One of the main reasons tourists flock to London attractions in their millions is the bright lights of the West End theatre scene, which boasts a myriad of enthralling shows.

Les Miserables is one of the most critically acclaimed musicals ever staged, with audiences gripped by its indulgent tragic story of love and loss set against a rousing score featuring well-known hits including On My Own and I Dreamed a Dream.

People seeking a more contemporary production should not miss out on Blood Brothers - the moving tale of twin brothers separated at birth. The gripping show highlights the injustices of the class system in a way that brings a tear to the eye of many audience members.

For a more upbeat experience, why not opt for Chicago? The story immerses the audience in the jazz and liquor of the roaring 20s with the thrilling story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly - two glamorous murderesses trying to avoid the noose with the help of morally bankrupt lawyer Billy Flynn.
