About this listen
More than 17 million people arrive in the capital each year to celebrate one of London's most beloved cultural gemstones - theatre.
But seeing a central London play can set you back hundreds of pounds, and the costs are only going up. Audiences are now being priced out with the average price of a top ticket rising by 50% between 2023 and 2024 to 146 pounds and 61 pence a seat.
So who or what is to blame for the situation? Is this just a callous cash grab, and what does it all mean for the future of London’s West End?
We're joined by The Standard’s Commissioning Editor and Culture Writer Vicky Jessop, who has been investigating the issue for the latest special report.
