Evita at the Adelphi Theatre

Eva Peron used her beauty and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady. She won international acclaim and adoration from her own people as a champion of the poor whilst glamour, power and greed made her the world's first major political celebrity. With its multi award winning production team and hot new orchestrations EVITA tells her passionate and tragic story through Andrew Lloyd Webber's most dazzling score and Tim Rice's most famous lyrics. EVITA originally ran in London for 7 Years and won the Olivier award for Musical of the Year and 7 Tony Awards on Broadway. Songs include: Don't Cry For Me Argentina, Another Suitcase In Another Hall, High Flying Adored, Oh What A Circus together with the Oscar winning song from the film, You Must Love Me.

Dirty Dancing at the Aldwych Theatre

That was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me baby and it didn’t occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy got shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn’t wait to join the Peace Corps and I thought Id never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellermans. Experience the excitement and romance of the blockbuster film, live on stage. Featuring the hit songs from the best selling movie soundtrack of all time including Time of My Life, Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby and Do You Love Me, First dance. First love. You’ll have the time of your life.

Wicked at the Apollo Victoria

Wicked, the spell-binding and spectacular hit musical, is the untold story of the legendary witches from L. Frank Baum’s classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years.

WICKED, the untold story of the witches of Oz, features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin) and is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire.
Recommended age for children is 8 and over and no children under 4 will be admitted.

The Sound of Music at the London Palladium

The Sound of Music was one of the best-known musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein, whose other collaborations included The King and I, Oklahoma and South Pacific. Based on the 1949 book The Von Trapp Family Singers, written by Maria Von Trapp about her real-life experiences as a trainee nun who falls in love with a widowed naval captain and his children in pre-war Austria, The Sound of Music opened in 1959 on Broadway, where it ran for 1,443 performances and won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
