Chicago Theatre Breaks
Jul 15th
Chicago is simply one of the best known musicals for theatre breaks in London and despite being a bit long in the tooth it’s a perrenial favourite. The promotors of this international hit show manage to keep on coming up with unlikely special guest stars who always bring a new lease of life and interest to the show, for example this summer in London you can see Jerry Springer in the role of Flynn the lawayer. Here’s a video of Jerry helping to publicise Chicago at West End Live in London’s Leicester Square back in June 2009.

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
Mamma Mia Theatre Breaks in London
May 30th
Mamma Mia is one of the longer lasting musicals in the West End and so Mamma Mia Theatre Breaks in London have built up to become one of the standards alongside Dirty Dancing
It’s something to do with the heady feel good atmosphere generated by just the impression of a greek island holiday even though you are in the middle of the big city. You don;t necessarily have to be a big fan of Abba’s songs either, I know I’m not – but the game of guessing how the plot is weaving along to include yet another classic is almost as much fun as the superb acting and singing. The film of Mamma Mia! was pretty good too, with Maryl Streep proving she can sing for the first time to her usual film audience.

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.

You might think this sort of luxury would be horribly expensive and normally you’d be right!To stay one Friday night in June at full price would cost you £270!
But book it as a hotel deal as part of a London theatre break and prices start from just £92 per person including your show ticket (one night stay plus tickets for Woman in Black)
