WEST SIDE STORY MATINEE CLUB – BLACK FRIDAY TICKET OFFER

Wednesday 19 January 2028 at 12:45
National Theatre, London

About this event

The iconic Broadway musical comes to London

A heady summer in New York. Two rival gangs, the Jets and the newly arrived Sharks, are locked in a fight for territory.

Caught in the crossfire, Tony and Maria are young, in love, and running out of time. As tensions rise in their neighbourhood, can their bond bridge the divide?

The timeless musical returns to the stage in this bold, breath-taking new production, directed by Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell, with Jerome Robbins’ iconic original choreography.

Can’t make the Matinee?  We have an All Together night on sale too!

Frequently asked questions

Premium Member events are exclusive outings only available to members on a paid plan (Single, Joint, or Family). These tend to be smaller, more special occasions – the kind of thing that doesn’t get advertised widely and sells out quickly. They’re one of the main reasons to upgrade from Basic.

All memberships are paid – Standard starts at £25/year. The difference is in what you get beyond platform access.

Standard membership lets you browse and book events at the standard WEO price, which is already below standard box office rates. That’s the baseline for everyone.

Premium Single (£45/year), Premium Joint (£70/year), and Premium Group (£90/year) memberships give you a further discount on top of that on selected events throughout the year for a number of tickets (subject to the plan selected) and applied automatically at checkout. They also give you access to Premium Members events – exclusive outings not available on the Basic tier.

If you’re planning to attend more than one or two events a year, the jump from Standard to Premium Single is £20 – and the additional discount per event will typically cover that inside your first booking.

Yes. You can upgrade from Standard to Premium Single, Premium Joint, or Premium Group at any time. Your renewal date stays the same – you just move onto the new tier and start benefiting from member discounts straight away.

Anyone who loves theatre and wants more out of a night at the shows than just a seat. Whether you’re new to London, travelling to the area and  want to meet like-minded people, or simply find it easier to go when someone else has done the legwork, West End Outings is built around you.

We run separate event streams for different communities: our LGBTQ+ events have been running since we launched in 2022, and we’ve since added Women Only events, All Together events (open to everyone), a Matinee Club for afternoon shows, and premium exclusive experiences as well as trips to regional productions. You don’t have to come with anyone – a lot of our members come alone and make new friends during the first event.
