'Nothing beats the West End' for entertainment
When it comes to a good night out, you can't beat the West End, according to one newspaper.
Friday, 16 July 2010
Anyone bored with spending their evenings in front of the television has been urged to head to the West End and take in a play or musical.
The Express and Star said "nothing beats the glamour" of a trip to London theatreland, whether it is to see a glitzy musical or a serious thriller.
It commented: "The atmosphere of the area has to be sampled to be believed. Put simply, there is nowhere else on earth quite like it."
The publication pointed out that there is a wide variety of West End shows to choose from, so it may be wise to take some time to select one.
Les Miserables, Grease and Chicago were put forward for fans of song and dance, while the Express and Star suggested The 39 Steps for people who may prefer to roll in the aisles with laughter.
The longest-running play in the West End is currently The Mousetrap, while Les Miserables holds the crown for the longest-running musical.
