Opening on Aug 20, 2025
A major new production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is casting its spell at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre! Step through the wardrobe into the magical land of Narnia, where Edmund, Lucy, Peter, and Susan trade wartime Britain for talking animals, a noble Lion, and the sinister White Witch, whose Turkish delight packs a perilous punch. Adapted from C.S. Lewis’s beloved novel that inspired the 2005 film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe—a $745M global sensation and Disney’s fifth-largest opening at the time—this production reimagines the magic and adventure of the story that captivated millions. Don’t miss this epic tale brought vividly to life on stage!
During a game of hide-and-seek, four siblings stumble upon a wardrobe that leads to the enchanting world of Narnia—a land trapped in an endless winter under the rule of the icy White Witch. As they explore, they meet talking creatures, uncover ancient prophecies, and find themselves at the center of a brewing rebellion. With the noble lion Aslan poised to return and the White Witch’s grip beginning to falter, the Pevensies must navigate betrayal, courage, and an epic battle between good and evil. But as the forces of Narnia collide, a fateful decision changes everything. Will they rise as heroes or succumb to the Witch’s icy grip?

Really great experience especially for my grandchildren. A little frustrating to pay full price for the tickets only to reactive an email later on with a 25% discount available.
I'd recommend Headout for ease of buying tickets. I didn't compare ticket prices with other vendors, so I wouldn't know whether there were any other cheaper ways to book, but this was definitely easy
The show is marvellous! The cast are amazing, they played their roles so well even to the tiniest details of their expressions. They got me when Aslan sacrificed himself in lieu of Edmund, it got me teary-eyed then. My younger girl teased me though 😜 I really enjoyed it and my girls too even though they haven't watch the movie yet (I thought they have). Worth the travel!
First time in the West End to see a show and I was not disappointed. This well-known children's classic opened with 'We'll meet again' and finished with a thunderous ovation from the audience. In between it was a visual masterpiece - from the White Witch vanishing to the dancing Turkish delight. The cast were very good, and Lucy stood out as an absolute star. Well worth a look. * * * * *
Not been to a Theatre show since my teens. Now in my 50's I was overwhelmed with the show and its theatricals, acting and special effects and the simplicity of the theme on Witch Lion and Wardrobe. The cast was over talented and amazing. It was emotional to its wow factor in a good way, could not stop smiling and laughing. My son loved it and I highly recommend it. Good news with this show in the Gillians theatre does not matter were you will sit and you will have a great time so no need to pay extra for closer stage seats. Theatre is so much better than cinema and I will book another show soon.
The cost of the tickets starts from £35 and will vary depending on the type of seats you choose.
The show does not have a strict age limit.
