'Mama Mia' by hook or crook!
We were lucky enough to get tickets (on the internet) for this show and it was delightful. Everyone left singing and humming, and was a real 'day brightener'. (We were in London two weeks ago.) I recommend everyone who is considering going to London do this show. By the way, this is one reason we go off season--to gain more accessability to what London offers without the crowds.

Judy: Advise you to get tickets EARLY. We got ours over the internet (had to pay a booking fee), but were assured of a ticket; It is always sold out weeks ahead of time, so don't count on going if you wait til you get there. Another great one, (we saw in London last year) is "Buddy". <BR>

Hi! I am so excited to actually contribute for a change (I've been asking a lot of questions). I have to agree with Julie-we saw "Buddy" in London in '95 (its been playing quite a while) and it was wonderful! The neat thing is that the night we were there some people were actually dancing in the aisles, knew all the words, were singing along-just having a great time! <BR>We started talking to one of these couples (my mother-in-law from Lubbock, TX was with us)after the show and when my mother-in-law mentioned she was from Lubbock (Buddy Holly was from Lubbock) they got so excited! We ended up standing outside the theater for a long time just talking (we should have gone for a drink, etc....)Anyway, they wanted to know EVERYTHING from my m-i-l. <BR>She told them that she had gone to h.s. with Buddy's brother and knew a little of Buddy's wife, etc..Well, they all exchanged addresses and kept in touch for about 2 years with letters and pictures of each others families. (That couple btw is the Pres. of the Buddy Holly Fanclub in London)After about 2 years of letter writing the couple from London went to Lubbock for some Buddy Festivities going on in Lubbock and stayed with my m-i-l. They have been to Lubbock and have stayed with her twice now and still keep in touch! <BR>You just never know who you will meet when traveling! <BR>Patti
