Do theatre tickets get discounted nearer the date?

Looking for this weekend and a popular show and all selling at really top whack but from seeing the seats available across different selling sites I’m getting the impression that the whole theatre is unbooked at present! When do they start to go down in price as they surely won’t run a big west end show empty? Is it worth risking getting on the day and if so where from?
