is 'We Will Rock You' still around? That was really good IMO.

Anything but legally blonde =(
Wicked is supposed to be good?

Agreed - both 'Wicked' and 'We Will Rock You' are great. Of course, most girlies will prefer 'Wicked'...

Going to watch Varakai by Cirque du Soleil on Friday, if its any where near as good as "O" then it should be fantastic.

Wicked, Les Mis, the Sound of Music and The Lion King are all very good. Me and the girlfriend have seen loads of different ones in London but these were our favourites.

The Woman in Black is great for a scare.

Chicago was amazing, and if my Mrs wasn't there I would have fapped myself to death. To be fair she probably loved the women more than me

Definitely go and see this if you get a chance, really is very good.

I've also "seen" The Lion King but it was on a year 10 Drama trip and I fell asleep about 25 minutes in.

I went and saw The Misanthrope yesterday. It was amazing

In the woman in black I really jumped at.......

The bit where the aliens abseil down from the flying pigs!!!!!11111

Really need to see Varekai and Les Mis.

i like the looks of the misanthrope. Am in London 14-16 Feb, where is the best place to get tickets for that on Monday 15th?

thanks for your responses,

I am close to booking the lady in black but there are limited seats for the days i want to go...

the best seats are upper stalls - right at the top...

to the people who have been before - will this spoil my night if i sit so high up? i dont know yet how far back I will get seats..

please help

cheers

Saw Lion King over new year which was pretty good.

We will rock you is very good and seems to appeal to most people.

It's a very small theatre (well it was when I went and I don't think its moved?) so I think the view would be ok from anywhere.
