Well, uh. I don't actually know you very well, so I don't know how awkward it is to say this? :D Um. But if you want company to catch a show or something, do let me know, I'm always up for a visit to the West End :)
The suggestions look great, thanks so much. Forbidden Planet is obvsly already on the itinerary :D
And not awkward at all! I'd welcome the company, I'm going alone to London for the first time and freaking out a bit (all the previous times were group or family outings), I'd love the company :))
So far I only bought the Les Mis ticket for the 30th, I'd love to see Wicked and/or Lion King, do you have any suggestions?
Oh God, Wicked...is, for some reason, my Achilles' heel theatrified. I've seen it a bazillion times-and this in no way, shape or form means I wouldn't be beyond thrilled to see it again. *laughs* Gina Beck, the current Glinda, is a goddess ♥ (According to the show's website, she's taking the first week of June off, so I recommend booking a date before that!)
Lion King is pretty amazing; the costume work in particular is unbelievable. I'm in a major listening-to-Les-Mis-on-repeat phase at the moment, and I just saw it for the first time in ages the other day-I'm sure you'll have a great time! Hmm. Other suggestions. Billy Elliot is gorgeous; Matilda is superbly staged, even though musically it's mostly kind of meh; Book of Mormon is funny, if you like that sort of humour; We Will Rock You is pretty weird and not my personal favourite, but if you like Queen, you'll probably adore it (kind of like Mamma Mia and ABBA, I guess); I've heard really great things about Once, but I've yet to see it
( ... )
We could do that thing where we meet on the day and see what's available ;)) I only want to buy Wicked and Lion King tickets in advance (in adition to the Les Mis one I already have) to make sure I have them, other than that my schedule is wide open; what day would work for you?
My e-mail is noelia.g at gmail, if you'd like to take the details discussion there :)))
For cheap second-hand books look for Oxfam bookshops, which are like regular Oxfam charity shops, but sell (almost) exclusively books. You can find amazing stuff in them, and prices are fairly low (and I 'm not saying that because I'm volunteering in one, I get books from there all the time). Here's a branch locator, just go for those having "bookshop" in the name: http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/local-shops
