I live about 10 miles outside Belfast, so it’s about 30-45 minutes drive from where I am to see a show in Belfast (depending on traffic thanks to new bus lanes the whole way there, it’s basically a single lane the whole way from my hometown to Belfast). 2 hours drive to Dublin, which normally happens probably on 2 or 3 times a year. An hour and a half flight from Belfast to London, normally every 2-3 months. 7 hour flight to NYC (flights from Dublin so plus 2 hours to get to Dublin Airport) only going for the 3rd time next month, my friend and I decided to do New York every 2 years. We went to New York last year so the plan was to go 2020. Then I went through a bad break up with my boyfriend back in November (we’ve got back together since), so next months trip was just booked to cheer myself up at the time.

Living in Coventry I would occasionally go down to London for a day or a weekend, mostly Miss Saigon Now I live an hour away from Central London, but have been to Birmingham & Southampton a few times for touring/regional shows (usually Miss Saigon), and in one extreme example went to Plymouth for a day (again for Miss Saigon) Last year took a trip to New York, and while I was there took a day each time to travel to Providence (Saigon again!) and New Haven for touring shows I wanted to see This month as well went on a mini break to Stuttgart for Anastasia and Hunchback What we need to take from this is I really like Miss Saigon, and I was cursed with living in the Midlands while it was in London but living in London once West End closed and it started touring

Not very far to be honest as I live in London. Usually go to Chichester once a year and have gone to Southend, Chelmsford and Colchester once.

I usually travel in on SWT from Egham station. My closest station is Sunningdale but there is a road 30 seconds walk from Egham station with totally free parking (and usually lots of spaces) so that wins. Also there are 4 trains an hour into Waterloo with a journey time of 40 minutes. I think I'm really lucky arriving at Waterloo since most of what I see is at NT and ROH so it's really handy for those. Also the West End is easily walkable from there. I don't think I'd come in as much (more or less every week) if it were a different station.
I also go to Chichester, Guildford, Newbury (Watermill), Leicester and Sheffield.
