London weekend breaks always seem like such splendid idea – to leave behind habits & habitats, watching something brand new; perhaps listen to something different. However, without an idea, weekends away can every now and then fall somewhat flat, a case of ambling around a big city, sporadically popping into retail outlets & examining sculptures. This might well be adequate if you are comfortable to go with the flow, yet if you favour being occupied and ‘doing’ something then London theatre breaks can be a wonderful option.
Though you can continually travel to Europe, why bother? There is lots of talent & excitement far nearer to home in the City. Famously, the City boasts a large range of unbelievable theatres, most of which are clustered in London’s West End – a place in which life appears to become a little better & the whole lot turns out alright at the end of the day; or at least if not, you can get lost in exciting moments and feel a little bit of a better individual.
Although for comfortable, light-hearted entertainment throughout a London show break the majority of individuals see musical plays. These can be anything from the heart-wrenching disaster for instance Les Misérables to the rollerblading experience that is undoubtedly Starlight Express. Although, supporters of rock & roll, doo-wap and boys & girls in extraordinarily tight black leather will only be interested in one show – Grease. Taking the United Kingdom by storm in the nineteen seventies, this well-known musical show has never ever ceased to make an impression, transferring with consummate style to the big screen. Including a handsome John Travolta and an enormously skinny Olivia Newton-John, the film went on to be chosen for an Oscar.
A great many people will have time in their heart retained for Grease, no matter how old they are, or indeed what gender. Its one of those good motion films that is enjoyed by numerous age groups; equally the London musical is appropriate for young and old. The ease and liveliness of Rydell High is catchy, the late nineteen-fifties attire are desirably retro, & the tunes are so contagious that you will be singing in your seats. The Leicester Square Box Office website (lsbo.co.uk) have superb deals on theatre tickets.
