Chicago is one of the most popular musicals around. Set in prohibition-era Chicago, the musical tells the story of singer Roxie Hart who murders her lover and along with fellow jail-inmate, Velma Kelly, becomes an overnight celebrity as her trial is heavily publicised. The musical has since been made into an Academy Award winning film starring Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere. Full of music, laughter, dancing and a captivating story, Chicago is a show not to miss out on.

This blog here at Serviced City Pads has saved the best for last in its coverage of the Irish acts who are going to be hitting Birmingham’s LG arena in March next year. We have talked about those bright young things The Script, we have covered the well-established (and absolutely massive!) Westlife, and now it only remains to tell you about the Boyzone tour that will be coming to the UK next year – a tour that many thought we would never see…

The tour begins in February 2011, coming to Birmingham for Wednesday 2nd March, and is sure to be an emotional experience for band and audience alike given the recent death of band member Stephen Gately. The band have suggested that this tour, promoting their number 1 album “Brother,” could well be their last.

The gig at Birmingham’s LG arena is going to be a special night – perhaps you should make sure you have somewhere special to stay. If you’re travelling to see the Boyz, why not stay in a serviced apartment? It can be just as cheap as a hotel room, but with a bedroom, a kitchen, and a lounge area. Plus, serviced apartments will be able to accommodate larger groups – so if you and your friends would be able to relax and enjoy each other’s company before and after the gig. Serviced City Pads have apartment operators in Birmingham with a number of serviced apartments which could accommodate you. Why not contact Serviced City Pads to see what we can do for you?

You could have your very own serviced apartment in which you can prepare for the evening, and then return to after the show. A serviced apartment can be like a home away from home. Take a look at our site to find the right apartment for you.

Last week’s blog here at Serviced City Pads discussed the imminent tour of those bright young things, The Script, as they climb the slippery slopes to the top of the mountain that is pop superstardom. Well, hold on to your hats because this week we can tell you about a group who already perch atop that mountain surveying all below with the kind of contented smile that only success can bring. Who is it? It’s only Westlife, one of the biggest pop bands around, and they’re playing two nights in Birmingham to as part of their latest tour of the UK.

The two gigs will take place on Friday 25th March and Thursday 31st March at Birmingham’s LG arena, and are sure to be huge! They’ve had number 1s galore with their crowd-pleasing anthems, which they will soon be performing live for the lucky few. If you’ve been able to grab yourself a ticket to one (or both!) of these shows, how excited you must be!

…and yet… what will you do about accommodation? Well, how about a serviced apartment? They’re the alternative to staying in the usual cramped hotel room. In a serviced apartment, you’ll have a bedroom, a separate living area, kitchen, even a dining room in some. How much more comfortable it could be compared to the typical hotel experience. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that the more room leaves space for more people – you can share an apartment comfortably with a number of friends, all relaxing together before and after the show.

Westlife AND a serviced apartment… you really would be spoiling yourself, but go on, you deserve it! Contact Serviced City Pads and we can arrange a serviced apartment in Birmingham for you to make a great night even greater!
