Find out which plays and musicals have performances on Sundays and Mondays so you can plan your theatre trip to London accordingly.

Traditionally, West End shows have taken place between Monday and Saturday, with one midweek matinee and another on Saturdays (a total of eight shows per week). However, it’s no longer quite so clear-cut, with numerous performances now taking place on Sundays instead of Mondays.

Several shows have matinees (for more information about matinee shows, read LondonTheatre.co.uk’s guide to matinees) or evening shows on Sundays (some even have both). It’s the perfect way to add an extra show if you’re in London for the weekend, or to enjoy Sunday lunch or other London-based activities beforehand. It’s also handy if you’re taking children to the theatre.

However, if you wish to start the working week with a show, there’s no shortage of performances on Mondays. Read our guide to shows on Sundays and Mondays – there’s plenty of flexibility so there’s bound to be something that sparks your interest regardless of your schedule.
