Frozen? (For children?)

What would be your choice? Any other recommendations.

I've seen Book of Mormon, Les Mis, Phantom and Kinky Boots.

Also, where is the best place to buy tickets from. Tia.

Out of your list I really didn't enjoy Wicked or Jersey Boys (I know, shoot me now!)

Love love loved Come From Away and got £15 tickets through a special offer on the Today Tix app so that might be worth looking at.

We have box seats for Hamilton for the summer which cost £37.50 each so a bit of a bargain there I think.

Saw Six on tour this week and that was also amazing. Such high energy and really funny.

We also have &Juliet on our list for the summer which gets great reviews. It is a jukebox musical which doesn't usually float my boat but I do fancy this one.

I have to echo the Come From Away love. And it is a short show so you could easily see a matinee and another show in the evening!

Yes, Wicked is off the list for now. It's quite exciting to just see what's available and see how it plans out, although I might book something for first night. Looking at Grease atm. Excited!

I wouldn't scrub Wicked off the list just because a few people here have said they don't like it, it's one of the world's most popular musicals! Lots of people love it, in fact this thread is the first time I've seen the opposite. I think it is superb, there's a reason I've picked it as my son's first theatre experience!

(Just to add that I'm not saying anyone's opinion is wrong, it's all super subjective! Just saying I wouldn't cross off the list without knowing more about how your likes compare with everyone else's more generally and maybe look at reviews online for a broader consensus)

Yeah it's difficult to know. I've read more reviews, but will just see what happens when I'm there. A magical mystery theatre trip!

We’ve got box seats for Hamilton over Easter. It said restrictive viewing but I’m curious to know as the pics on seatplan are good. Which box do you have?

I’ve seen &Juliet twice and I’d jump at the chance at seeing again. It really is a great show. I’m not a fan of Shaftesbury Theatre though, one of the most uncomfortable I’ve been in.

We're in the Grand Circle box D I think. There are so many good reviews for them. Apparently it feels like you are sat on the stage and there are only small parts at extreme stage right and left that you can't see.

I'm not sure if you have kids with you, but if not 2:22 is worth the watch!
