London what play or musical would you HIGHLY recommend for me and DH

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

Going to London with DH love musicals but fancy a play...hes not keen...what have you seen any recently and would highly recommend?

Or a musical see most any yoy'd recommend??

Hamilton.

Not sure which of these are still in London and which are touring...

Book of Mormon - my OH is not a musical kind of guy but he loved this
Moulin Rouge - fun and a bit sexy
Hamilton - if he's interested in history
War Horse - Haven't ever heard a bad word said about it
The Car Man - a friend raves about it. It's on my to see list

DH hates hiphop rapping etc but thanks for the recommendation

Electra/Persona at the NT. Cate Blanchett, Nina Hoss and Ella Lily Hyland

Abigail’s Party. You won’t want it to end.

Loved the 70s tv one...not sure play would do it justice it's a classic 'play for today' and not sure Tamasin O would fit the bill

I also hate hip hop and rapping yet somehow thought Hamilton was the best musical I've ever seen!

Les Mis.

The Book of Mormon is absolutely hilarious. I’d happily see it again.

Hades Town is splendid

Book of Mormon
Play that goes wrong

My DH enjoyed both

Hades Town was fantastic, I also love Hamilton and took a friend who doesn’t like hip hop and rapping but she loved it.

Paddington

Even for adults. Honestly

I’m not a fan of hers but she was superb.

Neither does DH but he loved Hamilton.

Sold out. Some tickets are available for upwards of £240.

Edit it's fabulous my daughter and her partner have been.

Cabaret

Love Operation Mincement, just seen it for the second time

Beetlejuice. It’s hilarious!

Cabaret. Best production I've seen in decades.

Go early, have a few drinks as you go through the levels of the theatre before the show.

Amazing.

The Truth with Stephen Mangan & Ardal O'Hanlon

Witness for the Prosecution, a real crowd pleaser

Operation Mincemeat is brilliant!

Hadestown was brilliant, if you like Greek myths. Amazing music.
I found Book of Mormon quite boring.

I would never choose to listen to rap music, and probably not hip hop either - but I LOVED Hamilton. It is so clever and so well performed.
But I wouldn’t recommend trying to get a ticket in the next 2 weeks, as one of the original cast is currently in it (until early Sept) and tickets are very scarce and expensive.
