Cirque du Soleil: Corteo Tickets

Black Friday: the ultimate test of patience, stamina, and sanity. You could be dragging the kids around a crowded shopping centre, praying that their iPads won’t run out of battery before you’ve checked off your shopping list. Or maybe you’re braving the chaotic online sales, only to realize you’ve accidentally bought a 6 inch Christmas tree, not the 6 foot one featured in ALL of the pictures. Either way, it’s enough to make anyone wish they could escape into a whole other world, one where all your responsibilities disappear and the only difficult shopping choice you have to make is whether you get the chocolate or strawberry ice cream during the interval. So, this Black Friday, skip the shopping stress and treat your family to one of these hilarious and magical shows instead!

Whether you want to join Peppa for her muddy adventures, or Marty McFly’s time-travelling escapades, these shows offer something for every member of the family. So instead of rushing for deals, make this Black Friday a drama-filled delight on London’s best stages!
