To ask which theatre shows you’ve seen this year?

[AllaMova]

This year, I’ve seen:

Pride: The Musical
Phantom of the Opera in London
Under Milk Wood
I also streamed National Theatre’s The Importance of Being Earnest at home, but not sure if it counts.

I also have these booked for this year:

Oliver! In London
Operation Mincemeat
Owain and Henry

Hadestown (school production)
Matilda (ditto)
Spy who came in from the cold - which my teens loved
Midsomer murders - ditto
Small Island
Constant Wife
Percy Jackson the musical
The complete works of Shakespeare, abridged

All outside of London,

We had front row seats for Shadowlands at the weekend.

The only other one I've seen so far this year was Dear England.

Fiddler on the roof, Six and Miss Saigon.. Me and two of my grown kids go for Xmas and our birthdays, we do sit in cheapest seats, wasn't a fan of Miss Saigon🙁

Kinky boots in January, got Moulin Rouge and phantom of the opera booked for june. Susan calman comedian & cats booked for oct & Dec & the lion king for sep.
For those saying ticket prices, go for the cheap seats. I think im doing phantom of the opera for £28 & lion king for £30

Already seen:
Mousetrap
Top Hat
I’m Sorry Prime Minister
Copenhagen
Shadowlands
Matilda

Booked:
The Marquise
High Society
Allegra
Our Man in Havana

Wasn’t it incredible?! I’ll go again if it moves to London (would have gone again in Stratford but it’s completely sold out). Mark Gatiss winked at me (was at the front, but side on)!

Gabby's dollhouse live... 🙄

The Mousetrap. Enjoyed the production but MY GOD those seats are uncomfortable.

Yes! I managed to get tickets to go again tomorrow night but sadly had to return them.
A wink from MG! Brilliant!

Oh I forgot I am also going to see Susan calman in September ! Can't believe i forgot😳

I have seen :

the gruffalo’s child
Tales from acorn wood
The tiger who came to tea

In our local theatre
Spitfire girls
Under Millwood
Our town
Glitch about the postoffice scandal
Twelfth Night
Macbeth
Miss saigon
Sherlock Holmes and hunt for Moriaty

Well in fairness, Americans get so much grief on here for being 'unrefined' that I assumed this just was another 'Europeans are so much more advanced' post—which frankly always gets my hackles up. Also, I don't even live in the UK (which you'd be able to tell if you read my original post!)

Operation Mincemeat
Mathilda
A YA one at the lowry
A local one my friend was in

Just booked cursed child and stranger things London trip in summer

Got summer plan to see Greece the musical by the goes wrong show company mischief theatre.

Looking for London recs on here.

I’ve seen Anastasia and The Lion King. I’m going to see Anastasia again in a few weeks with DD as I bought two lots of tickets by mistake, not sure how that happened!

Had tickets for Pretty Woman but was in hospital so had to give them away.

Went to a school performance of Beauty and the beast last week and left at the interval.

Just bought tickets for The Nutcracker ballet in December.

I’d love to see Fiddler on the Roof on stage (I loved the film!) I think it toured near me last year, but I missed it.

Speaking from experience, theatre tickets make the best Christmas and birthday gifts. 🙂

Just Here & Now the Steps Musical

Absolutely bloody brilliant!
I would absolutely go again!
I am really sad that it's only on for a finite time!!

Last month - The Wooster Group: Nayatt School Redux. Not sure the humour translated across ocean and decades.

This month - Escaped Alone.
Epic - even in Italian with English surtitles.

Both at The Coronet, Notting Hill.

Also recently: All My Sons - National Theatre streamed at my local cinema. Outstanding ensemble casting and a beautiful production.

(I dislike the West End theatre experience and actively avoid it even though I can access discounted tickets.)

It wasn't meant to be smug - quite the opposite - would have loved to have read the outsiders and other books like it - already said I was jealous you went to see it at the theatre
Having to stick to the 'classics' wasn't exciting or mind opening
Sorry you were offended as it was not intended

Book ahead. I booked a year in advance and got stalls for £70. It’s open for booking currently until 2028 I think.

My neighbour Tortoro.
I have tickets for Hot Mess which I saw last year and LOVED and now it’s back. I have the National Theatre at home app. Recently watched Death of England closing Time.

Oh I love hobsons choice (and Hebden bridge).

How was The Spy… ?
We’re off to see it this week in Liverpool.

I'm interested how they transfer the book & film to the stage and if Ralf Little can do ‘serious’.

@tanstaafl
I found it very engaging and the time flew past. I must admit, I didn't know the book and I got the tickets primarily for DH as he is a Smiley fan. Luckily he really enjoyed it as well.
Hope you like it!

I know that’s what you said, which is why I was confused when it suddenly seemed to go from “I’d love to see The Outsiders” to “lol Americans are dumb, we only read classics in middle school,” because frankly that’s how 99% of posts about Americans usually go. 😭 No worries though. I genuinely hope you get to see it someday!! (And definitely listen to the cast album and read the book!!!)
