A round-up of reviews for current and future West End shows, now booking in London.
Newspaper theatre critics are still an important way for theatregoers to decide what West End shows to see in London. Most critics give a rating for a London show from one to five stars, helping you narrow down the choice of shows you want to see.
When choosing which West End show to see, it is always worth using a critic’s London theatre review as a guide to a show, alongside other sources including the opinion of friends, and the views of other theatregoers on social media. But critics of respected publications including The Guardian, The Times, Time Out and Variety are a useful way to understanding whether a theatre production is for you.
Here we round-up some of the opinions of national newspaper and magazine theatre critics, giving you a snapshot of what London theatre to see in the West End.
