I detest Abba music, yet Mama Mia was fun in a campy way. The others in my group loved it.

Not sure if this counts but soemwhere in London does a singalong version of the Sound of Music Film.
Many of the audience dress up as characters in the film.
Apparently it is unbelievable fun and even the most hardened cycnics who get dragged along find it fun.

We just got back yesterday. Saw the Lion King and it was awsome. Really worth seeing. Went to the Half-Price booth at Leicester Square and got matinee tickets to Fame. London was not near as busy as I thought it would be for August. If there is a particular show then book in advance but try the Half Price booth when you get there also. Went to the play Stones in His Pockets. Excellent show.

Does anyone have info on the half-price booth (e.g. websites etc...)? I'll be in london on 9/21, and figure I would catch a play on friday nite. I assume the half-price booth is similar to TKTS in NYC.

Just got back from London. The half-price booth is in the center Leicester Square. It is a large permanent stone building. Tickets for the afternnon matinees go on sale at 10am. Evening performances go on sale at 11am. Be carefull buying tickets at any of the other places calling themselves "half-price tickets". There are at least 6-7 in the same area. The large permanent building is the true one. You will get the best seats available for half the face value plus 2.5GBP. The other places don't necessarily do this. Have fun! We did

What do you mean you flew LowCost Airlines just because it was cheaper and a direct flight? What about the MILES?
