....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.

Hi-5
This Friday - managed to 'do a deal' with MelbourneMum. She was going to throw the tickets in the bin because she couldn't go

Saw the Vagina Monologues a couple of years ago and it was great!!
I'm going to see Wicked next week - SO excited!! Have had the soundtrack for about a year and will probably be the saddo singing along. My sister is coming too and she'll be mortified!

Have recently been to see Sound of Music and Joseph both were fantastic.
Also booked to see Hairspray and Dirty Dancing, Lee Evans and the here and now tour featuring six 80's acts including Bananarama and Abc. Would love to go and see Wicked so lets us know what it's like Lizzzombie

My MIL must have some good points if she bought us those tickets.

Evenhope, about Fairport, I havn't been to see them for a couple of years now and really miss the annual event.

I am going to see Hamlet performed by the Factory ( theatre group with a different take on the traditional show) saw it last year and can't wait to go again as every show has different actors playing the parts and props provided by the audience.
