Westend Entertainment – London’s Theatre

London’s West End is greatly thought of for professional stage shows. Together with New York’s Broadway, Westend entertainment is often thought to deliver many of the very best productions in the world. Viewing  Shows in West End is incredibly popular entertainment particularly with tourists. Countless theatre shows and specifically hit musicals are performed in the great venues of London’s West End. A huge number of people attend a West End theatre show every year. Westend Theatre Breaks are also really popular in the United kingdom. Theatre Breaks are frequently booked as a weekend luxury to celebrate a special occasion. A Westend show is the main entertainment but booked along with accommodation and often reservations in a top restaurant. Be sure to book your West End Show Tickets as soon as possible as popular shows sell out very fast.

The main theatre district of London consists of approximately forty theatres and was rebranded by Westminster Council and the Society of London Theatre as ‘Theatreland’. It is located in the middle of the Westend of Central London and is historically defined by The Strand to the South, Oxford Street to the North, Regent Street to the West and Kingsway to the East. Prominent theatre streets include Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue plus The Strand. Most of the shows are musicals, classic plays and comedy performances.

London’s Westend theatre region became established with the opening of many small theatres about 1806. The development of the Westend entertainment district gained pace with the Theatres Act 1843 which relaxed the conditions for the performance of plays. In the following decades, lots of new venues were opened. That trend continued until the 1st world war. For the duration of the 1950s and 1960s, lots of plays were created in theatre clubs in order to escape the censorship then exercised by the Lord Chamberlain’s Office. However, the Theatres Act 1968 ultimately abolished censorship of the stage.

Many Westend theatres are of late Victorian or Edwardian construction and most are privately owned. The majority of them have great character and the largest and best maintained include grand neo-classical, Romanesque or Victorian façades and magnificent detailed interior design and decoration. Then again, leg room is usually cramped and audience amenities like bars and public conveniences are often much smaller than in modern theatres. The protected status of the structures and their confined urban locations, together with economic constraints, make it very hard to make considerable improvements to the furnishings, fixtures and fittings.

Many of the long running musicals performed in the West End have profitably played to audiences for many years. A few of the most popular theatre shows include We Will Rock You which is set in a futuristic world where rock music is banned, Les Miserables which is a global award winning musical about an epic tale of passion and destruction, Chicago is about a girl who has murdered her lover but is acquitted, The Lion King which is an adaptation of the Disney film, The Phantom of the Opera which tells the tale of the phantom that terrorises the Paris Opera, Billy Elliot which is the touching account of a schoolboy who loves ballet, Dirty Dancing which is the stage version of the classic movie, Sister Act is a new adaptation of a hit movie, Mamma Mia is about a mother and daughter and three potential dads, and Stomp which is a fast paced mixture of music, tap dance and percussion. The list is endless as there really are so many Westend theatre productions to choose from. There really is something that could appeal to everyone. A West end Theatre show is a truly fantastic night out to remember.
