Most West End shows in London have matinee performances on at least one weekday, so if you want to have a concert experience at Tina: The Tina Turner Musical or spend a magical afternoon at the theatre at The Lion King, you can do it at a weekday matinee. West End matinees typically begin around 2 or 2:30 p.m., and most shows run anywhere from 90 minutes to three hours.
