London Show for Teen?

Any recommendations for a London show that a 13 year old boy would enjoy? Have been looking at Billy Elliot, Hair Spray, We will Rock you, Spamalot, and Lord of the Rings; not sure if any of these would be good, or there may be others . . . any suggestions would be appreciated!

I took my 13yo, albeit a daughter, to Wicked last summer and we both enjoyed it. It is a terrific show.

Spamalot is hilarious and incredibly optimistic!

If he's a Tolkien fan, or liked the movies, he'll probably enjoy Lord of the Rings.

Took my son and some of his friends to NYC to see Spamalot for his 14th birthday. They all loved it.

Took my boys aged 13 and 11 to We Will Rock You in London and they thought it was okay/pretty good.

They absolutely loved The Blue Man Group (at ages 13 and 11). (I thought it was boring).

My 12 year old daughter loved Billy Elliott, as did my husband and I.
Very appropriate for your son as Billy Elliott himself is a youngish boy.
Great music, brilliant dancing, funny, sad and completely engaging.

We are Americans living in London. My son absolutely loved Spamalot and the Blue Man Group. He also enjoyed The 39 Steps, We Will Rock You, and The Woman in Black. He tolerated Wicked, said it was a girl show.

Check out www.broadwaybox.com They have some great discounts to many shows...usually great stall seating.
