[glasgow guy]

I am looking for some ideas and info on the following please folks..

I am thinking about a gift for someone who has helped me/mrs gg out a fair bit over the years, wont say who or why but they just have.
anyway, I have came up of the idea of packing them off to manchester for a saturday night/sunday morning thing which would include a classy meal and a show somewhere..dont know when though..
but I dont know where to begin..
I have thought about the malmaison as the hotel as they could have dinner and brekkie there but aint sure...if anyone has other ideas let me know on that..
and as for a show..well I dont know where to start on that one!
no idea who's on theatre wise/show wise in manchester so again if someone can supply some info then all the better..
cost isnt much of an issue just now , just fire some ideas at me.

thanks in advance
