Here's an excellent wheeze that lets you jazz up your January with a trip to a show that might normally break your bank account.
Get Into London Theatre (GILT) offers tickets to over 50 top shows for £10, £15, £25 or £35 between 1 January and 10 February 2012. With most stalls seats in the West End selling for £60+ this is an opportunity to get the best views for a bargain and boost the morale of the army of hoofers, thesps and luvvies who continue to perform their hearts out, whatever the season.
There's also a list of special activities that you can book with your show tickets, such as backstage tours, song and dance workshops or tea with the Gruffalo. All of which might make a smashing Christmas gift.
Booking is now open so consult the full list of participating shows and snap up those snazzy seats sharpish.
