Record year for West End















Les Miserables, one of the most popular West End shows

WEST End Theatres have not suffered from the economic downturn and figures reveal another successful year in 2008.

Box office sales have increased by 3%, totalling more than £480, state The Society of London Theatre (SOLT)

SOLT said attendances weakened in the second half of the year due to the economic crisis, but Christmas time boosted the figures.

Nica Burns, president of SOLT said:

"Last year was a record breaking year, we didn't expect to surpass it or match it.”

I'm getting better at shortening the headlines, it is quite tough! Not as easy as it initially seems.

I'm having problems adjusting the text to fit on the page the way I would like though, tres annoying!
