I was just wondering whether anyone on here had any recommendations for London theatre shows?  I'd never been to London's West End until a couple of years back when I went to see The Sound of Music after watching the programme on tv. I've since seen Joseph, and also Lord of the Rings twice, which was absolutely fantastic.  I have two teenage sons who really enjoyed it too.

I have two more trips to London planned this year (lucky me, I know!) and am trying to make my mind up what to go and see?  I'm going once with two female friends and once with my OH and teenage sons. Has anyone seen anything they would like to recommend?  Has anyone seen Wicked? Questions, questions!!

 We Will Rock you is very good

Lion King is super 

I would thoroughly recommend Billy Elliot Christine. It is brilliant on stage and also very moving. The dancing is spectacular and there are many funny moments too. All in all a very good night's entertainment.

I havent seen 'WICKED' But I have friends who have seen it, And ejoyed it so much they went back again, They said it was amazing

Other than that Id go with Marian and Billy (not literally as she's already been LOL)

There is so many shows on though it is sometimes hard to choose,

I fancy the lion king. I was gunna go see that this year, But aint now :(

I guess it deoends on what you and your family fancy

I also Fancy Grease see, But thats because it's one of my fave films

Thanks for your replies - there are so many to choose from aren't there?  More or less decided it will be Lion King with the boys, and maybe Wicked or Phantom or Blood Brothers with the girls, but your recommendation on Billy Elliot sounds good Marian!  Decisions, decisions!

Oooooo Christine Joseph is fab SO brilliant that I want to go again lol! watching Lee Mead on stage is like Jonathan/G4 ADDICTIVE!! I chat to someone on his forum who has seen him 24 TIMES lol!!! the Adelphi is an amazing theatre!

 I would also love to see Hairspray, Wicked and We Will Rock You!

Hannah, I LOVE the picture of you and Lee Mead.  He is a bit gorgeous isn't he?!  I loved Joseph when I went to see it. 24 times!  Now that's what I call an addiction!

Have booked tickets to see the Lion King with my family, and have got the 'girls' coming round next week to choose what we will go see.  I would quite like Phantom or Wicked, and I know one of my friends would like to see Hairspray.  We had thought of Gone WIth the Wind, but the reviews were not at all good, and I hear it is closing very soon. To be quite honest I don't really mind what we agree on in the end.  There's always another time....!

i am hoping to go see the jersey boys at the prince edward theatre ,be grateful if anyone could tell me what reasonable priced hotels are near there ,would really like to stay over night
