If you've never experienced watching a play or musical at an outdoor auditorium before, now's the time to consider doing just that. London's iconic 1200-seat cultural amphitheatre based in Regent's Park is a great place to start - every year, the award-winning venue presents a range of classic works ranging from the serious to the light-hearted, the traditional and the contemporary, with next year being no exception.

From May to September 2013, Regent's Park's Open Air Theatre will be presenting four literary classics, as well as one of the most iconic musicals of our time. All shows cost from £25 to £55, unless stated otherwise and all are on sale now.

Please note that the first handful of performances for each show may be offered at 'Preview' prices with cheaper top-price seats (available to book until 30th April 2013).
