Buffy star launches West End ticket offer

US TV star Alyson Hannigan today launched a major cut-price ticket deal aimed at boosting the number of UK theatregoers.

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer actress, who played Willow in the hit show, was joined by comedian Lee Evans at the third annual Get Into London Theatre! Promotion, where tickets can be snapped up for between £10 (€14) and £25 (€36).

Tickets to more than 70 West End shows, including Bombay Dreams and Chicago, are being cut from today until March 28. There are also special deals for hotel stays and restaurant meals.

Hannigan, star of When Harry Met Sally which opens at the Haymarket Theatre on February 20, said: “This is one of the things that I thought I would always want to do.

“The theatres here are beautiful. I feel like I’m in a masterpiece just standing on that stage (the Haymarket) – it is just beyond words.”

Evans, who is joining the cast of Endgame, which opens on March 10, said: “The West End to me is just the melting pot of so much stuff that goes on. It always amazes me that it does not get more attention. It should be modernised and pushed forward more.”
