Blairgowrie Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Pooka, me and the wives want to have a night at the theatre when we visit London. Any recommendations on what we might take in? I see 39 Steps by John Buchan is still running after 2 years? It was a book I had to read at school and I enjoyed it.

delta7 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 the big hitters are LES MISERABLES and CHICAGO see here for whats on and simple reviews http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/ If you want something different then shakespeares globe theatre was reburbished a few years ago and does shows http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/ but check run times to make sure they are still on when you plan to visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks Dave. Helen has been to Les Mis and didn't think too highly of it. Chicago might be good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I saw Chicago when I was living in London, and it really was a great experience. The band were outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 So Jim from Ontario will go to London to see Chicago. Yes, it is all making sense to me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted November 26, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Chicago sounds interesting, I found another, "The Mouse Trap". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 isn't Mousetrap the one that has been running for about 25 or 30 years straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Just finished downloading the movie Chicago on bit torrent. Do you want a DVD copy of it Pook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 isn't Mousetrap the one that has been running for about 25 or 30 years straight? 57 years to be exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I think its just a little too early to book anything yet, BG. Best to wait 'til February when the Christmas and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Jim, Well - there is always a Andrew Lloyd Webber classic The Phantom of the Opera, still running at Her Majesty's Theatre. Have a peek at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks Akula. My wife Helen and Pooka have seen Phantom 3 times each (I wonder if they saw it together hmmm...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Jim, Yes, Moa and I are most definitely thinking of going to London in July. If we get there - which we really hope we will, a few days with you would absolutely be included! The only thing that might get in the way is of the Catch 22 kind - as I am now a student, I don't have any income during the summer months, so I need to find some form of temporary job during early June to mid-August. That could be a hindrance in two ways; if I do not get a job, we may not have enough money to go. If I do get it, work might keep me at home.

Blairgowrie Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Lover Never Dies might indeed be an option. My wife said she and and friend walked out of Mousetrap when it was in Toronto. I am certainly leaning towards a good musical. Isn't this planning really exciting and fun?

Blairgowrie Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I believe it opens in February Pook. If it is a hit (which is likely) we might have a problem getting tickets. Might have to act quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Anyone else want to join Pook, myself and wives for Tuesday July 6? We can get stall seats, 6th row from the front, for a measly 65 quid, each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
