The Best of the rest

6. Les Miserables!

Jean Valjean, released on parole after 19 years on the chain gang, finds that the yellow ticket-of-leave he must, by law, display condemns him to be an outcast. Only the saintly Bishop of Digne treats him kindly and Valjean, embittered by years of hardship, repays him by stealing some silver. Valjean is caught and brought back by police, and is astonished when the Bishop lies to the police to save him, also giving him two precious candlesticks. Valjean decides to start his life anew. But will fate allow him to? The acclaimed, long running musical extravaganza continues.

8. Cats

Andrew Lloyd Webber's international award-winning musical is now in its 19th year, having opened in the West End on May 11, 1981. Based on T S Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, it follows the exploits of a variety of feline friends who are gathering for the Jellicle Ball. During the ball, only one cat will be bestowed with a precious extra life, and the tension begins to mount. The score includes Memory and The Magical Mr Mistoffolees.

9. My Fair Lady

The story tells of Henry Higgins, an opinionated linguistics professor and confirmed bachelor, who makes a wager with a colleague that within six months he can transform a cockney flower seller, Eliza Doolittle, into a lady who can take her place in high society. He wins the bet, but doesn't bargain for the profound effect she has on his life. The score is brimming with great songs, including 'I Could Have Danced All Night', 'The Rain in Spain', 'Wouldn't it be Loverly' and 'I'm Getting Married in the Morning'. Starring Martine McCutcheon on certain nights.
