West End 101 — Page 2

Not sure how I missed this thread, but thank you JBC3 and GGersten for referring me!

I'm going to London for the first time Jan 16-20 for a short trip and am looking to see a show on the West End (Would prefer a musical, but also considering plays). Looking to go Wednesday 1/16 or Friday 1/18 (or, maybe both!). I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I am leaning toward "Company", mostly because it's Patti LuPone and I'm not really sure what else is out there creating any buzz aside from the NY shows which, I'm leaning against since I've seen them here (ie: phantom, wicked, BoM, curious incident, etc). Thoughts?

Impossible2: As I posted on the other thread - SiX reopens at the Arts on 17 January during your sojourn. It has a lot of buzz and the MegaSix at the end is all over YouTube - as well as the West End Live presentation. It's the six wives of Henry VIII done in a concert format.

Adding to the off West End, I haven't been to the new Union Theatre - but they do a lot of lesser known or produced in the UK musicals usually with actors just starting out. We saw a few good productions at the old Union - which was a locale that....well...was across the street! So, I'd keep an eye out for productions there. Except they are doing a production of Enemy of the People in January - so not a musical.

Here is one map of theatres - West End and non-West End. One Map
