ABOUT US

After much deliberation and collaboration, we proudly present BWW:UK's Top 100 UK Theatre Tweeters you MUST follow.

With a nod to our over-the-pond colleague @BroadwayGirlNYC, please bear in mind:
- It's not a list of the most famous West End folks on Twitter.
- It's not a list of the most frequent tweeters in the West End - or the accounts with the most followers.
- It's certainly not a complete list of those worth following.

It is simply our top 100 - actors, directors, theatres, venues, shows and organisations

Don't agree with our choices? Or think of someone I've glaringly omitted? Let us know in the comments - or by tweeting us at @BroadwayWorldUK - we'll retweet your thoughts and follow the best accounts!
