Commercial Feature – London is an international city that over eight million people call home and over 26 million visit each year. Aside from being a destination filled with a rich history that is lined with countless tourist attractions, one of its biggest draws is the theatre scene, which hosts a wide variety of West End shows that have sold millions of tickets over the years.

London’s West End is regarded as the epicentre of theatre in the UK, and with so many playhouses hosting countless productions it does not appear that this fact could ever really change!

Many famous film actors and actresses have also taken the time to entertain live audiences by taking part as a special guest performer in London shows and musicals. Some of the many notable names that are adding that extra bit of spark to the West End scene include Whoopi Goldberg, who is making a special appearance at the London Palladium’s production of Sister Act, and Jeff Goldblum in the Vaudeville Theatre’s production of Prisoner of Second Avenue.

While seeing a famous celebrity performing in a live action production can be very exciting, there are a number of other critically-acclaimed productions going on that cannot be missed! If you’re looking for something hysterically funny and horribly politically incorrect, look no further than Avenue Q, which is playing at the Wyndham Theatre.

Another popular show that has been running for eight years now is the Queen-based musical known as We Will Rock You, which is playing at the Dominium Theatre in London’s Soho. If you’re seeking a film that’s been adapted for a live performance, why not give the Aldwych Theatre’s production of Dirty Dancing a go?

There are many ticket outlets in the city that know they can take advantage of tourists and locals alike by charging over-inflated prices, but this can easily be avoided. Theatre-goers can enjoy paying discount prices and even have the option to book theatre and hotel packages online.

It is very easy to plan an affordable and enjoyable trip to London and experience both the renowned theatrical performances that go on daily and the luxuries of staying in one of the city’s many fine hotels.

Don’t miss out on all the action and begin planning your West End theatre break today.
