A round-up of London theatre shows that have been awarded Four Stars by theatre critics.
West End theatre star ratings are definitely not the only way you should measure the success of a show, but with so many musicals and plays running in London, sometimes it helps to get guidance from professional theatre critics.
This is our attempt to make sense of the ratings, and provide a guide to all 4 star shows in London that are currently available for booking.
Note: The star rating given to this show is an average across multiple theatre critic star ratings. See “Read reviews” for the star ratings from individual critics and publications.
