First shows you'll see when they start again

My last show before lockdown was Dear Evan Hansen so I'd like to resume with seeing that again.

I'd really like to get to an opening night, it should be a good atmosphere. I'm hoping to get to Wicked. I'd also like to get back to Les Mis and I haven't seen Dear Evan Hansen yet.

It's difficult, if not impossible, to tell, but... When I think about the plays that I didn't get to see and already had a ticket for before the lockdown, I think The Glow was the one I was most looking forward to. Mostly because I've read and heard all these wonderful things about the work of Alistair McDowall, and I've only seen All of it, which doesn't exactly seem like a typical Alistair McDowall play at all (although it was lovely!).
So I would be perfectly happy with that being my first post-coronavirus play, and the Court being the first theatre I go back to, and it also seems sort of realistic, since the Court did announce that their productions were simply being postponed, but that they plan on bringing them all to the stage at some point.

There's also the 'unrealistic wishlist' scenario (in terms of who I would ideally love to see on stage and in the creative team during my first post-pandemic visit, although I don't really have an idea about what play I'd like that to include).
And, of course, the most realistic scenario of all is that I'll simply buy a ticket to see the first thing that gets staged in one of the theatres I frequented before this 'new normal' started, because a) I really (really...) miss theatre and b) I'll be eager to support them. 

In all likelihood my first show will be a panto, assuming they go ahead.

Otherwise I hope my first show will be Austentatious, which due to it's improvised nature I'm hoping will he one of the first shows back.

The Jermyn St Tempest was cancelled a couple of days before I was due to see it and they are intending to open with it. Tough to stay 2m away from the actors there though.

May not be the first, as my joy of cycling has been reawakened I will be looking to combine it with my love of Shakespeare.

Likely to be next spring at the earliest, a Friday evening performance at the RSC Stratford Upon Avon then a 2 day cycle to catch a Sunday evening performance at the Globe. Could easily be done in a day as only just over a 100 miles but might as well make a weekend of it with pub lunches and cafe stops on the way.

I really don't know. It all depends on when I can pluck up courage to catch a bus, a train, another bus, sit in a crowded theatre, and repeat home journey in reverse.

First London show will most likely be Come From Away, though during this lockdown period I’ve been really wanting to see Wicked, Mamma Mia and Mary Poppins as well.
Reality I’ll probably go back to a regional venue like Bristol Hippodrome first. Although it isn’t exactly a small venue I don’t have to deal with public transport to get there, deal with just the theatre first and then build up to taking the train into London alongside seeing a show. Doubt it’ll make much difference but in my head it does so if that’s still the case than that’s the way I’ll do it

Hopefully Hairspray.

I have to add City Of Angels to my list as I forgot that I bought tickets months ago for August 31st via TodayTix. Now if they cancel that show I'll reschedule. More importantly, will I be allowed to travel t London form the US in August without the quarentee restriction of 14 days. If I can do a week in London, I'm there.

As a person note, when I went to London in May of 2019 I got very sick. Never happened before. I thing it was the tree pollen that got me. I was so sick when I arrive back in NYC that my doctors were concerned.

At the moment I don't know if the hotel will be open by the time I go to London.

I do know that I will see Sunday in the Park with George next year (credit note received), but I was booked for City of Angels and Hello Dolly for August as well. I think they will both be gone completely.

So ... if I get to London at all, I might try and see Wicked as I've never seen it before. HP&tCC is already booked for the Sunday of my proposed weekend. Not sure about anything else.
