Not to be left out of doing annual round-ups, here is our run-down of the best-selling plays on WestendTheatre.com in 2022.
Ranked by number of tickets sold, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child takes the top spot, over six years since it opened in 2016.
It’s also satisfying that The Mousetrap is still in our Top Ten for 2022, and Agatha Christie’s other thriller Witness for the Prosecution. We will also miss seeing The Woman in Black in the list, given it leaves the West End in March 2023 after 33 spine-chilling years.
