London's theatres buzzing despite the cold (economic) climate

London’s theatres have revealed record level revenues for an eight consecutive year, taking over £500 million in the last 12 months. Despite the economic climate, ticket sales are on the rise.

London’s theatre’s success had been wrongly attributed to new musicals like Matilda the Musical, The Wizard of Oz and Shrek the Musical amongst others, which no doubt drew in the crowds, but these productions also left the stage empty for several months during their installations. In fact, it appears plays like Frankenstein, Much Ado About Nothing and One Man Two Guvnors were the sources of rising attendance and revenues.

It seems theatre goers still value a trip to some of the world’s best shows. Why not join the crowds and book a special night out in theatreland coupled with some cheap accommodation in London.
