Fredo's Theatre Group 
He that books theatre tickets in advance sees the curtain rise on countless pleasures but he that ponders other choices sees only the curtain fall on opportunity.

Welcome to our Theatre Group website where we hope you will find all the information you need.  
 
This is a not-for-profit UK theatre-going group for our friends and colleagues and their own extended group of friends. It costs nothing to join us but must be by personal introduction from another member of the group. We provide theatre tickets (and coach transport from Southend, if required) for theatres in the West End. We do not sell tickets to the public.

The nominations are in for the WhatsOnStage Theatregoers Choice Awards 2012. These are the awards nominated and voted for by the great theatre-going public - that's us! They may be named for 2012 but of course they are awarded for theatre work in 2011, and a very splendid year it has been. Just take a look at the nominations this year and they will give you a good idea of all the good work done on London's many stages in the last twelve months. We usually disagree with many nominations and regret some which have been left off the nominations list - but not so much this year. Few of our favourites have been overlooked, but will they win? That is up to you, and all the thousands of voters who vote each year. They are popular awards, not judged by the experts, so they should reflect the current tastes of the theatre-going public. See if you agree with all the nominations....and then please do VOTE. Your click may make a difference. 
You can see the nominations list HERE and can also cast your votes at the same time. 
Mike   06/12/11 
The closing date for voting is the end of January so do please take a moment and cast your votes. You don't need to vote in every category, just the ones which interest you.
