If, like me you like the taste of drama rather than the musical, a good place to start would be to try and catch Jane Eyre at Trafalgar Studios by Shared Experience Theatre Company. 
A great production, very engaging and for only £10, even on Saturdays during August, well worth the trip.
Another one to catch and again for only £10 is Market Boy at the National until 24th August - directed by the great Rufus Norris (who will be directing Cabaret later this year) and performed by a great ensemble. 
A real slice of the 80's! You might also be interested in visiting the video diary of Market Boy and various other National Theatre productions on the National Theatre Vlog.
Also just announced and just on sale is Amadeus by Peter Shaffer at the Wilton's Music Hall starring Matthew Kelly (?), but is directed by John Doyle, who had great success with Sweeney Todd recently.
Lastly - if you fancy getting spooked on a budget, then go and see The Woman In Black - very traditional theatre, but also very imaginative in it's strorytelling and one I will want to see again.
