Saw Kinky Boots Saturday night - excellent!! (PS: Slightly disturbed though at how attractive I found the 'transvestites'!!!)0
-
I saw 'She Loves You' at Menier Chocolate Factory last night and thought it was excellent.
The lead female was played by a lady called Scarlett Strallen, the niece of one Bonnie Langford, and she does certainly bear a resemblance to her aunt. A couple of other familiar faces in the cast were Norman Pace (of 'Hale & Pace' fame @ the Tramshed and further afield) and a very rotund Les Dennis.0 -
I have just been gifted a belated Christmas present from work for a show called Hamilton for next January... yes next January.
What is all the hype about? They even had to pay for the tickets on my card such are the heavy restrictions on purchasing.0 -

The theatre for Hamilton is being renovated at the moment. Hope it's ready !!!0

Saw Othello last night at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. For those that don't know it's a traditional Elizabethan indoor theatre next to the Globe. It's really small and all lit by candlelight. Really enjoyable in that setting, and very good show. I definitely recommend going to see a play there2

Couple of world war 1 related plays on in London during March/ April;
Wipers times (Ypres connection)- , https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/the-wipers-times
And coming in April, Spring Offensive-
https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/spring-offensive
Wipers times I definitely intend to see. If it hadn't been for @SE7toSG3 excellent battlefield tour recently it would have totally passed me by.
Spring offensive is on in clapham, and is the cheaper, fringier production of the two.2 -
Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely go to see these, I was impressed by Versailles at the Dolmar a couple of years ago, have seen War Horse a couple of times but for me, Journeys End remains the best Great War theatre, RC Sherrif served in the East Surreys and its semi autobiographical, whenever I see it it draws me in.
An English rep company is putting it on in Ypres between Sept/Nov I believe so worth a trip.
Thanks again from letting me know about these, I have just arrived in Skjope for a tour of the Salonika front tonight so am never far from the 'old front line'.2 -
Was given tickets for Wipers Times as a very welcome Christmas present, so off to see it next month2
-
Saw 'Twelfth Night' at the National with Tamsin Greig - very good.
Attended the 'Platform' Q&A beforehand at 6pm with the director, Simon Godwin. These are only ever a fiver and very good value.0 - Sponsored links:

Saw this last summer and thought it was disappointing, perhaps I was expecting too much after having seen the filmDA9 said:Saw jersey boys a few weeks ago, superb show
Saw Hand of God a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a load of bollox though clearly there were others in the theatre that felt otherwise
Saw Beautiful and will go back and see it again. Non stop trip down memory lane with song after song after song. Amazingly prolific songwriters.
As somebody else has mentioned, the Motown one is one I want to see also. Has anybody seen it yet ?
I've just purchased tickets too - a belated birthday treat for myself & Mr F !cherryorchard said:Was given tickets for Wipers Times as a very welcome Christmas present, so off to see it next month

Just been to see An American in Paris. Brilliant show. So uplifting. Fabulous dancing and songs

Saw madama butterfly last night. Beamed live to cinema from up the road (ROH)1
-
Saw Twelfth Night last night - again beamed live to the picturehouse in greenwich. Didn't think I'd like it, not knowing the story. It was amazing. I know it's not the same as the real thing, but the close ups with the camera showing the expressions, I dont think you'd notice if you were at the back of the theatre. Surprised by the cast, as didn't recognise the names, but all recognisable actors/comedians. very funny. would definitely recommend and may even go again myself.1

It is amazing to think Shakespeare is still 'living' as it were, and has been one of the biggest cash cows of all time, over 400 years since he died.0

Have now seen Wipers Times. Excellent production. In a very small theatre, which added to the atmosphere.2

42nd Street at Drury Lane Theatre - a tap dancing and musical extravaganza. Very good0

Stepping out at vaudeville. Hmmmm. Not as great as I was thinking. 2nd half funnier. Tracy Ann overman great. Hate Amanda Holden but begrudgingly impressed by her by the end.0

Anyone who likes Fawlty Towers should go to see the interactive show in the hotel above Charing Cross - Amba Hotel. Fantastic entertainment and at £64 a head including a 3 course meal it is not bad value.0

Dreamgirls was fantastic on Saturday and we've got another child free weekend this week too. Was thinking of going to the half price place at Leicester square on Saturday to see what they've got on offer. Has anyone seen Half a Sixpence?0
-
Is the half price place half price?
In NY in Times square they have these similar booths, I popped round the corner to the actual theatre and got my tickets cheaper.
One thing that does get to me is rude box office staff, and in London there seems to be a lot!0 -

Had a look on-line and some of their prices are cheaper but not all (one or two are actually a bit dearer)seth plum said:Is the half price place half price?

Someone else suggested going to the actual theatre about an hour before the show. May well try that.0 -

I think it's fantastic that the National Theatre are putting on a show highlighting the plight of Charlton under the current regime.
