Deja vu. That's not trouble mate, the trouble starts when she's living zero miles away. Mega-fucking-FACT.  :D

Don't West End shows like Dirty Dancing get booked out months in advance? I'm sure someone at work had to give it a miss because of that.

Seen Grease & Lion King in the west end both were worth watching, Lion King especially. the Mrs has seen the Abba tribute one and thought that was really good as well.

Hoping to go and see Chicago later in the year (when Suzanne Shaw takes over as Roxy in July obviously) if your bit of stuff used to be into Blue then Duncan James is currently in Chigago (that may impress her)

Lion King was quite good actually, they;ve largely shook of the Disney image for the stage production.

Spamalot was cracking and there was a mized audience when I saw it, but I was laughing way too much to see if the women were enjoying it.  You can pre book your half time beer and they stick it on a Round Table!

Get in some cheap cider, some fags and a kebab and pay some tramps to fight each other. Magical night.

Wicked is meant to be great.
As somebody mentioned, Hairspray is supposed to be good but may not be your thing Fred. It is right across the road from my halls but I can't afford to do the research for you!

You can get tickets for most shows if you turn up at 9.30am (ish) on the actual morning, even if they are "sold out"

I can pick some "day release" tickets from Leicester Square no problem

The only ticket you need for an early relationship date is brighton v swindon, no point setting standards you cant live up to in the future!

I'll 2nd and 3rd that!

Took the missus just before Xmas.  Thought I would be totally bored while she enjoyed herself but tbh it is probably the best West end show I have seen and I have seen a few!  Grease and DD are the best 2 I have seen.

And like Jimbob said, there is plenty of the cast that are well worth going for!  The blonde has got legs that go on and on!

Hasn't this been done to death before?

Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Lion King, Rent & Blood Brothers - all highly recommended.

I'm going to get some tickets for the Lord of the Rings jobby, as it closes mid July. Its been panned in reviews, but just HAS to be done.

The Tef should put on a production. Preferably something where the copyright has lapsed so we don't have to pay royalties. Like Shakespeare or something. As long as it's not A Midsummer's Night Dream, that is one gash play. Macbeth is pretty ace.

I took Jenna to see The Tempest at the Wyvern last month and it was awesome

Is The Tempest the one about the cider drinking tramp who lives on a desert island or something?
