Billy Elliot - Victoria Place Theatre

Elton John's smash hit.

_______________________________________________________________________

Blood Brothers - Phoenix Theatre

Long running musical but you might find the plot very alien to your taste. Now starring Mel C

from 'Spice Girls' now that might change your mind.

________________________________________________________________________

Chicago - Cambridge Theatre

Beautiful boys and girls dancers and great story and music.

________________________________________________________________________

Dirty Dancing - Aldwych Theatre

Only if you like the movie.

________________________________________________________________________

Grease - Piccadilly Theatre

You will have a great time with this one.

________________________________________________________________________

Hairspray - Shaftesbury Theatre

Fun, entertaining and you can go back home and say you saw the 'Hit' show on London.

_______________________________________________________________________

Jersey Boys - Prince Edward Theatre

Good production, it all depends if you are interested in the story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.

________________________________________________________________________

Les Miserable - Queen's Theatre

If you like a great musical score, then this will bring tears to your eyes.

Those who are just off the plane and suffering from a bit of jet lag,

make sure this is not the first show you see because the lighting is a bit dim and

you might find yourself falling asleep.

The Lion King - Lyceum Theatre

10th long years. Only if your kid is a Disney fan, lots of ideas like paper shadow puppets,

ribbon dance etc. that is too familiar with the Far East audience.

________________________________________________________________________

Legally Blonde - Savoy Theatre

A must for young girls!

________________________________________________________________________

Love Never Dies - Adelphi Theatre

Have to see it at least once !

_______________________________________________________________________

Mamma Mia - Price of Wales

Great music but I prefer the film than the stage musical.

________________________________________________________________________

Oliver - Drury Lane Theatre

Don't miss this !

________________________________________________________________________

The Phantom of the Opera - Her Majesty's Theatre

If you have never seen a musical before - this is the one to see.

Just be prepared that after seeing it, you will be spoiled forever.

All other musicals will pale in comparison.

________________________________________________________________________

Sister Act - London Palladium

Great set, great costume, very enjoyable.

________________________________________________________________________

Priscilla Queen of the Desert - Palace Theatre

A must of the bad times we are in..

_________________________________________________________________________

We Will Rock You - Dominio Theatre

Only if you really like Queen's music.

________________________________________________________________________

Wicked - Apollo Victoria Theatre

Just to see the production is worth buying a ticket.
