Hey everyone. I've recently become traveling frequently between the US and the UK. What are some West End boards are there? I've tried to google and find some but most seem rarely visited. Thanks for your assistance!

Theatreboard

This is great and VERY active message board.

Thanks for information. Just curious, anybody have any idea why BWW got rid of the "West End" board. IMO makes more sense to keep board about theater than the "OT" board which is on life support.

The West End board was never popular here; the Whatsonstage forums (which then became Theatreboard) were always more active, and although these are basically 15 year old memories at this point there was at least one relatively toxic poster here on BWW who dominated West End discussion to an irritating degree.  Theatreboard is really very active and the quality of posting is generally very high.

I love theatreboard for West End and for Broadway, I’ll admit I’ve been going to reddit more than BWW in recent months.

Agree 100%.  People there generally try to generous in their interpretation of others' posts.  You'll rarely find any of the toxicity that is fairly commonplace here and when anything close to that does appear, the mods shut it down fairly quickly.

Maybe Reddit's r/Theatre or r/LondonTheatre helps?
