Lord of the Rings - which made its world debut in Toronto before moving to London is pretty spectacular although the word was that they were going to 'tone it down' when it left Toronto.

We Will Rock You is also pretty good if you are into Queen music. Forget the storyline which is certainly not Shakespeare (its a kind of "1984" scenario where music has been banned - written by Ben Elton), but the way they managed to fit in 30+ queen songs is pretty cool. I went to see it in Toronto and from what I hear its the same show as is playing in London.

Spamalot also got good reviews over here but didnt manage to get to see that one :(

If you like musicals, it is hard to beat Les Miserables in my opinion.  Or if you like Abba music, then Mama Mia is excellent.  Its not the story of Abba by the way, just their music woven cleverly into a story about a young girl who is about to be married.  If you look in the weekend supplements of the Times or Telegraph, you will often see package deals for these shows combining hotel and tickets.  Good luck.

Phantom of the Opera is a brilliant production, absolutely amazing, you won't be disappointed.

Phantom is Great, Les Miserables also, if you like Abba music and don't mind a crap story line then Mama Mia is the one

Enjoy
