Whether you live near or far from your Mother, 26 March is a day you will want her to remember for something really special. And let's face it, chocolates soon disappear and flowers, lovely as they are, don't last much more than a week - at best. You could so easily treat her to a west end show with a night in one of our range of over 40 hotels and make a weekend of it. What could be better?

Does she love Sinatra? Then we have the perfect show for her - Sinatra at the Palladium or The Rat Pack. Or is she more into Abba or Queen - we can oblige there too with tickets for MAMMA MIA! and We Will Rock You! Then there are the perennial favourites like The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, Chicago, Billy Elliot, Mary Poppins, Blood Brothers, Fame, Guys and Dolls, The Lion King or Dancing in the Streets.

Other ideas range from comedy to high drama: Steptoe and Son in Murder at Oil Drum Lane, The Woman in Black, Blue Man Group, Stomp or Glorious! Or there's Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, The Creeper with Ian Richardson, Embers with Jeremy Irons - his first time on a West End stage in over 17 years, or Martin Shaw in A Man for All Seasons. On the actual day there are matinee performances - all at 3pm - of Blue Man Group, Stomp & The Lion King. That should be enough choice for anyone! But there's more&ldots; If classical music is more her thing, how about:
