Could the Capital’s Theatres Beat Off The Economic Crisis
With the UK recession really upon the firms of London, may the city’s beloved plays keep the show sales coming in? Over in New York’s theatre district, the musicals and plays are being hit with lower show revenue as many people are deciding to entertain themselves at home instead of go out. Numerous people, usually couples and families are staying at home watching the latest DVDs than heading out to watch a musical. The New York plays have responded swiftly by reducing show prices to get theatre goers back, so far with great results. Infact, Shrek the Musical is selling a family musical ticket bundle of two adults paying whole price with up to two children attending for free. With the popularity of the Shrek blockbuster films, the popularity has additionally transferred to the Broadway adaptation.
Over in London’s West End, the show revenue have also noticed a slump. The British economic downturn has caused a myriad of shows to track their profit line even even more so. And with some theatre shows having pricey stars, like Daryl Hannah and Orlando Bloom, the theatre firms need to recover this expense. Thankfully for the capital city and of course the musical shows there are half price ticket booths that allow theatre lovers to acquire tickets for top musicals and plays at a fraction of the show value. These popular musical ticket retailers have observed an increase in sales since the British economic downturn and this allows the theatre show lovers of London and its terrific visitors to be able to actually afford to witness their favourite musicals and plays without spending too much money.
As the economic crisis continues, we will probably find that various theatre productions might well look to offer similar ticket deals to that of Broadway with family show bundles. Then again, there are particular plays that will stand the test of time – shows like the Lion King and Billy Elliot have been around for numerous years and show no indicators of reduced tickets sales.
