Abstract
Recent hit shows from the Sound of Music to Joseph have driven the reversal in fortune of west End theatres, which had suffered a trend in declining ticket revenue and profits in the last decade. In January 2008, the Society of london Theatre announced a record breaking year in 2007 with more than 13.6 million theatregoers generating total tickets sales of almost £470 million, passing the £400 million mark for the first time. The Society's Chief executive Richard Pulford cited the revenue statistics as an "annus mirabilis" for london theatre, stating that "these figures are a wonderful start to our centenary year but we're under no illusions that we're going to have to work very hard to maintain this success" (Maev Kennedy., 2008).
