London is in the midst of a massive theater-renovation project, with managers buffing up many of the century-plus vintage theaters. The whole West End is booming, with new buildings going up left and right. Jim DeYoung's book helps you find the best of the old, while introducing you to what is indispensable in the new: the rehabilitation of the long-shuttered Lyceum, the resurrected Globe Theater near the actual site of Shakespeare's original, the booming Seven Dials and Covent Garden neighborhoods, including the Donmar Warehouse. The book will help theater fans find everything from the the place where Nell Gwynne used to meet King Charles, to the palaces of Shaftesbury Avenue--to the location of Andrew Lloyd Webber's bank, where the money of so many playgoers is kept.
