Rocky Horror is very funny, it is so much fun because you get involved and so many people see it on a regular basis and really interact with the performers it is just alot of fun.

Aww Hun Billy is absolutrly fantastic i'm sure you'll love it, the dancing is so amazing. It is funny...but bring your tissues it is pretty sad aswell lol. You may see a friend of mine in it she is starting as one of the ballet girls next month. Hope you have a fab time

Saw Guys and Dolls yesterday which was as fantastic as ever...going again tomorrow hehe can't wait

Did you get dresses up I have the video and album of the original film and i'm just curious to know how many go to the stage version dressed in costume

Yeah I did dress up, most people do so you won't be out of the ordinary some people go absolutely mad....some people wear things allowing you to see stuff you just don't want to I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Has anyone seen Starlight Express? Its coming to Hull new theatre straight from the West End in June and I want to go see it.

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.

[xTanya]

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!

[xTanya]

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.
