Going to London for the week of Thanksgiving (Nov 18-25) for a friend’s wedding. The last 4 days are taken up with wedding stuff but the first few are open.

Looking for some suggestions for what to do in the evenings (ideally at least the theatre once) for the 19th, 20th or 21st.

GlenGarry Glen Ross is one of my favorite movies but not sure I want to see the play, having seen the film a dozen times or so.

Boeing Boeing has gotten very mixed reviews, some love it, others hate it.

Any other ideas? Thanks!

The Mousetrap was excellent (although you’ve probably seen it if you’re a theatre fan), and The Woman in Black has also got some good reviews.

Have you considered a theatre and meal deal? I’ve used a couple and they aren’t bad.

As I’m sure you’re aware, we don’t do Thanksgiving over here.

We Will Rock You is pretty fun, especially if you’re a Queen fan.
