    national express have "funfairs" offers on certain route, you may want to see if they have that

    as for hotel, you could try the secret hotels on last minute.com

    just a thought though, you are aware that wwry is currently doing a small tour to about 5 venues, you may want to see if thats closer to you and maybe cheaper, i know for instance its currently in manchester, and i know its coming to here in birmingham, not sure where the others are though

    You can get discounted theatre tickets for that date at broadwaybox.com amongst others. Theatremonkey is good for looking at the options available such as theatre and hotel packages.

    Click here for the UK tour dates from the official website. However the tour is a little smaller in scale than the West End production (which is not unusual as far as tours of WE shows go) and I believe there are some doubts as to Brenda Edwards ability to act and Kevin Kennedy's ability to... well, do anything theatrical, really...
    Yeah, whatever. I'm a grown up, I can take it...

    Didn't say it was bad. Just pointed out that there will be some differences in scale between tour and WE and that there are some doubts as to the extent of the scope of talents of 2 of the cast - something which I know is not the case in London. I have the knowledge to contribute usefully to the discussion and will continue to do so on this board. ;)

    I'm very well acquainted with WOS reviews. I've worked on fabulous shows which have been slated there and likewise on dreadful productions which have received good reviews there.
    Yeah, whatever. I'm a grown up, I can take it...

    Wow wot a fab boyf your are! If my hubby did this for me I would cry with delight. Oh but that would be after I had picked myself up from the floor having fainted with the shock of the fantastic pressie coupled with his excellent money saving skills!
