Audio Described Shows

This is a list of shows I’ve seen with audio description (AD), and often with touch tours too. These enhancements ensure that I’m fully immersed in the experience and don’t miss anything, and have therefore enabled me to attend many productions that I wouldn’t have otherwise. The shows were described by VocalEyes or the venue’s own staff, or the AD was integrated into the production by the cast themselves. You can find out about upcoming AD shows on the VocalEyes website and Official London Theatre’s Access page. Many venues and productions also have access pages on their own websites.
