To ask for help deciding on a London theatre show?

I really can’t decide, the more I look into London shows, the more get added to my wishlist.

So far, I have seen: Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake, Wicked, Nye, Calamity Jane, The Lion King, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Beautiful and Motown: The Musical. There must be others that I’ve forgotten about too.

My top contenders this time round are: The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton and the Book of Mormon.

The Phantom of the Opera is amazing!

I enjoyed Book of Mormon.

I loved Matilda.

On my list for this year is Pride the Musical.

We’re going to book to see Pride: The Musical too. Thanks for the reminder, I should book the tickets very soon.

Phantom! It's a classic.

Loved Hamilton - so good I’ve seen it a few times, and would go again.

Wasn’t remotely fussed by Book of Mormon.

Haven’t seen Phantom, but it’s on my list.

Hamilton and Matilda are both absolutely fantastic
