Theatre Breaks in London 2010 – Love Never Dies
Oct 2nd
My tip for theatre breaks in London in 2010 is going to be for, “Love Never Dies”, the Phantom of the Opera sequel. We don’t know all that much about it yet, but that doesn’t matter, even this early. We know the pedigree behind it, with Andrew Lloyd Webber in charge and a whole string of hit musicals behind him, but that’s not the clincher.

Anybody who has been up to London on a special trip just to see The Phantom of the Opera will be wanting to see what happens next, and that’s where Love Never Dies theatre breaks in London will pick up a certain number of devotees but there’s more. There are two books which Phantom fans may have come across. One by the original author of the novel upon which phantom the musical was based, ( that one is also called “Love Never Dies”) and a later novel by Frederick Forsyth called “The Phantom of Manhattan”.
Where I think this new musical is going to make sure of its own survival in London theatreland though, is in having Ben Elton write the playscript. Elton is the comedian, comedy writer and novelist who is behind the storyline in “We Will Rock You” which is another of the longest running West End musicals, and a long term favourite for theatre breaks in London, not just for the great classic rock songs by Queen. So with a host of talented established musical theatre stars lined up for a possible three instances of Love Never Dies worldwide, with the experience of the management, talent of the writers and the following of Phantom to build on, I can’t see Love Never Dies failing to make a permanent marl on the London theatre breaks scene.
Wicked Theatre Breaks In London
Jun 29th
Wicked theatre breaks in London might be centered around the Victoria area, with the huge Apollo theatre for Wicked being located near London Victoria station as well as several top quality hotels nearby. Go before December and you’ll have a chance to see the new Elphaba, wicked witch perfoermed by Alexia Khadime who is surely making for a superb replacement for Kerry Ellis. This video is from the West End Live show last weekend, and gives a low key idea of what Alexia can do I think.
While in the Victoria area for a Wicked theatre break, I’d head south down to the riverbank and take a look at the Tate Britain art museum if that’s your kind of thing. It makes a nice change from the more popular Tate modern these days. On the day of the show why not have an enjoyable bar snack style lunch at Chimes of Pimlico Restaurant

Andaz Liverpool Street for Luxury Theatre Breaks In London
Better known by its former name, The Great Eastern Hotel, Andaz Liverpool Street is one of the many 19th-century enormous hotels that tower above London’s mainline railway stations. It is easily the most impressive in the current day. The exterior dates from 1884 but inside it is all very 2009 with added wow factor. Filled with Turner Prize-worthy sculptures, walls of angled mirrors, retro-minimalist bedrooms, an eye-popping rotunda – it’s a David Lynch film set masquerading as a hotel. There’s no reception desk either – staff come to you with laptops while you relax in the lounge.
