Stranger Things: The First Shadow
Fans of the hit Netflix show were thrilled when they heard about Stranger Things: The First Shadow coming to London. Enjoy supernatural thrills in the show which serves as the prequal to the TV series. Reviews have been very positive for the show so far that it was announced it will head to Broadway next year as well. As it is an original story, even those who haven’t seen the TV show have thoroughly enjoyed this unique show.
Back to the Future
Don’t miss the chance to catch the Back to the Future musical this autumn. It’s currently scheduled to close next year but has been a popular addition to the West End line up in recent times. The special effects are what really sets this show apart and fans of the movie will enjoy the nostalgic feeling of seeing the story come to life on the stage. Original music and lyrics were added to the show, which was co-created by the film’s screenwriters and directors.
Guys and Dolls
If you are looking to enjoy a classic musical during your stay in London, consider Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre. Scheduled to run until January 2025, Guys and Dolls is considered to be one of the greatest musicals of all times. What sets this production of the show apart is that the seating is wrapped around the stage, immersing you in the action of the Manhattan streets and Havana bars. Our Hotel Cavendish and Bloomsbury Palace Hotel are both well linked to the theatre and would be the ideal hotel for a London theatre weekend this autumn.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Also scheduled to end its run this January, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is based at London’s Piccadilly Theatre. The award-winning film was adapted for the stage and has been a hit with the London audience for the past few years. Audiences are transported to Paris every night and the singing, dancing, and sets make for a fantastic show for adults.
Any of these London theatre shows will make for an amazing night out in the city and one that you’ll remember for years to come. Are you planning a trip to London this autumn?
