In Britain audiences don't seem to see musical theatre as an art form like in USA so in general the good ones tend to be performed in small off west end venues. There are wonderful musicals and composers. Both versions of the Wild Party, Spring Awakening was amazing but didn't run in west end. Yes Scottsboro boys, anything by Kander and Ebb is amazing. Jason Robert Brown,Sondheim,Musicals that have good subject matter and it's a gendre that can use music to make you think. This is what a good musical can do.The west end in general just puts on block busters that the public like such as Mamma Mia and such, oh though Mathilda is amazing and worth seeing.
The Chocolate Factory puts on really good stuff check them out. Its a tiny venue with a lovely cafe😁😁😁.
