World Famous Theatre Productions Around the World
Musical shows have been the main source of entertainment in the worlds biggest cities for decades. Infact, some musical shows have been going for over 20 years and still popular. With the popular interest of this type of public entertainment, we will mention the biggest earning and longest running musical shows in the globe.
The big time theatre show that has to be brought up is Phantom, one of the most breathtaking theatre musicals to ever be put on stage. This fantastic show is the longest running musical production in history and the biggest earning of all time. The theatre show was written for the theatre stage by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and details the story of a disfigured chap who falls in love with a chorus singer from the local opera house. The marvellous songs of the musical show are now so well known and the mask worn by the Phantom is so unmistakable that it’s evident in numerous fancy dress parties around the world.
Next is the incredible musical known as Cats. Again another beloved theatre show and one that ran near to 20 years until its last curtain call in late 2000. The theatre show won both the Laurence Olivier Award and the Tony award for best musical show and was performed in both London’s West End and Broadway New York. The theatre production was so successful that it was translated into 18 particular languages and eventually shown around the globe. Cats the theatre show was a real phenomenon. Find yourself some Mamma Mia Tickets and sing to your favourite hits.
Now it’s time for the most famed play with a French show title of all time, Les Miserable aka Les Mis or scripted into English as The Miserables or The Terribles. The musical has been showing in London’s West End for in excess of 19 years now and is the 2nd longest ever running musical production in London’s history. One of the most well known songs from the musical is I Dreamed a Dream, which was also sung by television talent show runner up Susan Boyle. The show Cats was up for twelve Tony awards and won eight of them, including greatest theatre show.
