The producer of hit West End shows including Hamilton, Mary Poppins and Les Misérables has reported a dip in profits as cost increases more than offset an increase in revenues.

Cameron Mackintosh’s eponymous company, which runs eight venues in the West End of London including the Noël Coward and Prince of Wales theatres, reported profits of £43.2m for the year to the end of March 2024, down on the £45.4m it made in the previous 12 months.
