Whatsonstage.com Outings – Enhancing Your Theatregoing

Our Outings have become a Whatsonstage.com institution. Over the years, we’ve increased from one to sometimes three events a month, while group sizes have mushroomed to as many as 300 per event in order to meet demand. Why are the Outings so popular? Well, we have lots of ideas about community but the simple answer is: because you get access to great shows at great prices with lots of extras. If you’re so inclined, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to mix and mingle with other theatregoers and Whatsonstage.com staff and to meet cast and creatives of the shows we attend at our exclusive post-performance Q&As and receptions. However you approach them, Outings are an excellent way of enhancing your theatregoing experience. Our new Outings blog gives you a sneak peek at highlights from recent events.
