More visitors than ever went to West End Live last week<\/p>\n

The free theatre festival West End Live attracted a record number of visitors this year, new figures have revealed.<\/p>\n

Some 250,000 people flocked to Leicester Square in order to get a taste of some of theatreland’s hottest shows, including Legally Blonde, Wicked, Love Never Dies and Avenue Q.<\/p>\n

It is thought that this could tempt people to purchase an extra \u00a32 million worth of theatre tickets in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Westminster councillor Robert Davis said: “Without doubt, this has been our biggest and best West End Live. We’ve seen spectacular performances from some of the nation’s favourite shows.”<\/p>\n

According to WhatsonStage.com, the festival was so popular that people were queuing at 04:00 BST on Saturday (June 19th 2010) to make sure they managed to catch their top musicals and plays.<\/p>\n

Last month, Legally Blonde star Sheridan Smith told the London Evening Standard she thinks West End Live provides a nice taster for people who are unsure which shows they want to see.<\/p>\n
