Audio Described Shows

I find audio description and touch tours extremely useful, because it ensures I’m fully immersed in the experience and don’t miss anything. Lots of audio described shows in the UK are listed on the VocalEyes website, while Official London Theatre has lists of audio described, captioned, signed and relaxed performances in the city. Some theatres and shows also have dedicated accessibility pages on their websites.

The shows below were audio described by VocalEyes or the theatre, or were occasionally integrated into the production by the cast themselves. Most of them included a touch tour before the performance as well.
