What's your Top 5 favorite Shows on in London?

Quite predictable I'm afraid!

1. Avenue Q - breath of fresh air
2. Billy Elliot - does it need a reason?
3. Guys and Dolls - seen it with each cast, and it's remained strong throughout.
4. Mamma Mia!
5. Sunday in the Park with George - exquisitely presented production goes to show the strengths of London's 'fringe'

Oh its hard to prioritise my top 5.

1 - Les Miz
2 - Billy Elliot
3 - Avenue Q (as pinball said a breath of fresh air)
4 - Mamma Mia (pure joy)
5 - The Producers or Phantom (im not sure on their current state - Phantom looked tired last I saw it a year ago)

1. Avenue Q
2. Sunday in the Park with George
3. Les Mis
4. Guys and Dolls
5. Mary Poppins

(If you meant plays as well as musicals, I would include The Life of Galileo, The Seagull and Hay Fever!)

So far I have only seen 3 shows in london

They are (in order)
1. Blood Brothers - Loved the music, amazing story, perfect show.
2. We Will Rock You - Fan of queen anyway and i thought this show was brill.
3. Phantom of the Opera - Enjoyed the show but the seats really spoiled it for me (Balcony Row A - Extremely cramped and vertical view of the stage).

Ive also seen Joseph but not on broadway.

Going to London again in London again in October and have tickets for Mary Poppins and Wicked. Also been told I can see another two shows at least, possibly 5 (Ideal would be to add Spamalot, Avenue Q and WWRY again).

Also gonna see Cats, Chicago, Guys and Dolls, Joseph and Blood brothers at my local theatre in the next 6 month.

footloose(hehehe)
sunday in the park
Guys and Dolls
Ave q
evita

1. Sunday in the Park with George - first act is outstanding
2. Guys and Dolls - A real surprise but what a gem !!
3. Mamma Mia - A feel good show with a great party atmosphere
4. Les Miserables - It's still worthy of an annual fix
5. Lion King - It's the circle of life that does it

Phantom looked tired when I saw it 8 years ago!

My top 5? What a question!!

1) Avenue Q - as we all said, an exciting breath of fresh air!
2) Mary Poppins - good fun + lovely.
3) Footloose - how could I not!
4) Guys and Dolls - its solid enough for a funish night.
5) Sinatra - crap, but the music is great.

not in order:

-Billy Elliot
-Avenue Q
-Chicago
-Guys & Dolls
-Sunday In The Park With George

I think these 5 shows are a MUST see in Ldn!

1. Les Mis or Billy Elliot
2. Whichever of the two above doesn't get first
3. Mary Poppins
4. Not sure, too much to choose from
5. See 4.

I suppose Wicked would be in there at 4, but then again it's not on yet and I might prefer something else on another day. I'm not sure why, but I got pretty depressed for about a month after seeing Wicked in New York in December, but I don't think it was to blame.

Hard to choose but i have tried:
1) Avenue Q - The soundtrack was amazing, the show is 10 times better
2) Blue Man Group - Never had so much fun in a theatre
3) Les Miserables - It gets me every time (though i prefer the 'school' productions)
4) Blood Brothers - Too emotional
5) The Phantom of the Opera - I want to see it in good seats next time :)

The Woman in White would be at the top but i guess it doesn't count

1) Les Mis
2) Blood Brothers
3) Evita
4) Lion King
5) ummmmmm.....Phantom I guess

1. Les Miserables

2. The Phantom Of The Opera

3. Spamalot

4. Chicago

5. The Producers
