West End Shows!

Iv only seen one, Sister Act but it was awsome! Obv Dirty Dancing is a want and so would H cos he loves the film!

In London (over the years) - Starlight Express, Oliver, Buddy, Mary Poppins, Sound of Music, Lion King (twice!)

In New York - Wicked

In Sydney - Jersey Boys

I would watch any and every musical, but I'd really love to see Les Mis. Wicked was my absolute fave.

Seen: Blood Brothers, Wicked, Chicago, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Grease, Joseph (x 3) , Evita, Dirty Dancing, Buddy Holly, Sound of Music.

Want to see: Lion King, Jersey Boys

Best: Blood Brothers, Joseph. Dirty Dancing was also great, but girly!

Wost by far: Wicked - but I know I'm about the only one who thinks it's mince.

I think Chicago would be good for a boy's first theatre trip, music and dancing is good, it has girls in suspenders and gangsters/guns etc!

I have seen:

The Lion King

Dirty Dancing

Beauty and the Beast

Never Forget

The Wedding Singer

High School Musical and HSM2

I want to see:

Jersey Boys

We Will Rock You

Grease

Joseph

The Spice Girls Musical once it's finished

I think the Lion King and Dirty Dancing were the best - DD had extra scenes which made the storyline make more sense.

I've seen: Cats, Dirty Dancing, Joseph, Lord of the Rings, Thriller, Legally Blonde (x2), Grease, Mamma Mia, and in New York we saw Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark

Want to see: Rock of Ages, Lion King, Starlight Express, Wicked, We Will Rock You, Ghost - to be honest though I'll go see any, I love going to the theatre!

My favourite was definitely Legally Blonde, beforehand I couldn't imagine how on earth a film like that could be turned into a musical and work, but it really does and the songs are so catchy.

What have you seen? Cats, Sister Act, Wicked, Mamma Mia, Lion King, Cirque du Soleil (3 times - not really a musical but it is fantastic!)

What would you like to see? Dirty Dancing, LOTR, Grease, We Will Rock You,

What has been your favourite show? Cats was fantastic and Lion King. Cirque du Soleil is out of this world.

Worst: Wicked - It was ok but I don't get the hype...

? There's a spice girls musical!?!? I am sooo there - this has made my day!

Confession - I ❤️ the spice girls movie.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! such a bad film it was good!

Wicked!

What have you seen? Gosh, loads of musicals (not all in the West End, some of them were on tour). Off the top of my head, Cats (4 times), Les Miserables (twice), Phantom, Miss Saigon, Grease, West Side Story, Blood Brothers, Wicked, Chicago, Avenue Q, Guys and Dolls, Billy Elliot, Jesus Christ Superstar, Spring Awakening. Non-musicals - Woman in Black, Yes Prime Minister.

What would you like to see? Matilda is top of my list - it's meant to be awesome. Also, Mary Poppins, Sound of Music, Lion King and Singin' in the Rain.

What has been your favourite show? Les Mis is still my absolute favourite, though OH hates it. It is LONG, and not as happy-clappy as most other musicals, but I think it's amazing and the music is awesome. Miss Saigon was also fantastic and Blood Brothers too, but in a very different way. I was disappointed by Wicked after all the hype.

I havent' seen any shows in the West End [:'(]

Would love to see Phantom and Love Never Dies, Wicked and Mary Poppins.

Exactly. The fact it was so awful and I think they knew that too just bad it ten times better.

*goes off to see if they sell it on dvd*

I've come across this just as i've literally booked tickets next month for Woman in Black (up to 50% off!!)

Seen: Blood Brothers, Dirty Dancing, Wicked, Joseph, Lion King, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest & Phantom of The Opera, Rock Horror Show (more than once!)

Would like to see: Billy Elliott, Wizard of Oz, oh, and Shrek!!

What has been your favourite: I've loved them all for different reasons.....Joseph was probably my least favourite!

My OH bought the tickets to Dirty Dancing for us a few years ago. He had never been to see a show and has absolutely loved going since (clearly a guilty pleasure for him!! ?)

I loved the animals in the Lion King too!!

The Producers.

I have never been to the West End as such, but love shows. Am going to see sweeney Todd at the Adelphi after the honeymoon (is that West End?) and very excited.

Have seen Phantom and am going again next week, Lion King which was amazing, Guys and Dolls, fab, The Producers which was really funny, Chicago imo quite dull, Joseph which was cheesy, Fame was OK, Beauty and the Beast which was spectacular.

Miss Saigon is brilliant and my all time favourite, I saw it about 6 times while it was on here!

Oooh I've just remember I've seen Spamalot too and that was my favourite one.

I don't think I've laughed so much - my cheeks were hurting afterwards

Ive seen Miss Saigon, Blood Brothers, Grease, Cats, Wizard of Oz, Billy Elliot, Les mis, Jesus Christ Superstar (this wasn't west end though)

Would like to see, Dirty Dancing, Wicked, Oliver

Favourite, Blood Brothers, Les Mis

Have seen Chicago (not impressed), Dirty Dancing, Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia!

Seeing DD again in Cardiff in November (cant wait).

Watched Mamma Mia in New York and was totally awesome being on Broadway.

Fave - would be a toss up between DD and Mamma Mia (MM being slightly ahead as it was on Broadway!)

I have seen - Cats, Chicago, Guys and Dolls, Wicked, Starlight Express and Phantom

Would love to see - The Lion King

My favourite is Cats, I even have the DVD

What have you seen? Erm... too many! From memory (and probably forgetting some) Cats, Aspects of Love, Les Miserables, Phantom, Miss Saigon, Grease, Blood Brothers, Wicked, Jesus Christ Superstar, 5 guys named moe, Joseph, Stomp, Chess, Chitty chitty bang bang, Evita, Starlight express, dirty dancing

What would you like to see? Matilda, Mary Poppins, Lion King

What has been your favourite show? Miss Siagon! Loved it (and cried when little Tam came on at the end!) ? 5 guys is a great show too, and i loved starlight. I was very disappointed by Les Mis (though loved the music)!

Over the years I've seen: Chicago, Cats, Mamma Mia, The Producers, Spamalot, My Fair Lady, Saturday Night Fever, Guys and Dolls,

Non musicals: Noises Off (a farce which I think is back on again now and is very funny), The Ladykillers

I've heard good things about One Man Two Guvnors (again non musical)

I'd like to see Wicked and Les Miserables and the Lion King

Can't decide on my favourites - lots of good things about most of them. Only one I wasn't that much of a fan of was Saturday Night Fever but that was MIL's choice to go (for her birthday) not mine.

I've seen Saturday Night Fever (with the lovely Adam Garcia), Grease, Fame x2, Mamma Mia and Stomp.

Want to see the Lion King, Phantom, Chicago, Oliver and prob a few more!

All time fav is Fame, Stomp was better than I thought and Mr C liked it even though he hates the theatre!!

Seen;

Cats, Miss Saigon, Phantom, Chicago, Starlight Express, Jospeh, Mamma Mia, Saturday Night Fever,Oliver, Les Mis, The Lion King and Grease (there have probably been more thats all I can remember for now)

My fave was Chicago but more for the Fosse choreography (not sure Mr Flow is into that?) Maybe don't take him to a musical as it may be too much if he has never been? What about a straight play like War Horse?

Seen: Cats, Miss Saigon, Starlight Express, Grease (with Craig Mac whatever Aussie bloke Neighbours or Home & Away?), Joseph (with Philip Schofield), Chicago, Mamma Mia, Buddy Holly, My Fair Lady, Sunday in the Park with George (dragged along by ex on the hottest day in the world ever, tube wasn't fun that day!).

Ex also dragged me along to an opera by Philip Glass. Far too long, uncomfy seats (numb bum!), it was also sung in Sanskrit (an ancient language) so they put some subtitles up on a screen but cos he was a skin flint we were again up in the gods and there was a bar blocking out the subtitles! Wish I'd taken along a book to read during the performance!

Best: Cats & Starlight Express. Chicago was pretty good too - our seats were up in the gods but in the theatre it was in and with the set it was probably the best place to sit.

Would love to see: Lion King, Phantom, Les Mis

I've seen: Lion King, We Will Rock You, Mary Poppins, Les Mis (x2), Wicked (x5!), The Producers, Rent, Avenue Q, Zorro, Shrek, Phantom of The Opera, Fame, Aspects of Love, Joseph, Spamalot, Matilda, The Wizard of Oz, Little shop of Horrors, Legally Blonde...I think that's all!

Wicked is great...I have never spoken to anyone who hasn't enjoyed it.

Musically, Les Mis or Phantom are my favourites.

Law Will Rock You is fab, ESP if you like Queen.

I really want to see Singing In The Rain and Sweeny Todd. And am seeing Jersey Boys in June.

I've only seen The Lion King.. 3 times so far. They are bringing it to Manchester at the end of this year so I will be seeing it for a 4th time if I can get tickets. Absolutely amazing.

There's not many that I haven't seen. Matilda and Shrek are on "my list".

Mary Poppins was my favourite. I felt like a child watching it!

I love musicals so I've seen quite a few. Miss Saigon, Les Mis, Lion King, Mary Poppins, west side story, 42nd street, the king and I, phantom, joseph, Jesus Christ Superstar, blood brothers, singing in the rain, billy elliot, chicargo, we will rock you, mama mia, dirty dancing. I have also seen a few amateur production of stuff like hello dolly. I saw Memphis on broadway which was awesome.

I think the best ones were Memphis, miss Siagon and singing in the rain.

I'd like to see Cats, Wicked, matilda, whistle down the wind and evita.

My Mum runs theatre trips, so I've been lucky...

Favourite - Les Mis (you may have guessed), and Mary Poppins (even my H said to me 'that was magic')

Worst - Chicago - hated it, but then The Hoff was in it, so no great surprise!

What would you like to see? Wicked, Dirty Dancing
