ShowsAndStay is an independent guide to theatre trips in London’s West End Shows and on New York’s Broadway. We bring together the things you usually have to piece together from several sites: which seats are worth paying for, how to get to the theatre, and where to stay nearby.

Our theatre guides cover the seating layout, the nearest station and what to expect on the night. Our hotel guide focus on places within walking distance, so you’re not rushing across the city after the curtain falls. Start with our West End shows or Broadway shows, then check hotels near your theatre.

Tickets linked on this site come from third-party marketplaces and may cost more or less than face value, so compare with the box office before you buy. Some links are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our affiliate disclosure for details.

Planning a theatre trip comes down to three choices: which show to see, where to sit and where to stay. For each show and theatre we cover the practical details, and our hotel guides focus on stays within walking distance, so the journey back after the curtain is short.
