Hi! I'll be making a trip to London in mid March, and was hoping for some help to choose which productions I should prioritise checking out!
I've already made plans for the following based on the reviews here and my interests: 1. Operation Mincemeat 2. Hadestown 3. Guys and Dolls 4. Standing At The Sky's Edge
Currently am also considering these, but am unlikely to have time for all: 1. Tina The Musical 2. Sister Act 3. The Motive and the Cue 4. Hills of California 5. Witness for the Prosecution 6. My Neighbour Totoro
Any thoughts on which of these are worth prioritising over the others would be much appreciated!!
For some background, some of my favourite productions I've watched are Wicked, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Half A Sixpence, Once, Book of Mormon, Into the Woods, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Harry Potter.

You like musicals, and Tina is one of the best jukebox musicals I've seen. I'd see that one.

I know you didn't ask me, but I will say Tina is not nearly as good as Jersey Boys. The original star Adrienne Warren made the show better than it was because she was great but she left the musical years ago. Don't know how the current cast compares, but I would say it's unlikely they found anyone as good as Warren to lead the show. Here is a review from when it opened in 2019. www.timeout.com/london/theatre/tina-the-tina-turner-musical-review
