Venue info

Das Adelphi Theatre ist ein Londoner Theaterhaus, das auf British Theatre vorgestellt wird. Entdecken Sie kommende Produktionen, praktische Hinweise zum Haus und Tipps zur Ticketbuchung – damit Ihr Besuch bestens vorbereitet ist. Das Theater (ursprünglich das Sans Pareil; „Ohne Vergleich“) wurde 1806 von dem Kaufmann John Scott und seiner Tochter Jane, einer Darstellerin und Dramatikerin, gegründet. Bis 1809 hatten sie zusammen eine Theatergruppe gegründet und mehr als 50 Werke aufgeführt, die Jane geschrieben hatte. Nach Janes Rücktritt im Jahr 1819 wurde es als The Adelphi wiedereröffnet und wurde bekannt als Veranstaltungsort für Bühnenadaptionen der Werke von Charles Dickens, darunter The Old Curiosity Shop und Nicholas Nickleby. Das Theater wurde abgerissen und 1858 als The New Adelphi wiedereröffnet, mit Verbesserungen im Zuschauerraum. Die Produktionen dort verhalfen John Lawrence Toole und Arthur Sullivan zu Ruhm. 1897 wurde der Schauspieler William Terriss ermordet, als er das Theater betrat, und es heißt, sein Geist spukt dort bis heute. Das Theater durchlief zwei weitere Namen (The Century 1901 und kehrte 1904 zum Adelphi zurück), bevor die heutige Stätte an der Strand-Straße 1930 nach einer vollständigen Art-déco-Neugestaltung und einer weiteren Namensänderung (The Royal Adelphi, die bis 1940 Bestand hatte) eröffnet wurde. Dank der Bemühungen der Save London Theatres Campaign überlebte das Adelphi 1968 ein vorgeschlagenes Umbauprojekt des GLC für Covent Garden und setzte seine Tradition fort mit angesehenen Shows wie der originalen Londoner Produktion von Sondheims A Little Night Music. 1993 wurde das Theater von Andrew Lloyd Webbers Really Useful Group gekauft und renoviert, kurz vor der Eröffnung von Sunset Boulevard. Das Adelphi war das ursprüngliche Zuhause von Chicago, das über acht Jahre lief, bevor es weiterzog, und damit die längste Produktion, die in diesem Venue stattfand. Made In Dagenham (9.

History

The theatre (originally the Sans Pareil; “Without Compare”) was founded in 1806 by merchant John Scott and his daughter Jane, a performer and playwright. By 1809 they had started a theatre company together and performed over 50 works written by Jane. After Jane’s retirement in 1819, it was reopened as The Adelphi and became known as a venue for stage adapted works of Charles Dickens, including The Old Curiosity Shop and Nicholas Nickleby. The theatre was demolished and reopened as The New Adelphi in 1858, with improvements to the auditorium, and productions their helped established the reputations of John Lawrence Toole and Arthur Sullivan. In 1897, the actor William Terriss was murdered while entering the theatre and it is said his ghost haunts it to this day. The theatre went through two more monikers (The Century in 1901, and reverting back to The Adelphi in 1904) before the present site on The Strand opened in 1930 following a full art-deco redesign and another name change (The Royal Adelphi, which would last until 1940). Thanks to the efforts of the Save London Theatres Campaign, the Adelphi managed to survive a proposed redevelopment of Covent Garden by the GLC in 1968, and continued to host acclaimed shows, such as the original London production of Sondheim’s A Little Night Music. The theatre was purchased and refurbished by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group in 1993, just before the opening of Sunset Boulevard. The Adelphi was the original home of Chicago which ran for over 8 years before transferring, making it the venue’s longest production.

Went to see Back to the Future on a weeknight. I was seated in the last balcony, on the left side. View was really great for the price although you see a small amount of the lighting spots. But it doesn’t bother you much. Toilets are also just next to you so it's a convenient place. Seat was comfortable with enough space in front of me. The only downside was that they close the toilets at the end of the show and you take a backstage stair so you get out in the narrow alley which can be crowded.

Saw the BTTF musical on Thursday 5th March, the theatre itself was very tidy, staff were kind and helpful and enthusiastic. No issues getting in and their is multiple bars inside the theatre itself on each level. So no chance youll get thirsty lol. One thing to note, no noticeable air conditioning. If there is, I didnt notice it. Was extremely warm in upper circle once sat down. The musical itself was amazing 👏 highly recommend seeing it if your a fan of the BTTF movie.

Takes cash payments in some of the bars and the shop. Back to the Future is the best show ive seen for ages. The dialogue is well written, the songs have clever and funny content. The music is varied and the band is amazing. Great choreography & costumes. The musical numbers really add to the story. Amazing multimedia stage production. See it while it's still on! Comfortable theatre with reasonable bar prices and some beautiful art deco inspired decor
