This is an interesting question. Historically, London has played an important role in the development of theatre, and has a high concentration of theatres. However, many other places, particularly traditional tourist resorts like Blackpool and Torquay, have theatres, too. New theatres, like Milton Keynes Theatre, are built in ares where there is enough space for a new building, but in London there just isn't room for new developments of the size needed for a new theatre. It is logical that, with London covering such a small area of the UK, most theatres will be outside London. London has over 40 theatres, and it's West End is still considered to be the home of theatre in the UK. The same holds true globally, as well. People all over the world enjoy the arts, so have built theatres. In the same way that we can say there are more theatres outside London than in London, we can also say that there are more theatres outside New York than in New York, or anywhere of your choice.
