I also want to go see Joseph. Its on at the Adelphi in July. Whats the best seats to go for to get a decent view but without spending too much? And which hotel is the best (and cheapest) to stay in? I live a long way from London so I can't afford to pay too much for a hotel as I'll have travel to pay for as well.
Haven't seen Starlight but have heard good things about it.
The Adelphie is a nice theatre, erm probably the best place if you don't want to pay top price is the 2nd price band in the royal circle it will be a better view than the back of the stalls, you may be able to get some deals online you probably don't want to risk last minute if you are travelling far. If you are a student you can get good deals if you can go mid week.
In terms of hotels you can get reasonably cheap hotels in London and you don't need to be really near the theatre as it is quick enough to travel around London you could probably find a travel lodge they might be your best bet.
Thanks for that. I've decide to save up and take my mum in November half term (coincides with my birthday :) ) as a special treat/suprise.
http://www.lastminute.com/lmn/multip...equestid=10189 Could you tell me which of these hotels are closer to the Adelphi? It'll just be me and my mum (possibly my sister) going and we've never been to London before so I don't want to get lost trying to find the hotel lol.
I would say your best bet is to be in one near an underground station because once you are on the underground it is easy to get anywhere, I would say your best bet is the holiday Inn Oxford Circus, and to get to the theatre from there you would get on the Oxford circus underground on the Bakerloo line and you just go two stops to Charring Cross which is the nearest station to the theatre.
Hope that helps.
I'd seen my first ever musical a few weeks ago, Billy Elliot! And boy was it good! I wouldn't mind seeing it again and I would like to go and see some others but sadly my parents aren't really into musicals so yeah maybe when I'm older with a few mates or something!
Billy was a good start...it's such a fantastic show the kids are amazing I know one of the ballet girls actually lol.
I had quite a musical filled week last week Monday Wicked Wednesday Wicked Matinee and We Will Rock You in the evening Drowsey Chaparone Friday and Wicked again last night lol so yes a rather good theatre week
London Theatre Guide is currently listing a show called "Potted Potter - The Unofficial Harry Experience" which is due to open at the Trafalgar Studios 2 Theatre in the West End on December 17th. The show promises "endless costumes, songs, ridiculous props and a little magic, with a special appearance from a very frightening fire-breathing dragon, and even a game of Quidditch involving the audience". It will use elements from all seven of the books and condense them into a sixty minute performace.
The production, which is performed entirely by two people, appears to be aimed at children aged six and above, and will run until January 5th 2008.

I want to see Joseph (a girl from my dance class is in it) Blood Brothers, WWRY, and I want to see the 3 I've seen again ahah.
I think I need to win the lottery.
Blood Brothers is amazing, I have seen it twice and it doesnt matter how many times you see it, it is still as good, I wanna see it againQuote:

.. However I went to see the matinee performance and was surrounded by kids as we booked to go see it when there was a schools thing going on.
I was one of the schools lol, it was that they gave out a certain amount of free tickets to certain schools, and then there was a talk after with the castQuote:

ive seen quite a few musicals as my mum and gran really enjoy them so we normally go as a family, and its good as well cos of all my dancing/drama/performing arts stuff. the first musical i saw was cats when i was about 5 cos i was doing it at dancing so my parents took us to see it as theyd seen it before and really enjoyed it (i saw it again a few years later too). ive also seen joseph, mama mia, we will rock you, grease, the king and i, beauty and the beast, the lion king (twice as i went for stage management last year), chitty chitty bang bang, mary poppins, doctor dolittle (twice cos the first time we went some of the special effects/set werent working so we got free tickets to go again!), chicago (when i was in new york), starlight express, billy elliot (for my 18th bday), footloose, and i saw phantom of the opera in southend. the last one i saw was lord of the rings at the end of may. i dont know which one i enjoyed best cos i enjoyed them all! :D the lion king is amazing though, the costumes are really good! :) when i was in year 10 my performing arts group went to see les miserables but i didnt go cos my mum said it would work out cheaper if i didnt go with the school, still havent actually seen it though! the next ones i wanna see are dirty dancing and wicked
i saw that at the end of may :) did you enjoy it?Quote:

I've seen Thoroughly Modern Millie, Fosse and 42nd Street too (girl in dancing was in that again) I need to see more! :D
I did, i really enjoyed LOTR. I think some of the acting could have been better, but i thought it was an amazing show. Not too many songs - which i thought was good because i did think Lord of the Rings the musical would have been really strange. The set and the stage :eek: WOW, i think everyone needs to see it just to take in that - awesome. I think the whole thing was put together really well and to condense 3 like 3 hour films into one 3 hour show was good :)
I really enjoyed it, but then again i enjoyed the films. My friend never was really into the films and therefore didn't enjoy the musical as much.
I think it was great and im glad i saw it before it closes.
i cant really remember much of it cos i saw it ages ago, but i thought it was really amazing how they can dance wearing rollerskates!Quote:

I went to see that in Brighton, loved it. The first show i'd seen that wasn't in London's west end. People say the only place to go see them is in the west end. But that was just as good if not better and half the price as well, and half the price to get to the venue too.Quote:
