Hello Dolly was amazing, and it's great to see Starlight Express back, there are so many great shows this year, but so many short runs!

I'll be back in London in Dec 8-19 for work and definitely hoping to catch Hadestown, Starlight Express, and Oliver revival then. Normally I don't get travel dates until a month before, so hopefully this time I can plan a bit better with more advanced notice. Disappointed to just miss Hello Dolly ... I didn't make it to these others but for me top shows I saw this year were Next To Normal and People, Places and Things. I want to try some smaller theatres outside the London West End this time ...

I definitely agree about Hadestown. I"m going to go and see it again. There really isn't a dull moment in it. I didn't know anything about it going in either. It's one of those rare shows where everything just works.

Hello Dolly and Starlight Express are my top two, two strangers is up there too. Looking forward to seeing Hadestown, Next to Normal and Slave play later this year.

Hello Dolly and Starlight Express are my 2 fave shows of the year (along with Spirited Away). Hadestown and Next to Normal were both outstanding, even if I didn’t love them quite as much. Not a big fan of Two Strangers, and haven’t seen the last two, although I really have no excuse for one since I live in Woolwich. Will put it on my list.

Well slightly curious….. seen about 15-20 shows yet none are on your list but have tickets for 3 of the shows in the forthcoming weeks….so “best is yet to come” !…..of the shows I’ve seen and are still playing, Guys and Dolls would be the one I definitely want to see again before it closes Ps if several shows are closing in Sept, is there clarity what’s replacing them…… and maybe plan for (Curious about Devil wears Prada)

I’ve never seen a musical in the West End but I’m absolutely desperate to see Starlight express!! I’m so close to getting my mom to book tickets but she keeps freaking out about going to London cause we live far away :(

Can't believe I'm only seen Next to normal of all these - although I do have '2 strangers' booked. 😃 Feel like I'm falling behind haha
Starlight express has been so polarising that it has put me a bit off watching it.
On another note - I'm surprised People, places and things didn't make top 7. Not as good as these?
