Has anyone on here ever seen one??
I ask because I took my girlfriend to London for the weekend as a christmas present, and it included Phantom of The Opera last night at Her Majestys Theater (as well as randomly being upgraded to a 5 star hotel in Leicester Square). I wasn't really expecting to enjoy it but to my complete surprise (and hers!) it was absolutely amazing! Never experienced anything like it before.
Would definitely do it again or reccomend it to anyone. Theres even a Monty Python one out now which looks pretty decent.

Been to see "Joseph...." about 5 times, my family are obsessive about it, i just flat refuse to see it anymore. Blood Brothers is really good, do not see Cats

Rocky Horror picture show, 1998 (ish) at the wyvern theatre.
My aunt's boyfriend went dressed as Rocky,
My aunt went dressed as Magenta
Your's Truly went as Riff-Raff.
Fucking outstanding night.

Hated every minute of Phantom myself. Paid a reasonable £££ for the seats and found Her Majestys Theater to be a pretty shocking venue.
Don't go too often, but last year saw Sound of Music twice (once for free), and that silly bint that won the 'Maria' TV show (whole point of going) wasn't in it either time. We did go to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant for lunch before. Which I suppose £40 a head set menu and another £40 on wine isn't too bad. Anyway I digress.

Musicals are great, use to take my ex every few months when I lived near London. You can get cheap tickets in Leicester Square in a booth next to the Pizza Hut - superb night out and always worth the money

I also remeber gettin pissed in Witherspoons before the show, there where so many people dressed up in there, tha it cuold have been mistaken for a trekkie convention.
There's a light
OVER IN THE FRANKENSTEIN PLACE
There's li ii ii ii iii ght
BURING IN THE FIREPLACE.
Although i do think that Rocky Horror deserves it's own category within the musical's gendra )Sp)

It is a fantastic night, but London is riduculously expensive.. Don't know what I was expecting really but it was about £11 for two drinks at the theatre. Never been to a musical before and it was quite an experience. Got to wander round London a bit as we had daypasses for the tube which was pretty cool. The amount of cinemas and McDonalds is bloody ridiculous! |

That's because you were in Leicester Square Tails....home of cinema and the centre of London's tourist district I live a 5 minutes walk from there so I'm kind of used to it now  edit: Musicals! Yeh! Blood Brothers is great as mentioned above although the West End one was nowhere near as good as the one I saw in Bath! Joseph is good, and Rocky Horror really is just a totally different experience! |

London is ace! but very expensive
You should try taking Strood and his mate to Mexs club for a night - £160 later and a monster hangover - that was pricey

Saw Chicago in Laaandan Town a few years ago. The Wet wet wet bloke was in it. Was very good. £26 for two double vodkas though!

I used to regularly get dragged to them as a kid and to be honest think they're a bit shit.
Maybe I'm just a bit too guarded to get into the whole thing, but in general I find them a bit cringe worthy.

I can think of few things more cringe worthy than musicals.
