....and it doesnt have to be cultural. Can be fun or for the family or deep. We could keep the thread going and write short reviews on the shows as to whether it was any good or not.

We went to see Brian Conley in Cinderella at the Wycombe Swan yesterday which was fab.

I have booked 'Harry and his Bucketful of dinosaurs' in Feb at Camberley.

I'm going to see "Wicked" in February! So excited. Has anyone else seen it yet?

I saw the clip from it on Ugly Betty, and can't wait for a night out up in London!

Vagina Monologues is fantastic ! Also the Pupperty of the Penis was quite good too

I am going to see Lee Mead in Joseph next month - which I hope will be fab.

am booked for Sunday am to see High School Musical on Ice at Manchester Arena for dd's 8th birthday.

a dramatic cut above Hamlet, n'est-ce pas??

though I can't decide, really.

purplemonkeydishwasher · 09/01/2008 08:51

saltire.

very VERY VERY

ruty · 09/01/2008 08:53

Warhorse at the National. And my mate's in it.
It has stunning reviews though.

Oenophile · 09/01/2008 09:22

I'm going to see Joseph at Malvern, with one of the runners-up from the find-a-Joseph thing, it's so much closer to us than London I couldn't resist it. Seen Joseph before and it's always a great show.

Am very tempted by the thought of David Tennant in Hamlet cos well Hamlet is one of those things you definitely should 'see before you die' isn't it? Nothing to do with DT of course

speak2deb · 09/01/2008 09:23

The 39 Stes at the Criteron. Supposed to be funny.
