Top 5 West End Shows

[Phantom of London]

Always a curve-ball but what are your top 5 shows in the West End.

Mine is:

Les Miserables
Billy Elliot
One Man, Two Guvnors
War Horse
Matilda

Close but not good enough:

Singin In The Rain
Loserville
A Chorus of Disapproval
Cabaret
Mamma Mia

[ajh]

Mine (in no particular order):
MATILDA
CONSTELLATIONS
ONE MAN TWO GUV'NORS
JERSEY BOYS
KISS ME KATE

[FireFingers]

Off the top of my head I'd say,

Les MIs
Matilda
Wicked
We Will Rock You
Singing in the Rain

Blood Brothers would of been in it last month, and Book of Mormon, I'm fairly sure, will be in mine come March.

[ClapYo'Hands]

It's difficult to think of 5 shows that I actually like that much in the West End right now. Probably:

1. The Phantom of the Opera
2. Les Misérables (though it is my favourite out of the bunch as a musical)
3. Singin' In The Rain
4. Cabaret
5. (and I can't believe that I would ever put this in my top 5) Wicked.

Honestly nothing in the West End on the musical scene holds any interest for me, how depressing is that

[tommo2k]

Matilda, Phantom, Les Mis, Wicked and Billy Elliott.

Honestly couldn't name 5 West End shows that are currently playing.

Only thing I've seen in the West End recently that I'd rate highly is the brilliant Constellations at Duke of Yorks theatre.

There are a few West End musicals that I have not yet seen so obviously cannot consider them at the moment - Loserville (which I'll be seeing on Sat 8 Dec), The Bodyguard & Kiss, Me Kate (both of which I plan to see in January) and Cabaret (which I will probably get to see at some point as it's one of my all-time favourite musicals - but a bit put off as I hated the last Rufus Norris production of the show).

I've seen all other current West End musicals, so my top 5 of those are:

BILLY ELLIOT
WICKED
LES MISERABLES
SPAMALOT
TOP HAT

[Princeton Returns]

I think the West End is as good as its ever been, all depends on your interests really. it can also depend on current casts, especially the long runners. That said theres nothing on at the moment or coming up that i really feel like i need to rush to see (again in some cases).

i actually think the next few years are a great time to be in the regions with so many west end shows (at west end quality) touring. and with at least two more to announce
