Theatre Breaks

Taking a theatre break means escaping from your every day life for a night and reveling in the glamour of a West End show, and the luxury of a West End hotel. While not all theatre goers end up staying the night, nothing seals the magic of a night on the town like returning to a fabulous accommodation and then waking up in strange and glamorous surroundings.

While the selection of plays and musicals that might draw us to London for a night of fun may seem long, narrowing down what we want to see can be half the fun of the preparation. Asking friends and family for advice (or hints on hot new tickets) is one great way to get the new straight from eyewitness accounts. Reading the views of the critics (now online) is another great way to get an insiders view on the theatre scene without having to live in London or see 5 shows a week.

Once you have an idea of which musical you want to see (Mamma Mia and the Lion King are still hot tickets) and when you have time to see it, the other details—like where to stay and where to have dinner—should fall into place. And while a little known play or musical may be right for you, it's a safe bet that the bigger numbers will the songs to keep you singing and the dancing to keep you smiling.

Enjoying your theatre break is as easy as soaking up the culture and nightlife around you. Taking time out from our busy schedules to enjoy some culture and an after dinner cocktail makes life seem worth living again, and nothing can put you back in good spirits like the kind of fun loving pageantry that most West End performances entail.

Treat yourself to the West End theatre break of a lifetime is a way to create memories that will last a lifetime. And who knows, maybe a taste of the nightlife will leave you with a wish to come back again and again. The shows keep changing, which means that there is always a theatre break on the horizon that could turn your weekend from a drab and ordinary trip to the cleaners into something worth remembering.
