London's West End is the best place in the country to see a musical, but if you don't happen to live close by then getting to and from the shows can be a chore to say the least. This experience makes the whole thing hassle-free, leaving you to relax and enjoy the show, and maybe a bit of shopping too. You'll get two top-price tickets to your choice from the following list of West End shows (subject to availability): 39 Steps, Blood Brothers, Chicago, We Will Rock You, Buddy (to 6 Feb 2009), Woman in Black, Grease (matinees only) and Sound of Music (to 28 Feb 2009). You'll be in the best seats available on the night in either the stalls or the dress circle, so you'll have a fantastic view of the action. Then after the show, spend the night at a centrally located three star hotel (within London's zone one). All hotel rooms are en-suite and offer a choice of twin or double bedroom. Breakfast is also included.
