London (UK!) Theatre recommendations
We're in the UK for Xmas and at some point will attempt to go to a show (musicals preferred).
Anyone got any good recommendations for us - with two fanatical dancing teenage daughters? But will consider drama too.
Wanted to try Singing in the Rain (for the tap!) but that appears to have ended. Other trips resulted in The Lion King, Wicked and Billy Elliot, FYI.
Ta muchly.

We recently went to see War Horse, very different and truly amazing! Singing, choreography and drama (and a few tears from me 
).

Re: London (UK!) Theatre recommendations
Someone else mentioned this one - I suppose I was put off by the film which I don't love!
Ok, thank you, worth a look...I don't mind bawling at the theatre. 
Mmm, true!
Thanks for playing folks.

Aladdin @ the New Wimbledon Theatre. Not terribly edgy but it'll be lots of fun.

I've heard book of Mormon is fab, but you'll have to check suitability

Mamamia and Top hat (for the tap) look quite good, but it depends on what your kids like.

Shrek is fantastic but I would go for Matilda which is very very good.

We Will Rock You is supposed to be excellent if it's still on.
