West End
My sister would like to know the differences between Broadway & the West End?
She was asking me whether all the main musicals start out at Broadway and then come to the West End, or whether its the other way round...What are each of the places' most famous musicals? Any info on the history and status of these two places would be FAB!
The West End is in London - nothing to do with CA!! There's no specific path for musicals; some open on the West End and then come to Broadway (eg Mary Poppins, Billy Elliot) , and some go the other way (eg Hairspray, Wicked). Phantom of the Opera is probably the most famous musical for both - it's the longest running Broadway show and the second-longest running West End musical after Les Miserables - the longest running play is Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, which has been running for 55 years! Cats ran for a long time both on Broadway and the West End; Starlight Express ran a long, long time on the West End (but not so long on Broadway) and Blood Brothers has been running on the West End for a long time as well.
