Hey All,

I’m going to be in London in December and am starting to buy tickets to shows now. When do they usually announce what new shows are coming in the fall? Also, is there any word on if Benjamin Buttons will extend past August?

Thanks!

I have tickets for Paddington and All My Sons.  Hoping there is a Panto going on that interests me.

Not previously mentioned, I have "Playboy of the Western World" and the new Sherlock play with ALW/Time Rice Music up in Birmingham booked also.

Some really good stuff on tap for December. We have tickets for All My Sons and Paddington.

Palladium Panto starts December 6. It really is a must. Over-the-top and so entertaining.

Crossing my fingers for a Benjamin Button extension. It wasn’t on my radar last year, but i went on Jordan’s recommendation (thanks Jordan!!). It is such a special musical.

Into the Woods, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong and Paddington for me as well. There is a rumor that the RSC production of Hamlet, set aboard the Titanic, will be transferring to the Barbican in December, I hope it proves to be true.

don't forget the Marie Antoinette exhibition at the V&A

I can't believe I forgot to mention Ride the Cyclone at Southwark Playhouse!

Looks like I’ll also be in London for Christmas. Some good recommendations here, thank you!

Just curious re: Paddington.  This was completely off my radar and I’m just curious if people are interested in this because of the IP or if this has the makings of a spectacle. I’m personally not very interested in Paddington, but would certainly give it a go for a holiday extravaganza.

I don’t think anyone is expecting “spectacle” from it, it’s just a beloved property that’s pretty much a guaranteed hit over the holidays.

Got it…they also offer Sunday shows so that’s helpful and opens up a slot for an otherwise show-less day.
