    Hi

    sign up to travelzoo and get their email alerts for latest deals with lastminute.com and others. They had a good deal on theatre breaks recently where we booked for lion king and got a free meal thrown in for no extra costs.

    There are also some good deals on London hotels if its not included.

    East Coast trains (or whatever they've been rebranded as since the government took them over) give you 10% off advance single tickets if you book them online.

    Travelodge in Covent Garden is close to the theatre district.

    Show-wise, maybe Oliver!, Wicked, Jersey Boys, Lion King, We Will Rock You or Grease? Lastminute.com normally do good ticket and dinner deals. Or check www.daysoutguide.co.uk - they might be renewing their various ticket deals that you can get with a train ticket for the day you go to see the show.

    Have you tried looking at local coach companies ? They often seem to have theatre breaks to London including an overnight stay - try checking their websites or look for adverts in the local papers
