I arrive in London Monday Feb 17th and leave Wednesday the 26th. This trip is a 65th birthday present to myself and it is going to be all about the theatre. The first 2 times I was there I saw some incredible plays and I've seen a few on Broadway since then but I'm just rattled at so many choices and I'd like your opinions. This is what I have so far
Tues 18th Matinee - You Stupid Darkness Evening - Endgame
Wednesday 19th Matinee - ? Evening - Mary Poppins
Thurs 20th Matinee - ? Evening - ?
Friday Matinee - Cirque du Solei Evening - ?
Sat Matinee - ? Evening - Upstart Crow
Still have Sunday, Monday and Tues free also.
These are all I have booked so far.
I still want to see Uncle Vanya (Rush?) Cyrano de Bergerac (I keep putting this on list and then taking it off) A Number Kunene and the King (Rush?) Come from Away (saw on Broadway but need to see again) Rush? Rage Of Narcissus Matilda and/or Lady in Black
What would be on your "can't miss" list?
Thank you

If you like classic, then Uncle Vanya is very good. Get good seats, worth it. I’m not the musical expert, plenty others here are, but Matilda is fun.

Sounds like a great trip!
From your list I've seen Uncle Vanya and Kunene and the King, would recommend both. Good rush tickets for Kunene on TodayTix
Also would suggest - Nora: A Doll's House (Young Vic) Leopoldstadt A Taste of Honey Albion (Almeida)

Agree with all of @xanderl's choices above, and I'd add The Welkin and The Visit at the National, although the latter is long.

I know you didn't ask for ideas of things to do in London, but as you will be going to the Royal Albert Hall anyway, have you thought about taking a tour beforehand? Next Friday there are still spaces on the 12 noon tour, or earlier if you'd prefer, and if you decide to have a spot of lunch before CdS, your ticket gets you a small discount.
