Capital Style has taken us to Paris and Florence, Barcelona and Berlin but for musicals it has to be theatre breaks in London. There’s nowhere outside the West End that has the same buzz, class and choice as theatreland London, and you get the convenience of the capital being an international travel hub with all connections, terminals and networks centred on the English city. London has the best choice of shows as well, and a huge hotel and hospitality sector, so it’s often possible to get the best all in package deal from regional centres for theatre breaks in London with top tickets, posh Hotel and otherwise expensive discount rail travel included.

New theatre shows in London

In the autumn season there are usually a few  brand new shows coming up and this year is no exception. Sister Act is a new show this year, and starting to settle in well by all accounts with Patina Miller doing a grand job as the diva.  Another big show that’s arrived on the London theatre scene is Priscilla Queen of the Desert and then it doesn’t seem like it but Oliver has only been going for about a year!

The one we’re all waiting for though is called Love Never Dies, and that’s going to be a sequel to Andrew Loyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera – something that’s pretty unique in the theatre world, do you think he will pull it off?

Hotels for Theatre Breaks in London

When you book theatre breaks in London you get offered a wide range of hotels, depending on the dates and show you have chosen. One way to choose is by trading off the price range for proximity to the theatre where you go to see the show but that’s not always the most important factor. For example, there are hotels near Victoria that are dead handy for Wicked and Billy Elliot but if you intend getting out and about a bit more while you’re in town then it might be better to be somewhere like the St Giles Hotel which is right on the corner of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road.
