West End/ SOLT venues
We’ve expanded our definition of West End to include those big venues that whilst not physically in the West End, budget wise are very similar. Think of places like Southbank Centre or Royal Albert Hall. Generally these are the venues that are members of the Society of London Theatre and eligible for all the big award ceremonies. Whilst we don’t attend lots of these shows, now and again it’s fun to savour the glitz and glamour they can offer.

Review: High Society, The Barbican
No hat-trick for The Barbican. High-quality fun as it is, their third Cole Porter revival in recent years doesn’t quite hit the right notes.
