Please can you recommend a London show?
So... I can't avoid it any longer - the wife insists she sees a London show when we visit in July Sad

As the thought of musical theatre makes me retch, please can any of you sane males here "educate" me and suggest good shows you have seen.

At least then I can make some positive suggestions and make up for all the sarcastic/negative things I just said to her to Censored her off. Incidentally, she sent me to the forum Exclamation so I'm already winning ground Thumbs Up

Many thanks,
Matt

p.s. you can PM me if you don't want to go public Wink Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Don't go and see a good show, see a bad one. More fun, and she won't want to go again Thumbs Up

Or try, as I did, fall asleep during, snore, and then be told "I'm never ever taking you to a show again". Winner Rolling with laughter

Don't go and see "We Will Rock You' - I thought it was just about OK at best.

If you like animals then maybe The Lion King or Warhorse - if you can get tickets

Warhorse! Yes - I forgot that one. I watched a load of YouTube videos about the puppets - simply incredible!

Andy - thanks for the advice - very practical as usual Wink
Unfortunately I've already used that particular "Joker" at the cinema during the second midnight "surprise" matinee she dragged me to. They show "secret" pre-released films. The first one we went to turned out to be Cassanova (I was expecting Pirates of the Caribbean) and the second was Mama Mia (I was expecting Iron Man). After a few minutes of Pierce Brosnan trying to sing I stood up, said "this is Censored " and walked out. I'm not sure what upset her more - me walking out or that several other blokes left with me Laughing Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Best musical in London at the moment by far is 'Sunny Afternoon' based on the music of the Kinks playing at the Harold Pinter theatre. Great performances and none of you luvy duvey Andrew Lloyd Webber stuff.

I would have liked that but Wifey isn't into "bands" - she has the radio on but never really listens to the music (and can't remember any song). Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Im not really into all this sort of thing and going to london to see shows, but last year my parents invited me along to see warhorse and I was amazed.
I thought it was fantastic, so much so I'd go back again to see it when the cast change around. Got 10/10 from me How the horses are done is incredible. You'll love it Thumbs Up
