A whole host of theatrical delights are set to illuminate London’s stages once again, with shows returning to the capital later this spring. What a year it’s been.
Since the West End first went dark last March, we’ve seen theatre creatives valiantly trying to make the best of a very difficult situation.
Outdoor spaces have been utilised more, with a successful concert version of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre last summer and smaller-scale productions at venues including Vauxhall’s Garden Theatre.
With indoor theatres, however, it’s been very stop-start, with a handful of shows opening either in the autumn or during the run up to Christmas, and then having their runs cut short due to lockdowns.
