What is absolutely the hottest play in London right now???!!!
 
We have a few months before going to London and I have not followed the current theatre in London. What are the hardest tickets to get right now?

Hi Kelda,<BR>You are not going to find a play called "London Dreams" The name of the play is called "Bombay Dreams".<BR>I saw it in July and in my opinion, which I guess is in the minority, it was OK not great. I think Andrew Lloyd Webber has done much better in the past. <BR>I got a standing room ticket on a Firday night, for 10GBP, 10 minutes before curtain. I actually sat on a little ledge, in front the of standing room curtain and the usher said that was OK. I'm glad I didn't pay a lot more for the ticket, otherwise I'd be pretty disappointed. Again, as it is a huge hit, I obviously have the minority opinion.<BR>Cheers,<BR>Pat

Dames Judy Dench and Maggie Smith in Breath of Life -- limited run from October 15 to December 25. I want to hop on a plane just to see it, but . . .<BR>I understand it's pretty well sold out before opening.

We just returned from London and saw Bombay Dreams by Andrew Lloyd Webber. We were disappointed and others we spoke to during intermission were also disappoointed. The music and choreography melded from one song to another. We had great seats, 4th row center, for which we paid handsomely! Search for reviews of the play on the internet and decide for yourself if that's the play you want to see.

Sept 28-Nov. 23 Glenn Close will be performing in A Streecar Named Desire at the National. I think that one is pretty well sold out as well.

Although The Breath of Life opens on October 15, previews start on October 4. I know that there are still tickets available for the Oct 5 matinee (in the nose bleed section), because I just bought one from www.ticketmaster.co.uk.<BR><BR>Re Bombay Dreams, for folks who know they won’t like it because they don’t like Lloyd Webber, you should be aware that he is only the producer; the music is by A.R. Rahman and lyrics by Don Black (Sunset Boulevard and Aspects of Love).
