As Black Friday continues its relentless journey from niche American thing to annual pan-global inevitability, we can at least reap the rewards by more or less expecting with a monetary value to go on sale come late November.
And good news, theatre fans! There’s a big West End Black Friday sale on this month, running from November 8 to November 27.
On sale in a nifty mix of long-runners like ‘Book of Mormon’ and ‘Frozen’, more recent smashes like ‘Guys & Dolls’ at the Bridge and ‘The Little Big Things’ at @sohoplace, and upcoming Christmas stuff like Matthew Bourne’s ‘Edward Scissorhands’ ballet and immersive experiences ‘Humbug’ and ‘Velvet Pines’.
