Lyceum Theatre in London's West End<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Of all the attractions, activities, sightseeing and nightlife in London<\/a>, theatre reigns supreme.<\/strong> From lavish West End<\/a> productions to smaller, experimental shows, taking in at least one theatrical performance is a necessity for travelers to London\u2014and while New York Habitat can\u2019t get you the best seat in the house, we can definitely get you the best apartments in\u00a0London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For big-name productions, spectacle and actors this autumn, consider getting tickets in advance for Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s<\/strong> (which immortalized Audrey Hepburn on screen), Billy Elliott, Shakespeare\u2019s Othello or All\u2019s Well That Ends Well, Inherit the Wind<\/strong> (with Kevin Spacey), the anticipated musical Oliver!, The Shawshank Redemption <\/strong>(based on Stephen King\u2019s novella and made famous by the Hollywood film), Dirty Dancing<\/strong> (which does honor to the late Patrick Swayze) or countless other West End performances.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for titles that are perhaps a little less well known but come with loads of critical acclaim, you may want to catch Enron, Orphans<\/strong> (a favorite at the Edinburgh Festival), The Rise and Fall of Little Voice<\/strong>, Samuel Beckett\u2019s masterful Endgame<\/strong>, An Inspector Calls<\/strong>, the quintessentially English Prick Up Your Ears<\/strong>, War Horse<\/strong>, The Fastest Clock in the Universe<\/strong> (which first starred a young Jude Law) or any of the other quality shows available at venues throughout the city.<\/p>\n

For fringe theatre that often offers cheaper seats with the same high quality performances and more cutting-edge material, plan on seeing the politically relevant Not Black and White: Seize the Day<\/strong>, a Tennessee Williams\u2019 triple bill<\/strong> at the New End Theatre, a \u201cre-imaging\u201d of Shakespeare\u2019s Macbeth<\/strong>, The Cut Off Festival<\/strong> (finalists of which are voted upon by the audience), the eclectic Infinite Variety<\/strong>, Showstopper<\/strong> (which is an improvised musical written an hour beforehand) or a variety of other experimental shows at smaller venues around London.<\/p>\n
