You know - that was my first time seeing the West End. Looks VERY nice! Wish I could go...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'm heading back over at the end of April. Can't wait. Don't know if this will work but here's one I took at night of The Palace Theatre last month:

No pictures of the Phoenix with BLOOD BROTHERS...

Wow, I never realized the theatres in London's West End were so stunningly beautiful.
This makes me only more excited about visiting the city for the first time this summer! Can't wait!

I never understood why Les Miz got moved to the crappy looking theater. The outside of it is not that great looking. It used to be where "The Woman in White" is now. Humph.

EponineThenardier - unfortunatly, the Queens Theatre was badly bombed during the war, and lost it's frontage which was rebuilt in the architecturally challenged 1950's.
However, the good news is that when Cameron Mackintosh gets around to his planned renovation of that block (including the construction of a new theatre called The Sondheim), it is rumoured that the frontage will be restored to it's former glory! There are no dates for this work to take place yet, though . . .
