Open Run

She's the nanny we all wanted in the '90s and now she's back to give the 21st century a spin in this brand-new musical adaptation of the beloved 1993 classic. Direct from Broadway, with a stop for previews in Manchester, this glorious production captures the film's original fun and chaos - with added theatrical pizazz. Expect hijinks, hoover dancing, and heart a-plenty as the hilarious story unfolds at the Shaftesbury Theatre!

Just For One Day

May 15, 2025 - January 10, 2026

The enduring appeal of Live Aid will be tapped once more as this new Olivier-nominated jukebox musical, transferring to the Shaftesbury Theatre after a sell out run at the Old Vic. Just For One Day gives audiences a look behind the scenes of the auspicious event and features a soundtrack by Olivier-nominated Matt Brind that covers the day's biggest artists, including Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, U2, The Boomtown Rats, Diana Ross and many, many more. Written by John O'Farrel (Mrs Doutfire) and directed by Luke Sheppard (&Juliet) Just For One Day also contributes to the Band Aid Trust's mission, with 10% of every ticket sale going to their ongoing charitable work, both globally and here at home.

Located on Shaftesbury Avenue in the heart of the West End, the Shaftesbury Theatre is the youngest theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue. Bertie Crewe designed the theatre for brothers Walter and Frederick Melville. Since 1984, the Theatre of Comedy Company has owned the venue. In 2006 the theatre underwent a large-scale refurbishment on the interior of the auditorium, and it has hosted several revivals of musicals since its re-opening.
