To think you don't have to be "cultured" to enjoy a West End Show

Relatives coming over from Australia soon. The adults emigrated as kids, they now have teenage children who have never been to the UK.

They are spending 4 nights of their trip staying in Central London, in the heart of theatreland. I came across an offer for cheap theatre tickets so sent to them in case it was useful. They replied "no thanks - too cultural for us!" and went on to say they would be busy every evening looking at Christmas lights.

Obviously, each to their own, but I feel a bit sad they'll be missing out on some great shows, many of which I definitely wouldn't describe as "cultural", especially as it looks like a great deal.

Oh well.....

I felt very high brow going to see frozen in the theatre 😂

joking aside I love going to shows, if I could afford it I’d be at one a week but many of my friends would rather have their fingernails pulled off. Just different interests really. I don’t consider myself more cultured or anything of the sort. I just like going to shows
