London Theatre has a lot to offer with regards to traditional theatre, with shows such as Cabaret, Evita, Les Miserables or Porgy and Bess.

The remake of Cabaret has earned ecellent reviews, and has been described as “a stunning masterpiece”, “breathtaking new production” and “one of the defining musicals of the post-war era”. With reviews like this it is no surprise it is a long running show within the west end!
Evita is the tale of Eva Peron, who was the most famous wife of Juna Peron. Her childhood was unremarkable: she was the youngest of five illegitimate children. She became the most powerful Latin American woman and, mainly due to her background and her work for the poor, she was adored by her people. This is an emotional yet exciting production which has been running in the West End and around the world for many years. Excellent reviews followed the first showing of this vibrant and colourful production by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

The classical Les Miserables has been showing for many years is the West End. Written by Victor Hugo back in 1866, it was made into a musical by the composer Claude- Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublin, and opened in Paris 1980. This musical has kept up with the incredible name the book created. It is London's longest running musical, with over 8500 performances ranging through 21 years on a London stage. With over 54 million people having seen it and its having played in 249 cities across the world, it is no wonder this performance has received reviews such as “rippingly gripping and full of wonder”, and “one of the best musicals of all time”.
