The Tower of London here I come

[Wings]

Traveling up to London to visit our daughter, I appreciate we all have different taste etc. but what theatre shows would you recommend seeing whilst there, thanks

[Nom de ploom]

depends on her age and likes / dislikes...

for me

Lion King - great all round family ent
Chicago - good song and dance and a few celeb guest stars I thought it was dissapointing if i'm honest.
Blood Brothers - my fave but quite adult very moving
We will rock you - excellent night out, esp for queen fans but even if you're not most ppl know the songs
Phantom...still the best - if you can get in!

street vendors are usus pretty good and the premiums are that bad

All down to taste. The museums are free, but can be busy at weekends. Still worth a look.

Start with the Time Out website - find out what's on and whether you want to see it. I have a big soft spot for fringe theatre, but not many people share that soft spot ...

More information is needed. How old is daughter, how long are you in town for, what's your budget, what do you enjoy doing, where will you be staying?

Avoid, just avoid Shrek the Musical.

Absolute drivel, not funny, amateur production.

That is all.

If you don't mind Camp or enjoy the movie I'd recommend Priscilla. I took the OH with low expectations and really enjoyed it.

I should have said that daughter lives and works in London, so just me and the other half, two OAPs. We have seen twice “We Will Rock You”, “Blood Brothers” and “Chicago” would like to see “Phantom” and also thought about “Jersey Boys” or “Legally Blonde” what do you think?

Well Sunday I thought I would try the new route home via the A501 to Bristol from the vicinity of the Tower of London.

Firstly, Tower Bridge was closed due to bridge works, so had to use London Bridge, but amazingly, more luck than map reading, found myself on City Road heading towards Grays Inn, and then it all went wrong. For from Grays Inn to the M4 it took me over 2 hours, and at one point for 10 whole minutes I never moved, never seen traffic like it. So from 3 o’clock leaving Tower Bridge, I didn’t arrive home in Bristol until 6.55.

Daughter going on a cruise in late December, with me and the wife having use of her flat, no way will I attempt driving to London again, going to be train and Boris Johnson’s bikes.

If you want to see something different then how about The Woman in Black http://www.thewomaninblack.com/ Ive seen it a couple of times and its very good.

Bit confused - you firstly ask for advice on which shows to see. Then later on you advise the shows you have already seen (which I might have mentioned firstly), then you discuss traffic problems leaving the most congested city in the country. Must be me I guesss...
