Ive seen Les Miserables many times recently and i cant recommend it highly enough. Just about everyone i know has been bullied into going to see it now, or will be .... Its what started all this off for me after bumping into a bloke who was desperately trying to flog spares about 15 mins before the show one evening. I went in with a mate and i was blown away. The music is so powerful, the performences from the actors gritty and real, the quality of the production and the set leaves you wondering how they do it, and the story itself is complex, clever and emotional. Even when several first choice actors are not playing, their understudies are brilliant and in some cases, better. (Strength in depth, Wenger, take note....)
Other shows ive seen recently are Mama Mia (shite,) Billy Elliot (good,) We Will Rock You (utter shite but good music) and Stomp (very good)
I also saw Cats and Starlight Express when they were on.
I want to see War Horse next.
If you live in london, get yourself some cheap tickets and get to a show. Its a different night out and its available every night. Best availability is mon, tues and wed.
What have you seen either in london or antwhere else?
