Before I start, I just want to offer my condolences to London and it's amazing people. Tragedies like these are hard to understand. All we can do is find a way to come together and continue to remain strong during these sad times. Now I personally have never been to London. Although truth be told, it has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember.
Here's hoping I get the chance to go very soon. Now for those of you that are heading to London in the next few months, I have some exciting news. We sell tickets to every show. The only question you have to ask is what to see why you are there? As we speak there are over eighty plays and musicals playing in London. Here are a just a few of the shows you might want to check out during your stay.
42nd Street- Based on the 1933 Busby Berkeley movie, 42nd Street is now playing at the Drury Lane Theatre where it is scheduled to play thru February 2018. Featuring a score that includes such classic songs like, "We're In The Money", "Lullaby of Broadway", "Shuffle Off To Buffalo", and it's title song, 42nd Street is one show you don't want to miss.
Dreamgirls-Has it really been thirty-five years since Dreamgirls took the theatre world by a storm? Time sure does fly. Now here we are all these years later and the show is just as exciting as it was back in 1982. The show, which stars television and Dancing With the Stars winner Amber Riley (Glee), opened to rave reviews when it opened at the Savoy Theatre last November. Directed and choreographed by Tony winner Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon, Aladdin), Dreamgirls tells the story of the Dreams, three female singers from the mean streets of Detroit, who's meteoric rise soon brings them fame and fortune.
The Simon and Garfunkel Story- What's that you say? Another jukebox musical headed to the stage? What will they think of next? Now I don't know about you, but this show sounds like one that I want to see. I mean who doesn't love Simon and Garfunkel? Featuring such amazing tunes like, "Bridge Over Troubles Waters', "Mrs. Robinson", Sound of Silence", and "Homeward Bound", The Simon and Garfunkel Story is set to begin previews at the Lyric Theatre on September 4. I smell a hit!
Young Frankenstein- You've seen the movie. Now see the show. Based on the classic Mel Brook's film, Young Frankenstein is one of the most enjoyable shows that I have ever seen. The show, which is being directed and choreographed by five-time Tony winner Susan Stroman (The Producers, Contact), is set to begin performances at the Garrick Theatre on September 28. As of now the show is only on sale thru February 10, 2018. Here's hoping the show is well received.
Quiet the lineup don't you think? Oh and don't forget that we sell all of them. Not only that, but Applause is open seven days a week. 365 days a year. That means we are always here to help with all of your ticket needs. Until next time theatre fans.

Well it looks like the Broadway production of Cats has finally used up all of it's nine lives hasn't it? Just kidding. The show, which opened at the Neil Simon Theatre in July 2016, will play it's final performance on December 30. When it closes it will have played a total of sixteen previews, and five hundred and ninety-three performances.
