A couple of choices for the Anglophile theater fan:
Tim Pigott-Smith's memoir, Do You Know Who I Am? I'm currently partway through the book and enjoying it very much (enjoyment marred only by sadness at his too-early death this year).
Brutus and Other Heroines: Playing Shakespeare's Roles for Women, by Harriet Walter. A Christmas present which I haven't read yet. If it's as good as Walter's book, Other People's Shoes (not a 2017 book, although I read it in 2017), it should be a good read.

"Everything you always wanted to know about going to the theatre but were too sloshed to ask, dear" by West End Producer

Warning: it's very funny. It's also very West End-ish. I'd have missed a bunch if we hadn't lived in London for several months, and if I hadn't continued perusing Theatreboard.
By the way, BroadwayWorld does get a shout out on page 16.
I got this as a gift and it is stunning, beautiful pictures and really interesting information about shows that I both loved and never heard of before.
