An inclusive and welcoming experience for those with learning difficulties, special educational needs and/or disabilities
On Saturday 7 June 2025 we’ll be hosting, in partnership with Kevin McCollum, David Furnish, Jamie Wilson and Nederlander Theatres, the first ever Relaxed Performance of The Devil Wears Prada!
Through this collaboration, we’ll deliver a welcoming experience for children, young people and families with additional needs, neurodiversity and/or disabilities.
Many of those we work with are from disadvantaged and/or vulnerable backgrounds so a trip to the theatre might be out of reach, whether due to economic, physical or social barriers.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of The Garek Trust, tickets are available at significantly subsidised prices making this performance accessible and inclusive.
As with all Go Live Relaxed Performances, they are carefully adapted to support neurodivergent audience members, including those on the autism spectrum and individuals with sensory or communication needs.
It provides a more laidback theatre experience for anyone who would benefit from this atmosphere, with adjustments such as reducing sound levels and special effects, keeping a low level of light on throughout and supporting noise and movement within the auditorium. Plus, specially trained front-of-house staff will be on hand throughout the afternoon to help anyone who requires assistance.

We presented the very first relaxed performance of a West End show back in 2012 with Shrek the Musical and since then have been able to offer a multitude of shows including Sister Act, Wicked, Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker!, 101 Dalmatians, The Play That Goes Wrong, and Mamma Mia!
