Musical theatre

[hrh89]

Les Mis is my favourite west end show I’ve ever seen, nothing really comes close to this spectacular show!! I left the theatre just dumbstruck at how powerful and moving the whole thing was.

I adored Phantom, Lion King, Wicked and Billy Elliot! Haven’t had a chance to see Hamilton yet but it’s on my wish list!

Not a musical but I must say Woman In Black is one of the best pieces of theatre I’ve seen! Terrifying.

I’m seeing Woman in Black in November, at least it won’t look so odd wearing a scarf and using it to hide behind!

What's come from away about? Ive not heard anyone talking about it? X

It’s a true story about planes that have to land in a small town called Gander in Canada after the US airspace is closed from 9/11. It follows some of the people in the town and some stories of people on the planes. Incredibly moving and interesting. The cast all play different roles! If you YouTube them doing the west end live 2019 it’ll show you the cast I saw do a couple of the songs. It’s one of my favourites I’ve ever seen!

I have seen:

Phantom of the opera
Jersey Boys
Lion king
Dream girls
Rocky horror
Blood brothers
Les Mis
Les Mis the staged concert
Legally blonde
Miss Saigon
Hair spray
mama Mia
The body guard
Sister act
Grease
Saturday night fever
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Mary Poppins
Beauty and the Beast
Cats
Joseph
Evita
Sound of music
Aladdin

Pretty sure I’ve missed some off!

 

[Rose91]

I hope you enjoy it! I thought it was just super what they do with the set and such a small cast. The atmosphere is chilling.

I saw it years ago with school and remember being so scared!

I saw Bat out of hell the musical which, if you’re a Meatloaf fan like I am, is a must and I really hope they bring it back

 

[Rose91]

My favourite has to be Wicked. Was very lucky to see Cats on Broadway and cried although a couple next to me left during the interval as they couldn’t stand it.

Saw 9 to 5 on Thursday and it’s hilarious. Bonnie Langford is amazing and has some serious moves.

Going to see Book of Mormon for my brothers birthday and Prince of Egypt next June. Some people spend money on drugs and alcohol, I spend mine on theatre trips!

Hamilton is by far the best musical theatre I have seen - can’t put into words how amazing it is!

I can't believe more people haven't mentioned this. It is the best thing I have ever witnessed with my eyes!! I ventured out of the glorious Kingdom of Fife to go to London for the first time in my life, specifically to see this last year and I still do not have the superlatives to exclaim how amazing it was. I am desperate to see it again!

Blood Brothers - Loved it so much but reminded me of very 80s Brookside
Phantom - Cried most of the way through it
Wicked - Fab
Matilda - Really enjoyable but yes story is very different

I have tickets to see the SIX tour in the New Year, canny wait.

 

[Gingercream]

Yeah as soon as I saw it had whoopi Goldberg in I was sold!

 

[Mercedes12]

Wicked is my all time favourite - for good gets me every single time.
Jersey boys - love it

Is book of mormon good - it's coming to Liverpool and I would love to see it

it's well worth going to watch! quite crude humour tho, worth noting its written by the guys who created south park

 

[GiggleBee]

I can't believe the prices for west end shows! £202 for Wicked £190 for the Lion king!

Even in my local theatre I'm looking at £80 for the lion king.

I really liked Matilda - i went with my daughter and we thought it was great! School of Rock is one of my faves too, along with Wicked.

Trying to think what else ive seen!

Blood Brothers (AMAZING!)
Grease (Ok)
School of Rock

I LOVED woman in black - its still on my list to take my hubby!! My daughter is almost 9 and loves a musical too and now shes at an age where she can appreciate it a bit more - theres lots i want to take her to see!

 

[eyeballs]

They’ve just released tickets for 2020.
I’ve heard great things. Is it worth going to see?


This was in relation to Hamilton the musical!

Yes yes yes yes yes !!!

£202?! I paid £90 for two Wicked tickets in 2017, then £100 for three a month after!

These were the top price seats.

Oh yeah we saw The Woman in Black with school, I agree it's scary!!

Gotta love Grease, I have tickets to the Lion King for January can't wait!

I did like Wicked, nearly cried when she did Defying Gravity she really belted it out and I felt it!

Was not a fan of Blood Brothers did not stay with me can't remember any of it.

I saw Carrie Hope Fletcher in Addams family, she was amazing, loved the show too. Wish I'd went to see Heathers when in London .

Wasn't a fan of Phantom, would love to see Les Mis one day, it was sold out fast last time it came to town!

 

[Catfan2]

Yes I love musicals! Will try and think of what I’ve seen - Starlight Express (fabulous, they need to bring that back), Cats (not a fan), Joseph (with Philip Schofield, then Lee Mead years later), 42nd Street, Aspects of Love, Time, Phantom, Miss Saigon, Buddy, Les Mis (hated it!), Five guys named moe (fun!), Barnum (with Michael Crawford!), Wicked, We will rock you, Grease, Flashdance, Rocky Horror, Jersey Boys....and my two absolute favourites which are Mamma Mia (an ABBA fan of over 40 years - seen the show 5 times) and Blood Brothers which I must have seen about 4 times and going again next year. It’s phenomenal, you really must see it if you get the chance. I every time!

 

[newtoyou]

That was me, heard Whoopi and Jennifer Saunders were in it, and I booked. It’s a Bloody expensive show is Sister Act.

It is, but I'm willing to do it for Whoopi, lol. I heard they dont sing the songs from the film cos of copyright though
