Theatre date ideas…
Sunny Afternoon
“It’s hard to know where to start with Sunny Afternoon when showering it with praise,” wrote Matt Buttell in his Ticketmaster Blog review. The show, based on the songs of The Kinks has extended its current run at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre until 25 June 2016. And it’s no surprise, with the show documenting the band’s love affair with the capital in stunning style.
Hand To God
Like to laugh together? Prepare yourselves for a hand puppet that’s completely out of control; he’s shocking, dangerous and taking no prisoners. All hell is breaking out at the Vaudeville Theatre as this hilarious and provocative new comedy lands direct from Broadway, where the New York Times hailed it “Wickedly Funny” and the New Yorker called it “Sesame Street meets The Exorcist”.
Movie Classics
Step up your movie game this Valentine’s Day. The Barbican will screen an oh-so-romantic selection of melodic film scores for a special concert on Valentine’s Day, including the main themes from Pride and Prejudice, Out of Africa, Titanic, Love Story, Brief Encounter (Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2), Romeo and Juliet, Somewhere in Time, Dr Zhivago (Lara’s Theme), Shakespeare in Love, Love Actually and Ten (Ravel’s Bolero).
Disney presents The Lion King
Yep, The Lion King is still totally awe-inspiring. The beautifully reimagined musical by director Julie Taymor brings Disney’s beloved classic to life. Not just for families, it’s the perfect date for those who are still kids at heart.
Close To You
Having triumphed in New York with rave reviews, the wildly successful celebration of Burt Bacharach’s songbook Close To You is now a West End must. Fall in love with Bacharach (and your date for the night) all over again in a dynamic, uplifting and magical journey through his hits.
Beautiful – The Carole King Musical

Wicked
Want a surefire way to impress your date? Wicked is one of the West End’s finest and never fails to leave you having anything less than an amazing night. It’s touching story means it’s perfect for a girl’s night out, too!
