Story Time: Imelda Staunton Meet
This was literally the best day of my life and definitely the highlight of my summer!
This summer I was able to have the opportunity to do a summer course at LSE in London. Since I love going to plays and musicals I often found myself wandering around the West End, which is essentially the Broadway of England. I saw the sign for Hello Dolly and saw her name and knew I had to see it. I thought tickets would be impossible but I got mine for ÂŖ15, but obviously it wasnât the best view.
After the show I stood by the stage door with a bunch of other people and just waited with the program I had bought. She was super sweet when she came out and was trying to sign everyoneâs booklets. She was amazing in the show too so if youâre in London I definitely recommend you see it!

Attending a performance in London's West End is a must for theater lovers, especially during the summer months when the city is alive with cultural events. Shows like Hello Dolly, featuring the talented Imelda Staunton, highlight the rich tapestry of London's theatrical landscape. When planning a visit, consider booking tickets in advance to ensure you secure good seats as they can often sell out quickly. Fans of musicals can explore various options, ranging from classic shows to contemporary productions. The West End is not only home to major theatrical gems but also offers a vibrant atmosphere with numerous dining options where you can enjoy a pre-show meal or a post-show drink. If you're traveling from afar, combine your theater visit with sightseeing in Central London, visiting landmarks like the iconic Big Ben or the historic Tower of London. Moreover, meeting stars like Imelda Staunton is a unique perk of attending live performances. Stage doors often become gathering spots for fans hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorites after the show. Such experiences enrich a visit and create lasting memories, making it worthwhile to immerse yourself in London's theater scene. Whether you're a local or a tourist, exploring the West End should be high on your summer to-do list!
