to see a new world famous musical hit.
Don't let these extraordinary Off-West End shows slip through your fingers. Explore the vibrant landscape of the London Fringe and witness the birthplace of theatrical brilliance.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Off-West End and West End?
Generally, major commercial venues with hundreds of seats or more, located in the West End neighbourhood, are considered West End theatres. Theatres located outside that neighbourhood, plus small theatres located within the neighbourhood, are generally considered Off-West End. However, there is no universal distinction, so some exceptions apply.
What are the most popular Off-West End shows?
Off-West End shows often play for limited runs on a rotating basis, unlike West End shows, which sometimes stick around for years. Thus, a West End show that's popular right now might be closed by tomorrow! But there are multiple famous Off-West End theatres — like the National Theatre and Almeida Theatre — that always have buzzy new shows premiering, which sometimes transfer to the West End for an extended run if they're successful.
