London vs. New York Theatre

London Theatre or New York Theatre….that may be the question: Whether ‘tis more economical, authentic, stimulating, or glamorous to choose one experience over the other may be a decision which requires advice from your well-traveled friends, theatre critics and certainly your travel agent.

Fox World Travel can assist you with the travel information necessary to make an educated decision and help you with your “theatre break” as they say in Europe.

Things to consider –

1 – U.S. Citizens are required to have a passport to travel to London. If you don’t have one, you should get one. After all, when your friends invite you to join them on their London Theatre “last minute special” you don’t want to turn them down because you don’t have proper documentation.

2 – Flying time from O’Hare to London is eight hours, from LA it's about ten hours and from New York, about seven hours. But, interestingly enough, airfare is not always logically based on the flying times. Airfare to London during what is commonly called low season (November to March) and shoulder season (April, May, and October) is often deeply discounted and could conceivably be less than your New York airfare.

3 – Both destinations offer discounted theatre tickets at kiosks throughout the theatre districts. This is an excellent way to find discounted tickets with savings of up to 50 per cent (usually available on the day of the show). Of course, if there is a “must-see” show on your wish list, you should consider buying those in advance. Many tour operators will include show tickets of your choice as an optional component in their packages.

4 – Where to stay? New York accommodations in the Broadway Theatre District can range from modest to magnificent depending on location and amenities. When looking for accommodations in London select hotels in the Leicester Square or Piccadilly area to be close to West End Theatre.

Whether you choose New York or London, the experts at Fox World Travel can help you develop the theatre package that’s right for you.
