Any play or musical you really enjoyed.
Does not necessarily have to be showing right in the West End either.

very underwhelmed by six - waste of time and money for me
Delighted to hear this and the other negative views on here. I would love to see it, but can't get over the writer's views on JK Rowling being allowed to express her opinions.

Recently seen 2.22 - fantastic
Crown Jewels - pants!

Les Mis everytime!

I didn't enjoy Hamilton at all as the seating was soooooo uncomfortable. I'm only 5ft 3 and there was no leg room at all (stalls) it really spoiled the whole experience.

Recently watched 2.22, it was ok but probably wouldn't recommend it.

I want to see SIX next

Operation Mincemeat and Cabaret are both absolutely sensational.

Interesting, I was going to say book the stalls for Hamilton, we were row B of the dress circle. Best seats in the house for the view but my legs were so numb by the end I nearly fell into the row in front when standing! I'm short enough I don't normally have an issue with legroom but it was pretty much non existent.

The Lion King
Six
School of Rock - is great if it's still on

School of rock closed just before lockdown, but might be touring. If so I'd add that to the list.

I’ve just checked it out and it says it’s an immersive experience.
I would die if someone came up to me asking a question.
or it only that the public vote at the end?

We went for DH's birthday and thought it was brilliant. It's immersive in that you are in the big county hall chamber with the actors at times walking among you, and it's staged in the round, but you won't have to say anything unless you are the foreman of the jury. We were in the jury box and as it was his birthday DH was the foreman - he did have to stand to deliver a verdict 😁😁 Highly recommend going!

@MCOut a strange Loop is genius and brilliantly performed but very disturbing/ upsetting in places. I’m glad I saw it but didn’t “enjoy” it.

I’ve loved:

Six
Hamilton
Moulin Rouge
Matilda

I felt similar. I loved the concept with the thoughts for example and how he managed to get laughs out of me, but it was dark. It felt like moments when you laugh because otherwise you’ll cry.
