Good time to book We Will Rock You theatre breaks in London for the main show while the touring production is also out and about. We don't know how long exactly the Dominion Theatre in Tottenham Court Road is going to carry on as the home venue for We Will Rock You but it's a big theatre and the Queen rock musical has been playing there for over ten years already. That's a heck of a long run for a West End musical. I like the way different stars come and go but the show goes on forever. For example, we saw Rachel Tucker as Meat and she was great in that role, and according to the forum she was brilliant in We Will Rock You on the nights she got to play Scaramouche as well, and then went on to play Elphaba in Wicked where she's a huge hit. If you see the touring version of WWRY by the way, you get to see Jenny one of the Dorothy contenders from Over The Rainbow. And the best of luck to her too.

Love Never Dies Reviews
There are plenty of Love Never Dies reviews out there, and more than a few are tainted by the negativity of the "phans" who just can't let go of their ove for teh original Phantom Of The Opera enough to cope with a sequel. It's a shame, and rather silly in my opinion. One writer recently explained that they nearly passed up an opportunity to see the new production by Andrew Lloyd Webber's continuation of the Phantom of the Opera, called Love Never Dies.
I allowed my cynisicm to get the better of me, thinking that there is no way that you can continue the magic of a classic. How wrong I was.So luckily this person had an open enough mind to at least see the show, and allow themselves to be captivated by it. But how many others have missed the chance to appreciate Raol, Christine and The Phantom in a new setting?
As it turned out, it has been one of the best productions for a long time. It is so refreshing to hear a new totally new original musical score that isn't a rehashing of something else. Well OK, there are some tunes of Webber's that may have had an outing in one or two of his less popular shows before , but that is the artist's privelidge. And he includes a classic rock opera signature into his musical composition which some may roll their eyes at, but it is something that is uniquely Webber that I adore. He has been credited with bringing Opera to the masses.
Love Never Dies isn't one of the cheapest tickets in London's West End but you can definitely see the money up there on the stage. There are at least 30 cast members, with lots of costumes and special effects to keep you impressed.
