""Macbeth", with David Tennant at the Harold Pinter theatre - absolutely amazing. "Starlight Express" was very good and also "Wicked" which was brilliant. "Hamilton"...was insipid." Yeah, I was coerced to see Hamilton by my daughter, didn't enjoy it! | |||

"I go to the theatre alot. Last show I saw was Chicago and the next one I will see is Miss Saigon. My favourite is Les Mis." You like a musical then 
Les Mis sounds like a depressing theme, but I have heard it's good. | |||

"Took my daughter to see &Juliet. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was age appropriate and on close to Christmas. It was brilliant! Would love to go and see it again." I saw that, was fun but not my type of music, so I just thought it was ok. but my friend who loves and knew all the song has seen the show 6 times so far, it's her favourite  | |||

"I saw 'Hidden' - it's a dance troupe and they spent an hour and a half climbing and jumping off scaffolding! It was great, highly recommended" Just watched the trailer and basically they've made a show based around trust falling exercises they get you to do on team building events, it does actually look like the type of show I'd go and see  | |||

Watching Macbeth was quite novel for two reasons: the audience wore headphones which added to the immersive experience and, more importantly, the impressive manner in which the background characters all broke into a slow motion of movement (faux time-lapse) when the protagonist performed a monologue. | |||

I grew up with grandad liking (not grandma, she like dancing but happy to go along with his passion as he was with hers ). Just like anything else sometimes you connect with something, sometimes not. I also find with opera that my mood and life feelings need to be qiite atuned with a particular one at the time to enjoy it. | |||

The Book of Mormon is reported to be absolutely amazing. A friend of mine loves it and wants to take me to see it.
I'd like to see 'An Inspector Calls' when it's on near me. I played the Inspector in an amateur production many years ago.
I really do need to go to the theatre more often.
Yes Book of Mormon is absolutely brilliant.
Advice for Inspector Calls if you decide to go - avoid matinées or go on a weekend. Most schools (STILL) study this at gcse and it's miserable going to the theatre when 100s of kids are in attendance.
I feel this with Blood Brothers every time I go. "I concur with the comment, re inspector calls. My eldest will be going in a couple of weeks time with his whole year and it's a matinee. So avoid week days and matinee's definitely! I really want to see the book of Mormon too. | |||

"What have you seen at the theatre recently and would like to recommend to us? Last month I saw 'unicorn' fantastic play about bringing a third into a marriage as a throuple. Today I saw 'drum Tao' brilliant Japanese drummers and dancers. I've got 'the book of Mormon' coming up soon. And disappointed I'm missing 'the shark is broken' which is on at Canterbury this week

" I think I would like to see Phantom of the opera. A bit cliche, but I've only ever seen it televised. Which lacks some of the impact of seeing things live. The Lion king. It's a bit old and may seem a bit childish but I've seen clips of it and looks amazing. And the last one I don't know if people are going to class it as theater is Shen Yun. | |||

" I don't know if people are going to class it as theater is Shen Yun." Shen Yun is definitely theatre, I went last year, very pricey compared to what I normally pay but it was a special treat. I would recommend but i wouldn't see it again like I would with other shows. | |||
