Which London show?

[jorm35]

Taking the family to London at Easter and we want to take in a show - trouble is we don't know which one! Ideally would love Aladdin but cannot justify the cost 🙁 We are - me, dh, ds17, ds12 & dd10. Any recommendations? Ps we've already seen lion king. Thanks

See more...

Aladdin is worth the money if you can find a way!

If not, Wicked is great, and so is The Woman in Black (although this one may depend on your 10 year old!)

Wicked is really good as is wizard of oz. Charlie and chocolate factory was great too. We saw Matilda last time and were pleasantly surprised

My daughters going to see wicked in August ... her boyfriends taking her for her birthday not sure it's really his cup of tea but my daughter can't wait... if he changes his mind I'd happily have the spare ticket lol x

I've seen wicked with friends and although I think the kids would enjoy it, dh isn't keen 😕

[janeg88]

I loved wicked but neither DH or DS were blown away by it!

DS has lived Les Mis since he was about 8!

Really enjoyed Beautiful but probably not what you're after.

I agree Aladdin was worth every penny!

School of rock is getting good reviews? Haven't seen it yet though, I liked Matilda too, but dd 16 wasn't as keen?

I agree that London theatre prices are mad. Try lastminute.com or the half price ticket booth in Leicester Square (you have to physically go there ). A company we used recently for Whoopi Goldberg tickets was viagogo. We got tickets at less than half price.

Can highly recommend school of rock, wicked and Charlie and the chocolate factory. Sunny afternoon was also very good, one adultish themed scene, so use your own judgement with children. We took DS when he was 13. Tickets for that one are usually reasonably priced.
Have a look on evening standard tickets or last minute.com
