Save/ShareAttention, American visitors to London who are paying high prices to see Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals in the large West End theaters: Are you crazy?
The locals are far more excited about pop-up theater performances all over town. Abandoned warehouses and after hours subway stations now double as stages. Shows are inventive and inexpensive.
This summer, Spacey and his Old Vic colleagues created a 160-seat theater in the tunnel, with Art Deco cinema seats and The Bunker bar.
Visiting in December? Book now to see a tunnel staging of Cart Macabre, a co-production by Old Vic and Living Structures. It's been described as "a restless exploration of isolation and disorientation, an act of faith on the part of the audience." I admit that sounds a little weird. But tickets are only 14 pounds each! And think of the stories you'll have to tell when you get back home. (December 4 to 22, livingstructures.co.uk and oldvictheatre.com.)
Pop-up theater performances won't have a familiar Phantom score, but don't let that weaken your resolve to try something new during your vacation.
MORE LONDON POP-UP THEATER…
Fly Theatre is reviving the workplace satire Contractions in an empty office complex in the prime shopping district of Oxford Street. Audience is limited in size to 40 people for each performance of the comedy, a kind of twist on The Office. 26-30 October 2010. contractionsplc.co.uk, £9.
INSIDER TIP: To hear about future shows in the Old Vic Tunnels, fire off an email to oldvictunnels@oldvictheatre.com with "mailing list" in the subject line.

Awesome! I'd love to be back in London again. And no, this American doesn't care for the Webber West End musicals. I'd pay top dollar to see another performance at the Old Vic, however. The tunnels sound really exciting.

You dont need to have to develop your own products or support, you dont need to have to handle the orders, you dont need to have to deal with the customer assistance and transport. In some cases, you dont even need to have your possess web site. The only point that you must do is marketplace the retailers merchandise and/or solutions and bring in great commissions dependent on the executed actions.
