Fortunately the very fact that shows can become big money losers means that a great deal of care and attention is paid before any show opens in London. London is swimming with reviewers ready to get their claws out, so a show has to come out all guns blazing. When shows do start with a bang therefore, they tend to run and run. Critics were left so enraptured by Tracie Bennett's bravura performance as Judy Garland in End Of The Rainbow that it had to be extended and is now Broadway bound. Audiences have taken to spooky play Ghost Stories because it delivers something different, and that has reaped similar rewards. Reviews are a great barometer for what you should see when you come to the capital, but refer to a mix of sources as one man's meat is another man's poison.
Word of mouth recommendations are even better. It's always nice to be guided towards a great show by someone you know personally who has loved something…but even nicer to be the one to discover the gems yourself. How fun is it to be able to come back from a London trip to say you managed to get tickets to see such and such a star and be the envy of your friends, or to be credited with being the first of your circle to discover the new hit-to-be? If you book to see multiple shows during your theatre break london is more than likely to deliver a whole hoard of differing treats for you to enjoy…and then rub in the faces of jealous friends. It's win win!
