Karate Kid The Musical at New Wimbledon Theatre (TICKETS ONLY)
Our friends at New Wimbledon Theatre invite you to an unforgettable theatrical experience, as this heartfelt coming-of-age story comes to life with spectacular musical numbers and inventive choreography.
The Karate Kid – The Musical brings the legendary 1984 film to the stage, reimagining Daniel LaRusso’s journey through movement, music, and energetic storytelling. At its heart is the powerful bond between Daniel and Mr Miyagi, who teaches that karate isn’t about fighting, but about balance, dignity, and respect.
With a Tony Award-winning design team, the production transforms iconic cinematic moments into an emotionally engaging stage experience, celebrating resilience, mentorship, and the quiet strength that bridges generations.
Important information
This is an offer for FREE TICKETS ONLY, so you will need to confirm that you are able to travel to and from the theatre independently.
Ages: Most suitable for ages 8+
Running Time: Approx. 2 hours 30 minutes (including interval). Please arrive from 7:00pm to be seated by 7:30pm. Latecomers may not be admitted.
Parent/Carer Guidance
This is a fun, family-friendly show with positive themes around confidence, friendship and resilience.

Event Details
Meet Toto. She might look like an ordinary cat, but she’s no ordinary feline. Almost completely blind, Toto has incredible ninja skills, a big heart, and a nose for adventure. By day, she naps like any other pet… but by night, she’s out on daring missions with her cheeky brother, Silver.
In their very first adventure, a deadly King Cobra has escaped onto the streets of London, and it’s up to Toto to use every ounce of her courage and cunning to save the day.
Based on Dermot O’Leary’s best-selling children’s book, illustrated by Nick East, this purr-fectly thrilling tale is filled with original music, laugh-out-loud fun, and extraordinary puppetry, promising fun for the whole family.
