Theatre critics and theatregoing.

- Abstract
The paper considers the impact of theatre critics on the West End's main theatres in 2003. The model takes account of the newspapers' circulations, the proportion of readers who are theatergoers, the nature of the different reviews and the size of theatres in question. Using a sample of 32 productions with open-ended runs, the net financial influence of the reviews in 2003 is estimated at £18.7 million, equivalent to 6.3% of the Society of London Theatre's box office takings for the year.
