London has long been renowned as the home of live performance and with the selection of West End shows to see in the British capital, it continues to be at the forefront of world theatre. Some of the planet's best productions are performed in venues including the London Palladium, and the performances are graced by some top actors who have long been thrilling theatre crowds.
One of these is actress Whoopi Goldberg. The American comedienne made her name on the silver screen in Sister Act, which has since been made into a stage performance. Goldberg has wowed British crowds in the show that is finishing its run in the West End in October, but she is sadly moving on sooner; if you’re planning to watch Sister Act the Musical as part of one of your next theatre breaks, then you’ll see a different leading lady play the role of Mother Superior. Sally Dexter is taking over at the start of September for the remaining two months of the show.
Dexter herself has a strong history in theatre, having performed in Billy Elliot and Love Never Dies. Alongside Sister Act the Musical, both of these productions are still being performed in London’s West end on a regular basis.
Whether you are itching to go and see the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera or have your eye on another show, you can make your London theatre bookings online. This will ensure that you don’t miss out on tickets and aren’t disappointed when the day comes around.
It isn’t just musicals that you can go and see either, as you take your pick from London’s finest plays, ballet and dance performances. Just book tickets for the show that takes your fancy from the comfort of your own home.
As part of your theatre package you can also book accommodation in a top London hotel for the night, and take advantage of the fantastic deals that are on offer. If you’re looking to make the event into a really special occasion then why not round off a memorable evening with a stay in luxury five star accommodation?
Trips to the theatre have never been more popular than they are right now and there’s no reason why you should be missing out. Watching a West End show is a real treat and if it isn’t something you’ve experienced before, then there’s no time like the present to put that right.
