Arts & Entertainment

Your culturally savvy Arts and Entertainment Committee is here to help you take advantage of London's dizzying array of cultural happenings and to make sure you do so with great company by your side. Events will range from evening musicals to afternoon picnics and strolls in diverse London neighborhoods, from nights of raucous laugher at the Comedy Store to springtime day trips to sites and events beyond the city's borders. Whenever we can, we make sure to get you a solid discount on any costs involved.

Planning your own outing? Read more about museums, theatre and much more in our Partners' Survival Guide.

Upcoming Events - 2008

Event Wicked – The Musical
Date 20th November, Thursday
Time 19:30
Cost £20 for the partners and £29.50 for the students (Limited Seats)
Details & Directions

WICKED is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire that re-imagined the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’. The spellbinding stage musical adaptation is packed full of wonder and enchantment, transporting audiences to a fantasy world of witches and wizards to tell the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, and how one came to be called 'good' and the other 'wicked'…

WICKED first dazzled Broadway in October 2003. Now Stephen Schwartz’s powerful songs, a visually stunning production and a story full of surprises, wit and emotion are captivating audiences in London and ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

Experience this unforgettable, award-winning musical and discover that you’ve not been told the whole story about the Land of Oz.

If you fancy a pint of real ale or some other refreshment, there'll be plenty of bars, and the Pimms bus. And yes, there will be lots of smoothies. There will also be lots of music acts and activities for adults and children. Here are a few of them:

Carrie Bradshaw continues to narrate the story of her and her friends’ obsession with love, sex and fashion in New York City.
We join them 4 years on from the end of the hit TV series, and as we’ve seen from the trailer – Carrie may well be getting carried away with her wedding to Mr Big, Charlotte’s long awaited pregnancy and various shenanigans of an illicit nature from Miranda and Samantha.

About the Event:
If you have made up your mind to watch the movie with us, please send your RSVPs to partners.ae@googlemail.com (Jennifer) by 4th June, Wednesday at 14:00 pm or you can wait until the last minute to text her. We look forward to meeting you there!
