Sam Wheat and Molly Jensen are deeply in love. Their history together is full of happy memories, vacations, photographs and now a newly shared apartment in Brooklyn – they can't afford Manhattan! Sam is a high-powered banker who has control of numerous accounts and millions and millions of dollars.

It can be exhausting trying to book tickets for West End shows without some kind of London theatre guide. Unless you have been heartily recommended to go by a friend whose taste levels you trust implicitly or you simply have to see the star no matter what, we always like a little reassurance when making our theatre purchase.

If you are visiting London and would like to see one of the many famous plays or musicals (or both) on offer, then the best London theatre guide to help you make your choice would be someone who has been there before and experienced it themselves first hand. If you are good friends with the person and have a lot of the same interests then even better, they can give you an honest opinion about the show and will probably know if you would also like or dislike the overall performance. Personally I am a fan of the big musicals with grand stage designs, lots of colour, extravagant consumes and of course a fabulously catchy sound track to go along with it.

The orchestra in a musical, the thrill of suspense or the passion of an opera! Who doesn’t love a good play? One of the best places to experience the magic on stage is London’s ‘theatreland’ or as it is more popularly known, the West End district. Shows in West End feature everything from grandiose theatrics of famous stars to subtle nuances of lesser knoawn but often equally talented actors. This means that even if the larger shows are out of your budget, you can still get the taste of Britain’s own Broadway by buying relatively cheap theatre tickets.

If you could wave a magic wand, what would be your fantasy London theatre shows? Who would be your dream cast in your favourite show if you had that power? You might think that you are being too imaginative, but you never know what can happen.

When looking for a suitable show for your children, Lion King London is probably one of the first options that springs to mind. Of course there is no doubt that the Lion King is one of the best long running shows in the West End geared towards children.

If you loved the film, then you have to see the stage musical of Billy Elliot ! The musical is based on the 2000 film with music written by Sir Elton John. It has been running at the Victoria Palace since 2005 and has been a huge success. When it first opened, the show was up for nine Laurence Olivier Awards, and won four, one of those being Best New Musical.

On first finding out that I would be going to see Rock of Ages , my first instinct was that of uncertainty. Having a long history with musical theatre, the idea of a rock musical was not something I would normally sign up for. In fact the concept of a jukebox musical has never really sat easily with me, and therefore I arrived expecting something similar to We Will Rock You, but thankfully I was in for a pleasant surprise.
