Black Friday 2016 lived up to its name after a power surge plunged the West End into darkness. Sadly several shows including ALADDIN, LES MISERABLES, JERSEY BOYS and THRILLER LIVE had to be cancelled and many more were delayed. We’re rounded up some of our #StageFaves tweets, photos and reactions from the night...
Oooo creepy black out throughout all of soho!

When I said 'Turn it off', I didn't mean the whole of the west end! #Blackout @bookofmormonldn (We've still got power though) ðð»
