The Government’s decision to move London and most of the rest of the country first into Tier 3, and as of December 31, Tier 4, is devastating for the capital’s theatres. Around 30 venues had reopened, with producers taking a major financial risk – only to be forced to close again, with ticket-holders losing out on their Christmas cheer. There is no official word on when venues can reopen.
If you had booked, or were thinking of booking, for a show, here is the latest status on London’s productions, plus some of the online entertainment that is going ahead. In some form, at least, the show will go on.
