I must admit, I don't mind 'Phantom' or 'Les Mis' and I'm happy for Benny & Bjorn to continue to make more and more money (money money) so fine for 'Mamma Mia' to stay too. I'd get rid of 'Thriller' and 'Wicked' myself. Even though it isn't a long runner I'd get rid of 'Beautiful' as well.

I'm always genuinely surprised whenever I remember that Thriller! is still going, it kind of baffles me to be honest. I was also quite happy to hear about Jersey Boys closing.

Thriller and Stomp need to go, and I've never seen the appeal of Motown either (but maybe I'm just bitter Memphis closed!). Phantom was much better on tour, so I'd say revive that and close the London production. I wouldn't miss Book of Mormon or the Lion King either.
I would, however, miss Les Mis, Wicked and Mamma Mia - I don't see any of them particularly frequently, but as far as I'm concerned they can run for ever!

Any jukebox show currently running! Even though I have to admit that "Mamma Mia" is one of my guilty pleasures. I don't mind Phantom (the first musical I ever saw) and Les Mis (my first west end experience) staying for a few more years and achieving "Mousetrap"-status. But my personal obsession with Les Miz and frequent visits came to an end when they moved to the Queen's and introduced the new (scaled down) orchestrations.Me too... It lost something, I think. And even though I've seen it at the Queen's, four or five times, it never seems the same as as it was before. Mamma Mia! when it moved to the Novello was downsized and lost some of its charm |

Wicked needs to go, awful boring first act, slightly enjoyable second, but that day I sat in the front row with all those crazy fans enough is enough

I'm surprised no-one has ever thought of turning The Mousetrap into a musical. (Perhaps they have. Perhaps it's touring somewhere...) Might be a bit cheesey. |
