Today July 27th being the start of the one year countdown to the London 2012 Olympic Games in Stratford, East London as part of the countdown launch, a large number of West End theatres have announced new extensions to the period for which the most popular shows can be booked. This is to allow London Theatre breaks to be booked well in advance for the period of the Olympics, and indeed the Olympic year 2012 as a whole, during which there are all sorts of special events laid on. Some of the shows announcing 2012 booking dates extensions are the following West End musicals and plays: We Will Rock You Wicked The Wizard of Oz Billy Elliot the Musical Blood Brothers Dreamboats and Petticoats Jersey Boys The Phantom of the Opera Mamma Mia! Legally Blonde the Musical Ghost The Musical Les Misérables Shrek The Musical Disney’s The Lion King Million Dollar Quartet The Mousetrap The 39 Steps Stomp Thriller Live War Horse The Woman in Black Rock of Ages Matilda The Musical

The Orbit Tower, Stratford
http://londonbreakattractions.blogspot.com/2010/04/orbit-tower-stratford.html
The Orbit Tower is due to be built at Stratford Olympic park in time for the 2012 Olympics, but with a view to becoming an attraction for the East London development area around Stratford for years afterwards.

Come Dancing UK Tour Announced
http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/come-dancing-uk-tour-announced.html
Ray Davies’ wonderful musical Come Dancing, which we loved so much we saw it twice at Stratford last year, has just announced a UK tour! The tour starts in January at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley, Kent from from Thursday 21 January 2010 to Saturday 30 January 2010 and tickets are already on sale. The cast is said to be substantially unchanged but there’s no sign of our favourite, Gemma Salter, on the introduction to the new, currently unfinished, Come Dancing web site. It will be a bit of a shame if she isn’t going to play the lead as she really made that part her own.
Meanwhile here’s the lovely Gemma Salter and the rest of the cast doing their thing at Statford East Theatre Royal last year: Click here to view the embedded video.
Hopefully the UK tour will lead to a transfer to the West End, where Come Dancing surely belongs.
