The Lion King - musical play
Pretty much everybody knows the story with its references to Hamlet, and we are well acquainted with most of the songs penned by Elton John and Tim Rice. This made it even more enjoyable, being able to have something so familiar on stage in front of you.

Spamalot - musical play
Inspired by and lovingly ripped off from Monty Python And The Holy Grail, Spamalot tells the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Although in this tale, the King and his emissaries are all completely bonkers, as is every other person they come into contact with in their quest for the Holy Grail.

The Lord Of The Rings - musical play
Tolkien may have needed 1,200 pages, Peter Jackson may have needed over eight hours, but thankfully the team behind the stage version of The Lord Of The Rings were happy to compress their version of the tale into three, relatively short acts...

The Sound Of Music - musical play
We may have had our fill of reality TV churning out "stars" like some Turkey Twizzler factory (and of the same quality) but in the case of How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? we put our hands up. Connie Fisher absolutely shines.

Desperately Seeking Susan
This stage adaptation of the 1985 film about mistaken identity between a bored housewife and a wild child in New York is less Get Into The Groove (the original Madonna songs aren\'t used) and more One Way Or Another (Blondie songs step in to save the show).
