Here’s all the latest information on running times for West End shows.
You’ve booked your theatre tickets, and you’re looking forward to seeing a show at the theatre. However, planning a theatre trip isn’t just about the performance — you’ll also need to plan how to get to the theatre and post-show travel. So before seeing a show, it’s a good idea to know the running time of a production. On average, the majority of West End shows typically have a performance running time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, with many evening shows beginning at 7:30pm. This means that the show will end by 10:00pm, and you can head home after an entertaining performance. However, some shows may last just 90 minutes, and others can be longer than three hours.
We’ve listed the running times of all West End shows with confirmed durations in order from shows with the shortest running time to the longest-running performance times. Check this list for the latest information on West End theatre running times.
