Matilda the musical
Charlie and the chocolate Factory
The lion king
If you are anywhere near Wimbledon the Polka Theatre does lovely shows for children.The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.0 -
Cannot recommend the Lion King enough. Especially if they're familiar with the story?0

We recently saw Horrible Histories Barmy Britain.
It was brilliant!just in case you need to know:

There's a theatre version of Aliens Love Underpants doing a tour and will be in the west end over the summer holidays - I really enjoyed it! http://underpantslive.com/0

Another vote for horrible histories, not to mention horrible science! We've taken our girls to three or four and they loved it.0

I'm not sure where you meant.
Unless there is a very special reason, I wouldn't go spending West End prices.
Just look at your local theatres and other community groups for children's shows. There are a number of touring companies who specialise in children's theatre and do shows at small venues, local theatres & arts centres etc.
Near us, all of the country parks have a good value outdoor show of some kind every summer, aimed at children.
They are usually small & friendly, I began taking my children to these sorts of shows over 30 years ago, and it was a great experience.
I just saw an advert for a show near us over half-term: £10 for 1 adult + 1 child gets you a craft workshop followed by a show, aimed at ages 5-10.0 -

I loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's one of the best put together shows I've ever seen.:A
