Exploring the London Stage

Next to New York, there’s no place on Earth with as diverse and interesting theater as London! In fact, there’s so much going on at any moment, it can be difficult to keep up with it all. We thought we’d start these weekly posts on “theater” with a useful site for keeping track of what’s going on on the London stage at any given time: “WhatsOnStage.com“.

This website includes news about actors who are coming or going from shows, as well as a listing (at the bottom) of all the current shows, both in the West End and elsewhere. Since we’ll be seeing so many shows this summer, it’s a good idea now to start looking at what you might want to see.

Another great site for seeing what’s going on is the London Theatre Guide.   From this site, you can explore not only the most recent news (who’s in what show, who’s replacing whom, what’s opening/closing), but you can also check specific dates to see what shows are playing by date, rather than just by show.  A very useful way to make planes for May and June!
