Darren Finn-Hurst

Darren, our Development Manager, shows his broad  taste in theatre by choosing two very different productions with one common factor - theatrical originality!

Stomp at the Ambassadors Stomp at The Ambassadors Theatre is ideally located to the 4* Radisson Edwardian Mountbatten, just a few minutes walk away. You’ll just want to bang dustbin lids on the way back to the hotel – remember to keep the noise down! If you are looking for a pre theatre meal, then Incognico would be a great choice.  This restaurant offers a choice of courses and a drink is included in the price.

39 Steps The 39 Steps at the Criterion Theatre on Piccadilly Circus itself, is only a few minutes walk from the 5* Le Meridien Hotel on Piccadilly. It is great value for money and the hotel offers afternoon tea and pre-theatre meals as well.

Patti Murphy

Patti Murphy knows that 9 times out of 10, what is required on a theatre break is a great musical. Here she has chosen three - something old, something new and something borrowed - but fortunately nothing blue!

 Enjoy a deluxe break for a deluxe show at Mamma Mia.  Stay at five star Le Meridien Hotel and have their delicious pre-theatre meal in the delightful Terrrass Restaurant.  Walk up Piccadilly and past Eros and feel in the centre of a vibrant West End of London.  Try Ripleys just up the road either next day or the afternoon before just to complete the experience.

  Stay at the three star Thistle Piccadilly Hotel  within a short walk of the theatre to go to see and feel  the rhythm,  passion and excitement of Zorro which is a show which offers everything.  Have a  pre theatre meal at Salieri's in the Strand in their delightful theatre orientated restaurant, who will always make you feel very welcome.  For something very different go on a duck tour during your stay.

  Stay at the Corus Hyde Park Hotel, just three stops on the central line tube from Oxford Circus where Sound of Music is playing, overlooking Hyde Park for that Sunday morning walk,  with pre theatre meal in Masala Zone Restaurant near London Palladium.  Go on the London Eye to see London from above in all its glory.

Sara Benn

Sara Benn is our Groups and Corporate consultant. As a proper actress in her time it is now surprise that she has chosen to great plays (and done them in style by chosing two great central (but still quite affordable 5 star hotels.

 

 

Following the current trend for the Hollywood elite to tread the West End boards, the smouldering Josh Hartnett makes his stage debut in the engaging and very moving play 'Rainman' currently showing at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. Harnett performs the part of the self-obsessed Charlie Babbit competently, but it must be said that Adam Godley playing Charlie's brother Raymond (aka Rainman) steals the show and the laugh out loud moments. It is a very well written script and transfer to the stage easily without the audience feeling robbed of some of the big-budget film sequences.

Seeing Rainman at the Apollo, you are ideally located for an excellent 2 or 3 course pre-theatre meal at the newly opened Chez Gerard in Rupert Street two minutes walk away.

Recommended hotels would either be the 5 star luxury of Le Meridien Piccadilly or newly refurbished Radisson Edwardian Marlborough both within walking distance of the theatre and a number of London's top attractions.

Now in it's 56th year boasts the publicity... it took me 41 years before I finally caught up with Mousetrap. The Mousetrap is one of those plays that I wish I had seen many moons ago and one that I certainly would be able to sit through again.  I've even forgotten "whodunit" because there are so many twists and turns. Excellently staged and performed with the right amount of comedy and bump-in-the-night moments.

For a sumptuous 3 course pre-theatre meal which includes a glass of champers, I would recommend Incognico in Shaftesbury Avenue, 5 minutes walk north of the St Martin's Theatre.

My hotel recommendation would be either the stylish and unique 5 star Courthouse Hotel in Great Marlborough Street - nestled in-between Oxford & Carnaby Streets for all those shopaholics out there or the 3 star St Giles Hotel situated on the north side of New Oxford Street again ideal for Oxford Street and the British Museum which stand behind it.

Antoio Campanella

Antonio is our groups manager and there is little wonder that he has selected three productions, so popular with many  groups, for their wide range of appeal.

Joseph is a fantastic family show and has consistently been one of the West End's top musicals since its return in 2007. As with any Andrew Lloyd Webber production, you expect a high quality show and this production keeps that tradition. Much of the success is also down to lead actor Lee Mead, the performer who was catapulted to stardom via the BBC's "Any dream will do". A great show for all ages. Situated on the Strand, the 3* Strand Palace hotel is the ideal hotel for those going to see Joseph. Just a few minutes walk, this hotel is in a top location for those wishing to explore London's shops and cafes. For a pre/post theatre meal I would highly recommend Salieri theatre restaurant also situated on the Strand. This family run restaurant is ideal for those wishing to dine in comfort at an affordable price. Great for families.

One of London's top shows, Phantom of the Opera has been running in the West End for a staggering 22 years and still manages to be sold out on most nights! Andrew Lloyd Webber's hugely popular production still captivates audiences of all age groups. A must see. If seeing this production I would highly recommend the 4* Chesterfield hotel in Mayfair. Situated in Mayfair, this luxurious hotel is ideal for those wishing to stay in style. Approximately 15 minutes walk to Her Majesty's theatre. In the heart of Mayfair, Chez Gerard restaurant in Dover Street reflects all that is best about French cuisine, transporting customers back in time to the Brasserie of 1930's Paris, where friends, family and good food and drink was all that mattered. The restaurant also has a Terrace which is open in the summer months and guests can dine in style with spectacular views of London.

By far London's most scary show, Woman In Black still manages to scare audiences since it's opening in the West End over 20 years ago. Adapted from the novel by Susan Hill and excellently staged, it is very clever in it's concept. This production plays on the audiences' imagination and fears and does not relinquish it's sense of heightened fear until the curtain finally falls. This dark and atmospheric play is by far my favourite show in London. Not for those of a nervous disposition! Ideally situated in the Holborn area and just a few minutes walk from the Fortune theatre, the four star Kingsway Hall Hotel would be a great choice for those seeing the Woman in Black. Situated in the heart of London's fashionable Covent Garden this hotel is great for those wishing to explore London's great variety of shops and boutiques. Bertorelli restaurant in Floral street is a great choice for those wanting to dine nearby. The chic and stylist restaurant offers a more formal dining experience serving classic Italian dishes from the a' la carte menu. Ideally situated on the doorstep of Covent Garden's world famous Piazza.

Rebecca Lawrence

Rebecca is our newest consultant but she has already made a name for herself for loving those really lively shows which guarantee a truly great night out.

I would recommend going to see La Clique for a fun packed evening. This hip circus is a stylish blend of saucy burlesque, fairground freak show, stupendous stunts and cool comic cabaret. The Hippodrome has been reinvented as a louche Big Top with two bars servicing an audience who sit right round the action. The hotel I would recommend would be The 5* Luxury Westbury Hotel located in exclusive Mayfair. The hotel is modern, yet luxurious and the highly trained concierge will be at your beck and call. So for a break with luxury, comfort and many laughs this is the break for you.

 A lively show based on the classic film with lots of great sing-a-long songs. Grease is a fantastic family night out for all to enjoy. With great performances and acting skills from all of the cast, this is not one to be missed. No matter what night you go on you will be up out of your seats dancing and singing along the whole way through. It is fortunate that the le Meridien, Picadilly is a 5 star luxury hotel is therefore nice and close. The staff are dedicated to meeting the customers needs. The rooms are luxurious with marble bathrooms, 24 hour room service, satellite TV and complimentary newspaper. Its famous Terrace Restaurant and the largest in London indoor pool and spa it is a perfect treat for anyone.

 A classic love story with upbeat songs everyone knows the words to. Excellent choreography and slicker dance moves than strictly come dancing, Dirty Dancing is a must see. I would recommend staying at the Kingsway Hall Hotel. This elegant 4 star hotel is a perfect location for Theatre Land and very close to the Aldwych and London's fantastic attractions. The sumptuous rooms include satellite TV and mini bar and are elegantly decorated in warm colours. Perhaps after a hard days shopping unwind in the jacuzzi and spa.

Natasha Ryan

 

Natasha, one of Theatre Breaks Consultants, has picked three of the biggest, most spectacular musicals in the West End, and, as such, three of our most popular shows.

The Lion King is a visually amazing show. No expense has been spared when it comes to the costumes or the set not to mention the fantastic animals that make up the cast. The storyline follows the film precisely ensuring that no part of this family favourite is forgotten or left out. The vocals are breathtaking. You and your family will be entertained throughout. The Radisson Edwardian Grafton provides accommodation for families, depending on availability. This is the perfect choice for a family outing!

Wicked is an exciting musical straight from Broadway, it focuses on the much feared Wicked witches and tells the real story behind them. The costumes and set are fantastic not to mention the songs and dancing. This musical is fun for the whole family with jokes that translate across the ages.

Why not make it a romantic weekend away by staying in the elegant four star Rubens At The Palace Hotel. If you view a matinee performance you have the whole evening to take in the sights and sounds of London. Why not hop on the tube to Covent Garden for a meal in any of our top quality restaurants. I highly recommend Salieri’s for their varied menu, excellent service and flamboyant surroundings!

Are you part of the glam rock generation? Do you remember when music meant powerful vocals and an electric guitar? If the answer is yes then this is the musical for you. It is a light-hearted story set in the future, a future where instruments and individualism are banned. We Will Rock You is full of classic Queen hits and powerful vocals. The music is excellent and is always performed live with the band rocking in the wings. This is definitely a fun night out so make it a group and stay in the Radisson Edwardian Marlborough Hotel, that is only a breath away from the theatre and a short stroll from the bars and restaurants of Covent Garden and Leicester Square.

Jo Osborn

 

Jo is our Reservations Manager and  demonstrates here her broad tastes with a classic, musical a new super-hit and possibly the finest trilogy of comedies by our greatest comic writer.

A great hotel to stay in if your seeing Les Miserables is the 3* Royal Trafalgar as It's JUST around the corner near the iconic Trafalgar square. What is even better is they have the Squares Restaurant, recently awarded a coveted AA Rosette, where you can have a pre/post-theatre meal.

Hairspray is a fun, lively show which I think has been brilliant coming to the west end last year. So if your seeing a new production why not stay in a new hotel too? The 4* Grange Beauchamp. A new addition to the Grange Hotels portfolio and a lovely setting on Bedford Place. Better still its walking distance to the theatre and Oxford Street for shopping!

The Old Vic Theatre, where Norman Conquests are showing, is in Waterloo so I suggest the four star Guoman Charing Cross Hotel because it's only one stop on the Bakerloo or Northern Line. We get great deluxe room rates and it's nearby to Salieri's Theatre Restaurant which is great for a pre-theatre meal and located right on the strand.

Mel Wiseman

The three musicals that Theatre Breaks Consultant Mel has chosen are all showing in and around Soho, one of the livliest spots in London West End and great for nearby pre-theatre dining.

Why not come come down to London Town to see Monty Python's Spamalot, a show that will have you dying of laughter! Spamalot is penned by the Monty Python gang, who brought us timeless comedy classics such as The Holy Grail and the Life of Brian! This musical is loosely based on their previous works and is by far the funniest show in the West End! And while you're down here, why not check in the Radisson Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel, a leisurely 15 minute walk away from the theatre. The hotel is beautiful and the staff are very welcoming. And on your way to the theatre, stop off at the British History Musuem and a shop on Oxford Street! All this starts from £94 per person!

 Oh what a night it will be when you see Jersey Boys! Jersey Boys is by far one of the best musicals in London: you won't be able to take&nbsp;your eyes off the stage and will be begging&nbsp;for the show never to end! (note my clever references!). The theatre is in Soho, one of the liveliest parts of the Capital and I've had a good few nights out there! I'd start off with some French Cuisine, at the <A href="http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Chez-Gerard--Rupert-Street-London.aspx">Chez Gerard in Rupert Street</A>, then head down to the show. Afterwards, have a few post theatre drinks and then lay your head down in the 5* Courthouse Hotel, which is by far the coolest and most historically interesting hotels in London, not to mention the bar that's now in the prison cells! <A href="https://www.theatrebreaks.com/Booking/Show.aspx?HotelID=946&ShowID=1018">Book this entire break</A>, including bed, full breakfast, best seats, 3-course, pre-theatre meal, service and VAT, now from £190 per person (based on two people sharing a double room).

Blood Brothers is one of my favourite musicals. A romantic and yet tragic story, that always has me crying at the end! To start off the evening I would walk along Oxford Circus and have a nose at the shops and stop off for a lovely <A href="http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Bertorelli-Restaurant--Frith-Street-London.aspx" linktype="link" track="on">Italian meal at Bertorelli's</A>, which is only a few minutes walk away from the theatre. After the show you could hit a few pubs, there's plenty to choose from, or call it a night at the traditional 4* Rathbone Hotel, again only a few minutes walk away - its a traditional hotel with a homely feel. <A href="https://www.theatrebreaks.com/Booking/Show.aspx?HotelID=905&ShowID=998" linktype="link" track="on">Pre-book your dinner / theatre / accommodation / breakfast package</A>&nbsp; from £129 per person inc. service and VAT (based on 2 people sharing a double room).
