Visiting London, may try to sneak an additional musical/play in while I'm there.  Anything that I should try to see?

 

I've searched these forums and have found zero threads about "The Grinning Man."  Reviews seem pretty all over the place.  Any locals have some insight on this production or any other productions that I should try to see?  Thank you

I’m actually in London now seeing quite a few shows. So far I’ve seen Long Days Journey Into Night and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. Seeing the matinee today of The Ferryman. Out if he 2 I’ve seen, absolutely go see Long Day’s Journey. Both Lesley Manville and Jeremy Irons are both sensational. Jamie is a fun show that’s pretty by the books, but very enjoyable! I’m going to see Thr Grinning Man matinee tomorrow so I’ll report back!

I'll wait to see what you say about The Grinning Man before I decide.  Thanks for taking the time to respond; I really appreciate it!

Grinning man was decent. Really neat staging and the lead guy is terrific! The book has some issues and I’m not crazy about the score as a whole but definitely some standout songs. I’d suggest seeing it if you can find a cheap ticket...I enjoyed myself for what I paid for the ticket!

Just wanted to follow-up, as thanks for your replies!  I ended up not seeing an additional show while I was in London.  I didn't have as much time as I thought, as there were so many historical locations I wished to view.

 

Next time, I'm definitely setting aside a week for London.  What a gorgeous city
