Title: London Theatre
Post by: CusworthRovers on July 18, 2010, 09:17:56 am

I appreciate this has been done before, but looking at a cheeky midweek break in August.

Last year we saw the excellent Lion King production. This year we are open to offers. At the moment we are veering towards Oliver.

Any suggestions (we will be a crew of adults and kids)

Somebody mentioned about a 2 in 1 deal to see 2 shows over a 2 day period?

Thanks in anticipation

God knows what the people of London will think when a family of swamp dwellers arrive in the capital  :)

We do the theatre thing about 3 times a year. Never, ever do we buy tickets in advance.

We get a Hotel in London and buy the tickets from the kiosks in the street on the day of the performance - usually at vastly reduced rates.

For on all in package though, you can rarely beat Superbreak. Shows we've seen recently which were fantastic? Wicked, Fame, Dirty Dancing, We Will Rock You.

Its the way we used to get tickets when we lived down there, sometimes had to queue and might not always get what you wanted (more often than not you did)
Best way of doing it.unless you want to specifically see a certain show

We did a show and stay break a few years ago. Stayed at the Raddison Historia just off Leicester Square and went to see We Will Rock You.

I would definitely recommend the show, the hotel was what you'd expect - much of a muchness really!

Went down in October too, the wife and daughter went to see Mamma Mia whilst I trawled round the pubs in Leicester Square. They said it was brilliant, but not my cup of tea!
