Six Degrees of West End Stages: Connecting all the shows in London Theatre Week
Book tickets and discover niche theatre connections with our Six Degrees of West End Stages series, celebrating incredible offers during London Theatre Week.

How does a play like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child connect with Sondheim's musical Into The Woods? Can you form a link between One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Teeth 'n' Smiles?
There is a huge variety of plays, musicals, opera and dance in London Theatre Week, but in a world as small as the West End, you can always find a connection between shows — whether it be creative team or casting overlap, or a shared anniversary.
Find out how we have managed to connect every show in the campaign, by following along with our Six Degrees of West End Stages series, in which we reveal two new connections each weekday through 8 March. Can you spot any connections we might have missed?
