Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose.
It was a real problem
If he ever went to shows.

He was a fan of theatre
And wanted to know what to see.
So he looked at the handy
List right here on OLT.

Yes, here at Official London Theatre we have noticed that there are festive lights twinkling in the streets, that tinsel is being prepared to wrap around anything that stands still for too long and that the urge to much on mince pies has rocketed. All of this must mean that Christmas is on the way and that it is bringing with it a whole host of seasonal shows for all the family.

To help you find exactly the Yuletide treat to fit the bill, we have collected all of our Christmas shows together in one list for you, the OLT users. We feel a little like Santa’s elves spreading some Christmas cheer. We have even broken the shows down into categories for you. All you have to do is choose what you want to see. Merry Christmas from all at Official London Theatre!
