August Special Offer - Crazy London Hotel Deals July 26, 2008

Posted by admin in : offers , add a comment

Free London Hotel Deals

The summer sale at Show and Stay continues with the craziest London hotel deals for August. They are actually giving away one night’s stay in a posh London hotel for absolutely nothing! I don’t know how they can do it, its just mad. The only snag is that you have to sit through an entire performance at one of the West End’s top musicals. Better choose wisely then!

The Deal

It’s your chance to spend a free night in a three star London hotel after a great night out, just by buying theatre tickets for a weekday (yes, that includes Friday nights) in August 2008 out of a range of eleven of the best West End musicals or two plays (see below). In fact the offer extends right up until Friday 5th of September so this could also be very interesting to those who live just close enough to London to get home after a night out, but would relish the opportunity to stay over and do something in London the next day. You could turn an enjoyable evening at the theatre into an unforgettable city break for as little as £42.50 per person. That price would be for two people seeing The 39 Steps and then sharing a double room at the Jury’s Inn Islington.

The Hotels

You can stay in a 3* hotel from amongst the prestigious list available at Show and Stay. Some of these are closer to Theatreland whilst others are in the popular South Kensington area - it’s up to you. Or you could upgrade to a luxurious Four Star Hotel for as little as ten pounds. What?!? Ten pounds is just ridiculous, I mean you probably couldn’t get a dingy bed and breakfast in drizzly Morecombe for that price! We’re talking about prestigious international style Hotels in central London, where the jet set business community stay over and celebrities hang out.

July Offer with Free Tickets

Free Theatre Tickets Offer for July 2008

London Theatre Breaks’ main supplier Show and Stay have just improved their July offer to include eight popular shows so you can get free theatre tickets with a range of midweek hotels. By mid week we mean that you can see the show on a Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday Thursday or even on a Friday. This represents a genuine saving of up to £110 on the usual show and hotel package. Have a look now:

** Show and Stay July Offer **

Seven Hit Musicals and One Play

The list of shows included in this special July offer starts with Blood Brothers the long running musical with a great storyline by Willie Russell. Then there’s sensational Chicago, summer love in Grease, Monty Python’s Spamalot with Sanjeev as the new Arthur from the Kumars, the perrenial favourite thing Sound of Music, Ben Elton’s fabulous futuristic We will Rock You with all the anthems by Queen, a serious play which is just a little bit scary Woman in Black and the eighties throwback Never Forget with songs by Take That.

Offer Details

The special July offer is short but simple. You pick one of the eight shows listed above, and choose a weekday in July. The only restricted dates are 14th - 16th July so for parents and schoolteachers, the period between the end of summer term and the beginning of August is ideal for a quick getaway to London. By booking your theatre tickets in advance through a package like this you get top priced tickets in the stalls or dress circle, unlike some last minute deals where you end up way at the back or up in the gods.

Hotels

Hotels offered are all four star or five star such as the Crowne Plaza London St James, Millenium Baileys in Gloucester Road or the Intercontinental London Park Lane.

Crowne Plaza St James London

Rail

Adding rail vouchers to your planning is optional but if you are coming a fair old way down from Leeds, Carlisle, Doncaster, or even Birmingham Glasgow or Belfast then the savings of up to 40% on normal return rail tickets are substantial.

How to book your free tickets

To visit the July Offer page and check availability for the eight shows and more hotels you need the following link:

Never Forget - Take That rides again! February 17, 2008

Posted by admin in : Musicals, Never Forget, Savoy , add a comment

Never forget is a musical based around an unlikely Take That tribute band and their adventures as they pretend their way into and out of the limelight. We should expect a fair bit of Northern wit from the book which has been written by Danny Brocklehurst. Brocklehust is probably best known for his TV work with writing credits for Shameless and Clocking Off so don’t be surprised if it’s not totally suitable for a very young audience! These Manchester lads are going to be rough diamonds I think :-)
The music will be mostly Take That hits, of course which should make it a nostalgia fest for those of a certain age, not to mention those who were a little older but still became big fans of the boys :-) Don’t forget (lol Never forget!) Take that sold over 15 million records in their heyday (90-96) and they were back in the charts in 2007, with the number one hit Shine. (Without Robbie :-( )

All of this bodes well for the musical which will feature all the hits including “Relight My Fire”, “Pray”, and of course, “Never Forget”.

Cast

Dean Chisnall who plays leading man Ash, Craig Els, Stephane Aneli, Tim Driesen and Eaton James are all coming to the West End with the production.
