At last a man's show! I plan to see it in 50 years time.

Try the Old Vic too. What ever is on there is usually good.

Well I went to see Wicked with gf Platypus and I thought it was fantastic. So I went again with daughter and still thought it was fantastic.

I'm curious to know how you define a women's show - one with lots of singing and dancing?

You get some interesting stuff for £10 on lastminute.com Basically 'fringe' plays and shows in various locations, generally non-west end but not too far away.

Not really a fan of mainstream musicals. Plays in the west end never seem to change either.

I went to see Les Miserables (thank you NotAllThere) and the Lion King, both really good shows. Nice to have a chance to dress-up.

Obviously not in touch with your feminine side then dazza...

If it's not your great aunt and whoever it is would be amused by a bit if sexual innuendo & social commentary, Avenue Q?

My wife went to see Mamma Mia with a friend, a bit obvious I know but she rated it as the best musical she had seen and she's a bit of an musical addict.

I took the wife to see Wicked! I thought I'd hate it but it was actually ok.

There are plenty of good musicals, plays and entertainment. Leicester Square is full of 24 hour entertainment, and you don't even have to pay for it. However, if you want a musical...there's plenty of that around. It depends on what you like.
