I have a few questions regarding the theatre in London. We plan to do the RS 7 day London tour with a full day at the start and a couple days after the tour is over. I know we will want to see something and I am leaning towards Phantom of the Opera. I know it has been running in London for forever and it appears the last date will be our first day in London. I am rather fond of Phantom. Does this current cast of Phantom make the show "not to be missed"? What are the chances the show will extend its engagement? After running for 30 years I'm sure it is possible it will be extended and I'd rather not have our arrival evening spent in a dark theatre. I'm sure my husband would sleep through it!
What other shows should we not miss? I have season tickets to 2 of our theaters here in St Louis so I'm not a stranger to musicals. In fact, I love them. We've seen Phantom twice but not for many years. I've seen Wicked 3 times, twice at home and once in NYC. It looks like the Globe theatre stops running on our arrival day as well so I know there is no way we could handle both shows in one day.
I appreciate any advice!
