Its good to hear that theater is not drowning all over the world. I did not know before this that in general, West End tickets were cheaper than Broadway, this might have something to do with why they have higher attendance than Broadway, or that they encompass more theaters and more areas of art.
I am glad to hear that London theatre is flourishing even though Broadway is currently not doing so great. London has always been a city that embraces theatre and the arts and it seems like they are making it possible for more people to see their shows with low ticket prices. With this in their favor it is a bit easier to see why they would take in more money than Broadway. The cities promotion of the arts is seen in many other ways including the fact that many now Broadway productions had their start in London's West End.
