We should be in the UK from about June 22 to July 2.
We don't usually plan too much ahead unless there is something special - last year, we got tickets to Jerusalem and Bonnie & Clyde ahead of time.
Right now, shows we have not seen but might have interest in are Harry Potter and Patriots.
But, y'all should have other ideas!

The Pillowman at the Duke of York's would be on my list.
Do we know what's afoot at the National in June/July?

Oklahoma! at the Wyndham's, Groundhog Day at the Old Vic, Cabaret at the Kit Kat. They haven't opened yet but these seem interesting: Aspects of Love at the Lyric, Crazy for You at the Gillian Lynne, Guys and Dolls at the Bridge, Mrs Doubtfire at Shaftesbury, Rose at the Ambassadors. Chichester season is pretty exciting if you want to go outside London

Chichester season is pretty exciting if you want to go outside London We saw Cabaret last time. The revivals of Oklahoma, Guys and Dolls, Aspects of Love (and 42d Street) just don't entice. I've never seen Crazy for You - but I always understood its selling point to be Stroman choreography. No interest in Groundhog Day or Doubtfire. Rose closes June 18. We missed Mincemeat last summer, but excited to see it at the Fortune. We might book it ahead of time. I've wanted to catch a show at Chichester or Leicester Curve. Hmm, a two show day of Assassins and Mom, How Did You Meet The Beatles might work. We have to be in Oxford by the evening of the 25th June. Look like the Curve has a ballet. |

Many West End theatres have yet to announce their shows from the end of April onwards. Should see some announcements imminently, particularly in relation to plays.

On the possible list with recent announcements: Mark Rylance in Dr. Semmelweis and now Brokeback Mountain.
However, neither is tantalizing enough to pre-book - as yet.

Slight update:
We have booked Motive and Cue; Pillowman, and Mincemeat.
Unfortunately, had to pay top price for Mincemeat, and ordinarily would have waited to book, but it was one of the shows I most wanted to see (having missed it last summer - my bad).
