14 Nov - Critics Choice: Top 10 West End Plays

Published on

What Play should you see first in London's West End?

We have compiled this list to save you the trouble of working it out! It's just our view - and everyone has one - based on our Reviewers' thoughts. We will update the list regularly so new productions get on your radar and when original casts change that is factored in.

Plays which have been running for more than three years are not included - this is a list for new or relatively new productions running in the West End.

So go see them!

We’d like to know your thoughts. To vote for your favourite West End play and musical CLICK HERE 1. Our Town - We know that technically the Almeida isn't in the West End, but this is just too good to miss!
