In New York, there is a list of theatres that are considered "Broadway houses" - 40 of them to be specific (until the Hudson reopens). Is there an equivalent in the West End?
How many theatres (specifically or roughly) qualify for the Olivier awards (or are simply considered "West End" houses?) ...and are the National Theatre venues included?
I think there are 39 West End theatres, but more venues are eligible for the Oliviers. All the theatres that are members of Society of London Theatre are eligible, including non West End theatre such as Old and Young Vic, National Theatre, Donmar Warehouse, Barbican, Royal Court, Royal Opera House, ENO and others.
