Wicked Theatre Breaks This Winter

Wicked Theatre Breaks Winter Offer Wicked theatre breaks - Land of Oz Wicked is always a popular choice for theatre breaks but it’s extra special at this witchy time of year. Why not book a Halloween special treat with a difference this year and try a Wicked theatre break? The Story of Wicked The story of Wicked isn’t as straightforward as you might suppose. The tale of the two witches and how one came to be evil and the other good has a few surprises for you along the way. I’m really not going to say more than that as I don’t want to give too much away! Full of spectacular special effects Wicked is a great introduction to musicals for younger fans. Some of it is quite dark and scary but then most children enjoy that anyway. Staying in London with Children It’s a bit of a nightmare trying to travel home with tired children after a long show. This is where booking a whole package really pays off but don’t fall into the trap of booking a hotel miles away from the theatre. If you look closely at the hotel listing you will usually see a distance from theatre. Go for the one nearest if at all possible. Taking tired children on the underground late at night is no fun at all and should be avoided at all costs!If you are staying further out then a black cab is the best, safest and easiest option. Special Offer on Wicked Theatre Breaks There’s a special offer on Wicked theatre breaks this winter with Show and Stay. There is £20 off Wicked theatre breaks to be taken in October and November 2009 if you book between now and November 2nd. ** book Wicked Theatre Breaks Online **
