Theatres return to London in December
The musical Six
“Six” is a musical that is actually a “historical pop talent show” telling the story of Henry the VIII’s six wives.
Definitely something else, interesting, fun, young, short (an hour and a quarter), and exciting.
“Six” already performs in a larger hall (Lyric Theatre), to maintain social distancing and it will return to it’s original theatre (Arts Theatre) starting April 20th.

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie
“Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” is a musical that we especially loved.
– Not running right now in London.
The Great Gatsby – Immersive London
“The Great Gatsby” is a show that is also a party.
The story takes place in the 1920s during the Great Depression.
This is definitely not a routine theatrical performance, but the kind of experience we really enjoyed.
Restricted to ages 14 and up.
