Hi...am planning a trip to London in late March 2010 and would like to go to one or two shows while there. I prefer musicals and am usually an orginal cast snob. Could I get some suggestions that are the big hits in London? I realize the trip is off by several months but some of you may know whats opening by then. I would have loved Oliver, but Rowan Atkinson is no longer Fagan. I have also seen most of the broadway transfers (Billy Elliot, Spamalot, Chicago, etc). I am talking about shows like Priscilla that haven't opened in NYC yet. Thanks for the help.
Well spamalot closed over here a while ago, so that aint even an option, I would reccomend Sister Act, PRISCILLA, Blood Brothers is a good tear jerker, We will rock you is a fun night out, but an awful bit of theatre!
Love never dies, might of opened by the time you come over so will certainly have a original cast, and "Webbers best score yet" according to Baz of the Dail Mail who had a sneak preview.
"My sense of Love Never Dies is that it's the best score Lloyd Webber has produced, and that once he hands it over to director Jack O'Brien it can be moulded into the best musical London has seen in years."
