West End/ SOLT venues
We’ve expanded our definition of West End to include those big venues that whilst not physically in the West End, budget wise are very similar. Think of places like Southbank Centre or Royal Albert Hall. Generally these are the venues that are members of the Society of London Theatre and eligible for all the big award ceremonies. Whilst we don’t attend lots of these shows, now and again it’s fun to savour the glitz and glamour they can offer.

Silk Road, Peacock Theatre – Review
A unique and compelling cultural experience, but steeply priced.
-
Cirque Du Soleil: Quidam, Royal Albert Hall – Review
If you are a seasoned Cirque goer then this may not be as impressive as other shows but for most this will be an evening which will leave you awe inspired.
-
The Wind in the Willows, Duchess Theatre – Review
A classic children's tale in its most beautiful presentation. Although not for the youngest members of the family, both children and adults will be transported into a world of color, music and dance.
-
How the Whale Became, Lindbury Studio Theatre, Royal Opera House – Review
A marvellous production for the whole family, and a wonderful celebration of opera and theatre. Bravo!
-
Strange Blooms & Configurations, Southbank Centre – Review
Perfect for those looking for something different in dance. Stunning works of ingenuity.
-
Brand New Ancients, Royal Court – Review
Kate Tempest is an intelligent and mesmerizing storyteller. Her unique brand of theatre is well worth seeing.
-
Perfect Nonsense, Duke of York’s Theatre – Review
An ambitious production that promised unfettered excitement but which ended up erring more on the side of plodding and predictable.
-
Keeler, Charing Cross Theatre – Review
A sensual insight into the Profumo Affair that will make you itch for a vodka martini.
-
The Light Princess, National Theatre – Review
An imaginative, visually-rich tale which is let down by the musical element.
-
Thriller Live, Lyric Theatre – Review
There is no story but for my money, that doesn’t matter. The singing is stunning, the dancing incredible and I dare anyone to come out of the theatre without a spring in their step and a smile on their face.
