Okey dokey! My question is very much the same as Adara's, but the West End version: According to a well-known theatre critic who reviewed this musical for the BBC, which musical expected audiences to cough up the highest prices ever for a West End show? I'm sure it's Google-able if you really want, but just make it sound like you knew it anyway  |

My bad, I haven't explained myself properly - I meant the first time the West End took a real hike in prices. The price (on a weekend) was £65! |

Nope - well, not according to the reviewer (I'll post a link to the review once the right answer is revealed!). This musical opened (very soon) after The Producers. |
