With 2022 hurtling to an end, here’s our annual run-down of the best-selling musicals on WestendTheatre.com in 2022.
Ranked by number of tickets sold, the list kicks off with Wicked at the Apollo Victoria which takes the top-selling spot for this year, closely followed by other musical big-hitters & Juliet at the Shaftesbury Theatre, Disney’s The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre and Frozen at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre.
Three of those Top 5 have amassed 38 years of performances in London between them, which is quite something.
