Shows you would recommend

Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein is hilarious. Not for the easily offended.

Not sure if this helps- live theatre shown at the local cinema is amazing. NT shows Shakespeare, ROH has ballets & operas.

Another musicals' fan here I watched many of them and it's the same in case of my favourites but the first one which came into my mind for recommendations is "Les Miserables". It's a very good Broadway show, its plot is based on the famous Victor Hugo's novel and in my opinion it's one of the best in case of literature too. I watched it live and it gave me such strong emotions, I cried during some episodes...
Also I can recommend you "Rent", "The Phantom of The Opera" (there's a very beautiful romantic story), "Hairspray" and "8 Women". If you like historic genre, I can add "Hamilton" here too, an interesting and original show, even I in my age liked it It's on stage by the way till the end of this year and the next one link and I can say that in this case no recordings can be compared with the live show

I saw Young Frankenstein last night - highly recommend it if you're in need of a good laugh.

Great production, singing & dancing but be warned it's shamelessly silly and bawdy!

Took my dear sister to see Sunny Afternoon for her birthday last year in our local theatre. They did afternoon tea beforehand too (matinee). We both thoroughly enjoyed it. That'll Be The Day is a fantastic show too. Songs through the decades. All very talented singers and musicians.

So many recommendations, and we've seen and enjoyed many of them. One woman's meat at is another woman's poison though, so recommendations aren't a lot of use. We went to see Wicked, Warhorse and One Man Two Guvnors after rave reviews and "you must see"s from friends and hated them all. My favourites have been Blood Brothers, Miss Saigon, Les Mis, Sweeney Todd and Sunny Afternoon, for what it's worth (not a lot!). I'll definitely be looking out for the Bob Dylan one now though - we're big fans and hadn't heard of it.

I have seen Chicago twice and would go many more times I loved it so much.

Girl from the North Country sounds just up my street. I feel a little trip down to that there London might be in order.
