What theatre productions are you looking forward to booking for 2026?

[FatCatSkinnyRat]

My DH and I have started going to the theatre Saturday matinees more regularly now our kids are older teens and we can leave them home alone on Saturday afternoons!!

We have booked Dracula so far as Australian friends have raved about it but wondering what else is coming out that people are excited about?

Thank you, I decided against the cinema stream and will look out for a live production, I’m on lots of mailing lists so I will keep my eyes peeled.

Coming back to say Into the Woods at the Bridge is absolutely brilliant- highly recommend it.

Oh good. We’re in London for a few days and have booked to see it, it’s a bit outside our usual fare.

Those of you into opera, are tte Ellen Kent Farewell tour shows any good? I’ve heard mixed reviews. My daughter is starting to get into opera, she’s only 13 so I’m worried if it’s a “boring” production visually, it might put her off…

Going to try to book 'Into the Woods' soon at the Bridge Theatre. I'm sure 17 yo will want to see it with me, not sure about husband and DS.

They are not usually boring visually, in fact they always used to be full of gimmicks like live animals on stage. The quality of the performers are not the same as a more esteemed opera company. They a

my daughter performed in two of them as a child (Aida & La Tosca) & I also chaperoned a group of children for La Boheme & Carmen. This was in the mid 2000s. Using local dance school children & often adult supernumaries was another gimmick but Dd loved the experience. In Aida she was one of a group of 4 child ballet dancers & in Tosca she was part of a 12 strong choir.

Oooh I’m there in a couple of weeks! Can’t wait!

👍 very good!

Saw it last and absolutely loved it.

A few F and S words in it.

Anyone been to see paranormal activity?
Dd 20 wants to go.
Is it scary? I am the type of person that can't even go on a ghost train at the fair.

I’ve just been to see Prima Facie this evening on the opening night of its tour - Jodie Comer is phenomenal

Just back from Into The Woods at The Bridge. Absolutely fantastic, so glad I went. Laughed out loud in the first act and was genuinely moved in the second. Get a ticket if you can!

Lion Ling Sat matinee in February 🦁👑

Added a few to our calendar.
DD and I are now going to
Miss Saigon in April.
Operation Mincemeat in May.

And she's bought us tickets to Sweeny Todd in Birmingham in July. V excited now they've released the cast of the lead as he's an ex-Phantom of the Opera who she'd love to see.

I must stop buying tickets!

Last night was Lost Atoms at Lyric Hammersmith

I have tickets for Harold Fry, Inter Alia, Summerfolk, Teeth’n’Smiles .

Saw Playboy of the Western World the other week.

Loved Kenrex, it was spellbinding and so well executed. Also liked The Other Palace theatre - it was comfortable and even the cheaper seats are good. Have booked another performance there that has good reviews too, a comedy (Josh Tothill) - think this has transferred from the Edinburgh fringe. Will report back.

Bought Into the Woods tickets on the strength of this thread! Looking forward to it.

Oh my goodness, Arcadia was brilliant. So funny and really moving in the end. Excellent staging.

Very glad to hear that, @ElizabethVonArnim - I’m going next week!

Harold Fry is fantastic. Funny, heartbreaking, extraordinary design, witty, brilliant music by Passenger

I've been contemplating this for a while. I think I'll add it to the list.

@FollowSpot what did you think of Playboy of The Western World?

Oh good, I'm going in a couple of weeks.

I'm going to see Annie!

Looks like I am going to see Once on This Island on Sunday. Just need to arrange a hotel.

I’ve just seen Mattgew Boyrne’s The Red Shoes. It was fantastic, I highly recommend it.

Bourne, even!
