Theatre Breaks in London with the kids - top 5 shows this summer. June 20, 2008

Posted by Linda in : Grease, High School Musical, Musicals, joseph, lion king, opinion, theatre breaks in London, wicked , add a comment

A theatre break in London with the kids sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it? There’s so much to do and see in London, even in a British summer. The hotels aren’t too expensive and you can book the whole thing, show tickets, 2 or 3 nights hotel, extras as an all in one package, you can even include the return rail fare. If your children are over the age of 3 you should be able to find a show to suit your family.

So which shows do you go to see?

It really depends on the age of the children and their interests.
Don’t be put off by worries that the shows will all be sold out, companies that sell packages often have good, reasonably priced tickets for hit shows when no one else does.

The Lion King

The Lion King is pure Disney and one of the best shows for mixed ages. The Lion King is so much more than the cartoon. The story is simple and familiar but the spectacle and the power of the live music makes it really something special. Ideal for boys, girls, and just about anyone who likes animals!It is long though and that partly explains the age restrictions (see below).

Ideal for 7 plus, below 7 use your discretion but be realistic. Under 4s will not be admitted to the theatre. They are quite strict about this.

** book Lion King theatre breaks **

Joseph

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s version of the biblical story is a family classic. Good for mixed ages the show has plenty of action, strong, well-known songs and is performed by a lively, young cast. Joseph was originally written for children the show keeps their interest well but has enough going on to keep the adults involved too. If you want to see Lea Mead you should know he will be on holiday 28th July - 5th August 2008.

** book Joseph theatre breaks **

Wicked

Wicked is ideal for those of you with pre and early teen girls. They will love it! The story is set in Oz before Dorothy gets there and sets out to explain why Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of The West is so wicked and so very green. Wicked sets the record straight about that poor, misunderstood witch. It has some sinister moments but nothing too scary. There aren’t any stated age restrictions but use your judgement. It is very, very long.

** book Wicked theatre breaks **

High School Musical

High School Musical - this is one that anyone between 8 and 16 will know more about than you do!Based on a hit TV series this is the story of Troy, a popular high school basketball star, and Gabriella, a shy, academically gifted newcomer, who discover they share a secret passion for singing. Lively, fun, and very American this is one that the kids (and the adults!) will either love or hate. This is the one they are likely to think is ‘cool’ to see and to brag about.

** book High School Musical theatre breaks **

Grease

We all know the story of Sandy the goody two-shoes from Australia who falls in love with bad boy Danny Zuko over the summer holiday and their reunion at Rydell High School. The songs from Grease are classics and they are sung with great energy by this lively cast. Best for 10 plus the story and music will appeal to both boys and girls. If you want to see Ray Quinn (X-Factor) remember he’s on holiday 19th-25th of August.

  • Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Matinees: Sat 3:00pm
  • Evenings:Monday to Thurs - 7.30pm, Fri - 8.30pm, Sat - 7.30pm

    Grease - Ray Quinn joins cast June 20, 2008

    Posted by Linda in : Grease, cast changes , add a comment

    Ray Quinn of X-Factor fame is making his West End debut in Grease in the role of Doody, the youngest of the boys. He will be in the show for a limited season - until 15 November 2008. Ray started his acting career in Channel 4’s Brookside and has had a No 1. Platinum selling album ‘Doing It My Way’.
    Producer David Ian says,

    “I’m absolutely thrilled. This production has been wowing audiences for 15 years now and with the terrific Ray Quinn joining us as a special guest star, I know it’s the one that audiences will want for years to come!”

    Doody

    I think Ray will be perfect for the role of Doody. He’s is the youngest of the guys, small and with a boyish air of innocence. He’s easily impressed by the guys bravado and takes them at face value.
    His main songs are Those Magic Changes, with the company, and Rock and Roll Party Queen, with Roger.

    Grease

    Say what you will about Grease, it is without doubt popular and still pulls in the crowds. It is a feel good summer musical, and often that’s just what we want!
