What do I see?

Posted: 1/7/08 at 10:07pm

So I'm coming into London the end of the month, and while I already have Joseph, Billy and LOTR lined up, I have 2-3 slots to fill. I need opinions because while I want to see the new things, I feel after having been to London several times, I need ideas.

I'm thinking of seeing:

Dealer's Choice
The Lover/Collection
The Sea
Blood Brothers
La Cage (can I still get tix)
Rent (yes, I'm curious)

Thoughts?

I recommend Blood Brothers. (I love the show in general and Siobhan McCarthy's fabulous.)

Is Blood Brothers really that good? I never got to see it Broadway, though if I recall, it didn't get the best notices here. But maybe I will give it a shot! Thanks!

'Rent' will be gone by the end of the month.
Theres a good chance you'll get a tkt for 'La Cage' but it needs to be booked now as its only a 150 seater and it opens to the press 2mrw so demand will jump even more.
'Blood Brothers' is/was a great show but is very tired now but if you havnt seen it youll enjoy it immensely.

A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!'' Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

I might just get a La Cage ticket tonite, is it really general admission like it says on the website? I'm staying near Victoria station, will it be easy to get back to the hotel after the show (I like using the public transport).

Blood Brothers I'll try give a shot (since I can get it comped or cheap anyway). I'll be there the last week of Jan, so I may just give Rent a shot too. Too many choices!

Doors open at around 7.40pm and people hang around the door from around 7.20pm. Can be a bit a scrum. The area in front of the stage has cabaret seating.
If you like the public transport hen you'll have no trouble getting back to Victoria after the show. The whole company always meet up in the bar after for drinks.
'Rent' closes on Feb 2nd- you wont miss much!

Ordered my ticket for La Cage on 1 Feb, thanks for the advice!

Also, thank goodness it's a cheap ticket, because that exchange rate hurts deep...

songanddanceman2, if I don't do Rent, what else would you recommend?
