West End Musical
Tonight we’ll go to a West End musical. I’ve chosen to see Oliver! as it’s a new production with a shorter run and it’s a classic — even though I haven’t seen it!
I’m able to book a group of tickets (though sadly, not at a discount since it’s the week before Easter) but we should be able to sit together if we book soon enough.
The show starts at 7:30pm at the Gielgud Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue and has a run time of 2 hours and 40 minutes (including an internal). Ticket prices range from £85 - £99.50 (USD$107 - $125)
If this isn’t the show for you, there are plenty of options for booking something different separately as well. I usually use Today Tix to book tickets and research available shows. You can also review all of the musicals playing in April here.

About Oliver!
See Lionel Bart’s Tony and Olivier winning musical, Oliver!, in the new and exciting revival reconceived by Cameron Mackintosh and director and choreographer Sir Matthew Bourne. Book Oliver! tickets on TodayTix.
Oliver! in London has an exceptional cast, including Aaron Sidwell (EastEnders, Wicked) as Bill Sikes, Simon Lipkin (Guys and Dolls, The Beaker Girls) as Fagin, and Shanay Holmes (Rent, The Bridges of Madison County) as Nancy.
The masterful ensemble tells the classic story of young orphan, Oliver Twist, living on the streets of London in the 1830s. He struggles to survive and joins a gang of young pickpockets as he seeks what he desperately desires: a family and a home.
