You can't beat London theater. The old Vic is worth seeing in its own right---just as a historic building. We went to see Shaw's Pygmalion and were very taken with the acting. It was a fun peoduction. Also recognized an actor from British TV. We had reserved really great seats. Everything went smoothly.
