Theatre Breaks Wiki

http://londonbreak.org.uk/66/theatre-breaks-wiki/

One of the most useful resources I’ve come across for planning London theatre breaks is the Theatre Breaks Wiki, a website that anybody can edit in a similar vein to Wikipedia, but all about London Theatre. I think this means that in the longer run, most of the information on the theatrebreaks.co site is going to end up more accurate and better kept up to date than anywhere else on the web, even some sites which have a team of people looking after them, to a fashion. At present there seems to be a bit of a mess on the front page, with one page for each new musical play and some old ones – plus a page for each of the West End and fringe theatres in London. I can also see some cope for pages about some of the better known singers and actors on the West End scene. Theatre Breaks Wiki The best thing about this site is how easy it is to make a correction or small addition if you see something that is wrong or needs updating or adding to. It’s pretty easy to cross reference everything too, so that should help the people who like fiddling with these kind of things to keep it on track for the purpose intended, helping people planning London breaks and theatre breaks but why just in London? Some of the best shows start out in other UK cities, or regional theatres. Ghost for examle, which may be one of the biggest new musicals next year, is starting out with a serious run in Manchester before moving to London. The there are all the plays which earn their spurs at the Chichester, Bath or Edinburgh festivals before being picked up for a West End transfer to one of the big London theatres. But I digress because this is the London Breaks blog and that has to be the main purpose in this space – to help people decide on, plan and book London Breaks which doesn’t always have to mean theatre breaks at all. There are plenty of other things to do in London, such as go to a concert or a large sporting event. Hang out in one of the trendy areas or go on a river trip. The museums and art galleries are second to none, well maybe Paris breaks if pushed. And then there are the parks and open green spaces, the fabulous world cuisine restaurants and the famous London shops and markets.

London Breaks at Christmas and New Year

http://londonbreak.org.uk/45/london-breaks-at-christmas-and-new-year/

There are plenty of good reasons for choosing London breaks around Christmas and the New Year if you’re looking for a chance to get away and enjoy some real cultural entertainment. It’s the height of the show season for one thing, with comedy specials, concerts, plays, pantomime, Shakespeare and of course musicals. During the festive season London really goes to town with the decorations and lights and puts on not one but a whole series of outdoor ice skating rinks for that special winter wonderland atmosphere, so there is no shortage of things to do in London in the wintertime. Then there’s the shopping, with all the big department stores putting on special displays and having ranges of goodies that you just cannot get hold of outside of the capital. People come for London breaks from all over the UK and abroad too, so whoever you are you never feel alone amongst Londoners because the chances are the people next to you in the theatre are from out of town too. Apart from the big winter wonderland exhibition at the O2 there are also festival type events going on in places like Hyde Park and the Southbank, Kensington and Carnaby street. Here is a list of some of the most popular musicals this season for London breaks : Oliver Dirty Dancing Les Miserables Phantom of The Opera Lion King Billy Elliot
