Here are some ideas to get you started, but be sure to check out our dedicated Black Friday page where you will find all of our great deals and offers.
The Ferryman
Jez Butterworth's new play has undoubtedly been one of the biggest shows of the year. The play reunites the playwright with director Sam Mendes after their previous collaboration on the James Bond film Spectre, and tells the story of an Irish family during The Troubles of the 1980s.
The Ferryman opened at the Royal Court earlier this year, with a West End transfer announced by producer Sonia Friedman before previews had commenced. The show saw the stage debut of screen actor Paddy Considine, and it was welcomed by the critics with a flurry of five-star reviews. A new cast has since taken over at the Gielgud, but The Ferryman will continue to be one of the hottest tickets of the year.

Kinky Boots
Kinky Boots has been dazzling in the West End for two years now and is showing no sign of stopping. This fabulous musical is about Charlie Price, who inherits his father's shoe-making business in Northampton. After a night out, Charlie meets a drag queen, Lola, and realises there's a gap in the market for high-heeled shoes designed to hold a man's weight.
The musical has some of the catchiest songs in the West End, courtesy of pop legend Cyndi Lauper, and brilliant choreography from director Jerry Mitchell.

Ink
2017 has been James Graham's year. This summer he had two brand new plays open side-by-side in the West End. Ink had an initial run at the Almeida Theatre, and is about Rupert Murdoch and the birth of The Sun newspaper.
Starring Bertie Carvel (Doctor Foster) and Richard Coyle (Coupling), Ink was a hit with the press, and secured playwright Graham's status as one of Britain's most exciting writers.

The Book of Mormon
From the creators of cult classic cartoon South Park, The Book of Mormon has had West End audiences in stitches at the Prince of Wales Theatre since 2013. Matt Stone and Trey Parker's first and currently only musical is about two Mormon missionaries who travel to Uganda to share the teachings of the Church of Latter Day Saints.
It sounds relatively wholesome, but with Stone and Parker's trademark wit and humour, it has some of the crudest jokes and funniest songs in theatre. The show won the Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score, and will certainly provide one hell of a hilarious night out.
