I have just come out of Fawlty Towers in Southampton. It was great and the actors playing basil, Sybil and manuel were fantastic. Basil in particular. He had the physical comedic abilities of John Cleese down to a t. I want to see Annie and Operation Mincemeat also. I don’t go to the theatre very often but feel like I have to go more often.

We saw Matilda last week which was just incredible, and have got tickets for Legally Blonde in April & Six in October. Me and DD10 have definitely got the bug!

Brokeandold · 07/03/2026 16:41

Went to see Harold Fry last Saturday, it was amazing! I’ve read the book, seen the film, have the CD so I was expecting alot and I wasn't disappointed.
A very emotional roller coaster, laughing, crying, our DD (15) came with me and she loved every minute, her favourite was Noah Mullins, he has an amazing voice!
As we left we saw Passenger, he was very kind and said we could have a selfie, a fantastic day for us.

Um... are there any Owain & Henry seats left? It was looking pretty full when I booked a few weeks back, just after I saw Our Town in Mold.

I try to go to the theatre a lot, but I don't go nearly as much as I used to pre covid, prices have risen a lot and there is far less on that appeals to me these days, I find. I still have quite a few things booked:

Saw Ballet Shoes at the NT twice in January
Our Town @ Theatr Clwyd last month
Ladies Football Club and Living next week, both in Sheffield
Arturo Ui at the RSC in April
May is busy -
Small Island in Nottingham
By a Lady in Buxton
Malory Towers in Coventry
Spitfire Girls in Scarborough
Then in June, Malory Towers again in Manchester
Cherry Orchard at the RSC in July
Pride and Prejudice (*sort of) in October in Buxton
Owain v Henry in Cardiff in November

My absolute favourite thing I've seen in recent years is the Pride and Prejudice sort of, which i adore. I've seen i think 3 casts now. I first saw it before covid, then again during when it was in London, then multiple times in several places when it's toured since.

Show quote history

Yes, I just booked mine - great seats too. They added extra show dates due to its popularity.

HAMILTON - Leslie of course. I have seen it several times already but absolutely must go again this summer!

Nothing else on my radar yet

JustMeHello · 07/03/2026 16:24

Ballet Shoes was so good. I really loved it. I saw it last year too, and think I preferred the second cast. I don't go to London often, and managed to get bargain £30 front row seats that were cheaper because of them being a bit narrower and having low backs, but they were fine, and at least a third of the cost of normal seats.

Fallulah · 07/03/2026 16:21

Paddington - the tickets are far too expensive at the moment,

Ballet Shoes was just fabulous.

BFG - am hoping they bring it out either on tour or to London like they did with Matilda.

JustMeHello · 07/03/2026 16:18

Ooh sorry, just saw you got the O.H tickets, well done!

I have Phantom of the Opera and Pride: The Musical booked, which are within the next few weeks.

I’ll also buy tickets for Operation Mincemeat and Owain and Henry soon, which are later on in the year.

What about you?

We saw Ballet Shoes a couple of weeks ago (it was wonderful) and have Six and Operation Mincemeat booked. Plus a GCSE focussed production of Macbeth which may be more if a trial than a pleasure ! Really wanted to see The Greatest Showman but it sold out almost immediately.

Itsnotallaboutyoulikeyouthink · 07/03/2026 15:57

We have done legally blonde already this year, wicked in August and Annie next year .

Merryoldgoat · 07/03/2026 15:55

Just saw Giselle at ROH (fab).

Operation Mincemeat was amazing.

Desperate to see Hamilton with Leslie Odom Jnr this summer (would be my 3rd time seeing Ham).

Catspace · 07/03/2026 15:54

Went to see Oliver! in December. Going to see Les Mis again in May

bruffin · 07/03/2026 15:51

This year have seen Paddington and Harold Fry and matthew bournes Red Shoues
Have tickets for Beetlejuice, Cats and Avenue Q and Matthew Bourne Car Man

FrothyCothy · 07/03/2026 15:46

another one who’ll be trying for Hamilton tickets - would be my third trip, DD1’s second and DD2’s first.

we have Mrs Doubtfire booked for later in the year.

I promised my mum a theatre trip for Christmas but can’t decide on what to watch so will look up some of the recs on this thread - Teeth and Smiles was one on my maybe list.

We saw it a few years ago.It's mesmerising Just loved it, we still talk about it now.
Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is just the most amazing ballet I have ever seen.

Show quote history

I loved Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake, it was my first ballet and it was so special.

My DM just bought my tickets to see Owain and Henry for my birthday, bless her. I’m so excited to see it. I love Michael Sheen, who will be playing Owain!

snowymarbles · 07/03/2026 14:44

I have a few booked mostly with my dd(s)

Waitress
Greatest Showman
Heathers
Legally Blond
Paddington

my dd both want to see Hamilton again with Leslie Odom Jr but I’m guessing will be pricey and we only saw it last summer.

Yoyokitten · 07/03/2026 14:34

Sorry, mesmerising I meant.
Hope you enjoy it.

curtaintwitcher78 · 07/03/2026 13:16

I've seen it twice. It's amazing.

Book of Mormon is great, as is Operation mincemeat.

The National Theatre is usually good for anything, especially for a DH over 6’. Lots of leg room.

AmyWinemouse · 07/03/2026 14:22

I’m going to see Oliver! next week. Taking my mum for afternoon tea at Claridges first, so hoping I don’t nod off in a post pig out snooze 😂
