Customer Reviews
Loved it!
As a former employee of the theatre world, I really enjoyed this fresh take on some of our most loved west end theatres. It is a really vivid look behind the scenes, and a fascinating take on their history. But what really stands out is that both authors take a really down to earth approach to something that, of late, has been sensationalised in the media.
I would highly recommend it.
The best guide
If your looking for a well written and very easy to read book, then look no further. It covers the topic well,(the title is self explanatory) remains interesting throughout and is a good read. If your interested in the theatre or in the supernatural then this book is for you. If your interested in the theatre AND the supernatural then you cant possibly be without this book!
Most enjoyable...fascinating stuff
Being a Londoner I love the theatre and go as much as possible. I had no idea all this stuff went on behind "behind the scenes". I really enjoyed this book and the richness of the stories and recommend this to any theatre goer or visitor to the Westend. I will definitely think again when Im at the theatre! What a good gift this will make.
