theatreland
Where stages cluster
Theatreland is a district where theaters are concentrated, especially London's West End.
The term evokes the glamour and bustle of live performance venues clustered together: We had dinner in theatreland before the show.
Broadway serves a similar function in American English, though *theatreland* occasionally appears for any city's theater district.
