A West End show can be a spectacular and enjoyable experience. The vast number of shows means there's likely to be something for everybody and people can compare London theatre tickets online to get good deals. What follows is a small selection of great shows that are worth viewing. If you want to watch the longest running musical ever, make sure you watch Les Misérables. The musical is based on Victor Hugo's novel of the same title. There have been over 43000 professional performances of the production and it has been translated into more than 20 languages. The setting is Paris during the French Restoration, with one of the main characters, Jean Valjean, having just been released from prison for stealing bread and one of the story threads continues with him intent on leaving behind his past as a criminal. Grease The Musical first opened in London in 1993, and since then has been seen by more than 10 million people and has earned over £165 million. You're sure to be in a great mood after watching the story of love, friendship and growing up focusing on Danny, Sandy, the Pink Ladies and the T Birds. The first six months' worth of theatre tickets for Dirty Dancing The Classic Story On Stage were sold out before the production began its run in London. It had the highest advance ticket sales in history for both the UK and Germany. For a foot-tapping experience full of romance and amazing dancing, this production doesn't disappoint. In August 2005 We Will Rock You became the longest running musical to play at the Dominion Theatre. There have been more than 11 million theatre tickets sold worldwide for the production and over 4.5 million people have watched the production in London. The show is set in the future when musical instruments have been banned and the only music available is electronic tunes. The story focuses on a group of rebels intent on bringing the use of musical instruments back and saving the world from having to listen to electronic tunes, with Queen's music incorporated throughout the production. This energetic West End show really will rock you! The Mousetrap is the longest running show in the world. It first broke records when it became the longest running production of any kind in the history of British theatre on 12 April 1958. The story focuses on people trapped in a country house due to a snowstorm, and is adapted from Agatha's Christie's mystery novel. Things start to go wrong when a murder takes place in the house. Test how good your own detective skills are and enjoy the drama whilst trying to figure out who the culprit is in this famous West End show. These West End shows are not to be missed, and with millions having already seen them they are proving they're well worth the viewing.
