Would you spend the best part of £300 so your children could sit for two hours staring at a wall, moaning? No. Of course not. But that's what can happen if you take a family trip to one of the big West End theatres in London. Tickets can cost at least £50 each, then there's a meal and transport and possibly a hotel. Let's make that £500. OK, it's not a wall they'll be staring at but according to our imaginery experts, with just average luck you can guarantee that one of your party will have a seat behind the world's tallest and widest man.
Before you buy your tickets you should:
Check www.theatremonkey.co.uk for its detailed reviews of where to sit. In fact, there's pretty much everything you need for your trip to the theatre.
But also check http://www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk/tkts the famous half-price ticket booth in Leicester Square. You'll be surprised how often you don't need to pay full price if you can show up on the day.
