For the love of the limelight

THEATRE breaks make it easy to experience the magic of live acting in the world’s best cities for the arts. By combining hotel booking and theatre ticket purchases into one transaction, a theatre break makes a night out on the town smooth and enjoyable. London is one of the best places to purchase a theatre break because of its multiple theatres and long history as a home to multiple acting troupes.

Did you know that London Theatre Breaks can be customised in many ways?  Shoppers can book a 5 star hotel for maximum luxury or a 3 star hotel if the budget requires. Restaurant reservations and transportation options can be added. Some theatre breaks have the option for add-on visits to tourist attractions like Big Ben or Buckingham Palace. Shoppers can choose the plays they want to see and the extras they want to add. Booking a theatre break is quicker and easier than booking every component separately. A booking agency will handle the paperwork for consumers, and can even offer a discount of a few pounds because of bulk purchases.

Anyone who loves the limelight will be delighted with the 2012 theatre season. Musicals are always lovely to experience in person, and the upcoming season features several classics. A beloved tale of crime and redemption, Les Miserables will be playing until 27 October at the Queen’s Theatre. The Phantom of the Opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber is at Her Majesty’s Theatre, until 14 January 2012. Billy Elliot, the story of a boy who wanted to dance ballet, will be at the Victoria Palace Theatre throughout the year. Chicago, featuring songs like "Razzle Dazzle" and "Mr. Cellophane" will be at Garrick Theatre until January 2013. Wicked, a pop culture hit, is at the Apollo Victoria Theatre until 27 October 2012.

Lesser-known musicals also abound. Backbeat, an adaptation of a Beatles’ film, will be at the Duke of York’s Theatre until 18 February 2012. Children of Eden, based on the Biblical book of Genesis, is at the Prince of Wales Theatre until 29 January. Legally Blonde The Musical will be at Savoy Theatre until 27 October 2012.

Children’s musicals will entertain the whole family.
