I'm not a great theatre goer but Stomp is different and very entertaining.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

The best musical I have seen recently was Avenue Q but that has gone off on tour now so not on in London.
Blood Brothers is another one I'd single out as being very good indeed.
Of the rest, Les Mis is pretty good, Phantom of the Opera is ok, other than that the current crop are fairly average IMO.
There are some fairly good plays on. 39 Steps and The Mousetrap are the two I've seen. Also the Railway Children which was very good (in the old Eurostar platforms) but I think is about to finish."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is?

My wife took me to see the Mousetrap a couple of years ago for my birthday and St Martin's Lane Theatre is by far THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE auditorium/cinema/theatre seating I have ever experienced, play was fab when I could switch my focus from how painful the seating was.

I really fancy seeing War Horse (play not movie), so if you stump up for a couple of tickets I'll accompany Mrs PSB and you can go to the pub. Everyone's a winner!+50 Xeno Geek Points

A musical? Why don't you pop down your local, have a chat with the local hard man and buy yourself a shooter. Blow your brains out for a more pleasurable and economical break.
How about going to Stratford (upon Avon) to see something?Comment
