Valentines Ideas – What West End Shows to Woo to!
Valentines Day Breaks: What to Do in 2025
“Valentines Day” – to the romantically challenged, these are probably two of the most scariest words you’ll hear this winter.
You are told – oh anything will do! But beware: apparently a kettle with a rose in it does not count (even if the old one is broken).
But of course a trip to the theatre in London might just be the perfect solution?
Valentine’s Day is on a Friday in 2025 so you can either pop into London for the evening or push the boat out and make a weekend of it! A romantic weekend break to London is so special!
But beware: if you are reading this on Thursday 13th, there may not be time to book a weekend Valentine’s Day as everyone will have had the same idea as you: just a few weeks earlier!
Here are five shows that really are worth planning ahead for.
What to see in London for your Valentine’s Day Break?
Well a night out at the theatre is a lovely thing to do anyway, so it doesn’t really matter what you see. But if you need some steering in the right direction, West End shows to see in 2025 Valentine’s Day may start with one of the following shows.
Moulin Rouge
Paris really does feature heavily in the West End at the moment. And what better place to host some of the most romantic musicals ever, than the city of Love, for Valentine’s Day!
Moulin Rouge – the musical based on Baz Luhrmann’s hit movie is a great choice – it literally tells us that, “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love and be loved in return” Set in the famous Montmartre area of Paris, it tells the story of a struggling writer who falls in love with the leading lady of the infamous Moulin Rouge.
More great shows for a London Valentine Break
Phantom of the Opera. Beautiful music, lots of romance – the most famous night out at the theatre – EVER!
Les Miserables – As students try to kick start a revolution, one man’s battle to protect his family and those they love brings us a slice of 19th century Paris that has wowed West Audiences for almost 40 years!
Mamma Mia! Lots of fun. The old ABBA hit factory churns out the songs as Sophie looks for her real dad on the eve of her idyllic Greek island wedding.
Hadestown – Staying in Greece, the ancient tale of two young lovers is brought to life by a very modern musical. Orpheus and Eurydice are struggling through a desolate winter, when Eurydice is given an offer she cannot refuse from Hades – the king of the underworld. This offer lands her trapped and Orpheus must travel down below to bring her home with only his music to save him.
Romantic London
But what ever you choose to see this Valentine, a theatre break is a superbly romantic occasion in what is a wonderfully romantic city.
I hope you both have a great night!
