Default West End Theatre show, any recommendations?

As above.
Girlfriend's bday coming up in couple of weeks time, and was thinking to take her to see a West End show as she likes the theatre.

Not being a theatre buff myself, I'm not really sure what shows are good, so anyone recommend a good un?

She's seen quite a few already so these will be out of the question:
Hairspray, Chicago, Avenue Q, Mousetrap, Les Miserables, Woman in Black.

She really wanted to see Lion King, but unfortunately the show is closed on her bday

Was thinking Grease, but some people have said it's s***?

Also, was thinking Wicked but I've never seen Wizard of Oz, is that necessary?

Wicked is brilliant really good. Its loosely based on the Wizard of Oz its the story of the WIcked Witch. If your girlfriend wanted to see Lion King then she will really enjoy Wicked.

Also heard good things about Flashdance this week - lots of girls in not much so entertainment for you too!

We Will Rock You is superb, not so much a story of Queen, but more a celebration of the music with some great, topical, humour thrown in.

Shame about the Lion King as that is an outstanding show with some awesome costumes.

I'm toying with either Dirty Dancing or Jersey Boys next, but that's because I like the music.

The Producers is meant to be hilarious. My dad absolutely loved it, as did my mum, sister and the rest of the rabble that went along.

The little woman bought tickets for Oliver! for my birthday, we went on Tuesday night. Excellent show, great music, a set you would not believe and to top it off Rowan Atkinson as Fagin.

Just make sure you've got seats a bit closer to the stage to take in the full effect.

10/10
