Wicked
Okay, so Fiyero is a heartthrob. But we all know that the real love story is the friendship between Galinda (AKA Glinda the Good) and Elphaba. Hold space for the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity’ with your pals and the Wicked Witch of the West (End) and experience the award-winning musical in its on-stage glory this Valentine’s day. Whether you’ve seen the film, read the book or know nothing of the Wizard of Oz, Wicked is sure to fill your Valentine’s weekend with magic, wonder and excitement. Extra points if you go in a pink and green outfit.
The FRIENDS™ Experience: The One in London
Who needs messy situationships when you can spend Valentine’s Day with your FRIENDS. The ultimate Palentine’s outing, you can head over to Central Perk, play foosball at Chandler and Joey’s, pivot a couch like Ross, look through the peephole at Monica and Rachel’s, and so much more. We’ll be there for you.
Cabaret
For a quirky, darker and more sensual Valentine’s Day weekend, the Kit Kat Club is open and your host? None other than the one, the only, Billy Porter. No one quite does pageantry and theatricality quite like superstar Billy Porter and the talented cast of Cabaret. Forget the movie with Liza Minelli (just for a second) and step into an immersive musical experience like no other.
Phantom Peak
Sometimes, the best way to show your love and appreciation to your friends or your lovers is by taking them to a steampunk, platypus-themed, lore-driven theatrical immersive experience set in a fictional town. For those of you looking for something truly out-there this Valentine’s Day, take a trip to Phantom Peak, where there first ever JonaCon is taking place. A convention with all the fictional town’s beloved characters, plus new quests, new lore, new merch and a new season for all lovers of escape rooms, puzzles, weird stories, and delicious cocktails.
SIX
Where history and pop music converge, this musical where the six wives of Henry VIII form a girlband to tell their stories is the perfect outing for anyone – single or otherwise. Just because a power-hungry king tries to silence you, doesn’t mean you can’t tell your story. So really, this is an empowering tale of self-love, which should definitely be celebrated this weekend too.
Titanique
Sure, a sinking ship is not the most hopeful image of love, but a night of Celine Dion’s classic ballads in a theatre show that’s 50% comedy, 50% musical, 100% camp? That’s a great night out if we do say so ourselves. Whether you’re a Valentine’s grinch hoping to watch the demise of Jack and Rose, or simply a lover of all things Celine, Titanique is sure to entertain you and your friends near, far – wherever you are.
