Posted: 2/2/05 at 3:06pmIf you haven't already seen it, I would have to say Les Miz. I saw it this past summer in the West End and it was incredible!

Depending on your taste I'd say Jerry Springer the Opera, David Badella and Alison Jiear are worth the ticket price alone.. if you can get a ticket...
The Producers at Theatre Royal, Drury lane, Lee Evans is doing a lovely job...
And Mary Poppins...

Posted: 2/3/05 at 7:35pmI'd say the London Phantom production is stronger than ever now. Go see it with John Owen Jones! He leaves feb 26th.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 2/3/05 at 7:57pmJerry shuts on the 19th, tickets are real hard to get, if you wanna try, use seetickets through the website (jerryspringertheopera.com) it is worth it, because it's superb!! I loved it so much, i'm even wearing my talk to the hand, talk to the ass t-shirt from the show!

Les Mis or Phantom if you're looking for something "classic" broadway. Not "golden age" material, just not a risk.
Mary Poppins for something light and probably fun and colorful.
Blood Brothers or Woman in White for something more contemporary and new.
Producers for a funny and most-likely well done night at the theatre with some good songs.

Posted: 2/3/05 at 10:28pmThere is actually a westendtheatreworld.com exactly like bww. I sweat when I stumbled across it, I thought I was in some creepy parallel universe...and in a sense I WAS. And cue the Twilight Zone music.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."
