Teatro Apollo Victoria

Venue info

El Apollo Victoria Theatre es un recinto teatral de Londres que aparece en British Theatre. Descubre los próximos espectáculos, consejos prácticos para tu visita y recomendaciones para reservar entradas antes de ir. Construido en 1929 con un estilo Art Déco y un interior de temática náutica, el Apollo Victoria abrió sus puertas el 15 de octubre de 1930. Sin embargo, en sus inicios se llamaba New Victoria Cinema, y ofrecía una mezcla de películas y espectáculos de variedades, incorporando actuaciones de big band un par de años después. En 1939, el cine fue elegido para proyectar The Epsom Derby antes de cerrar en 1940 a causa de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por suerte, el edificio sufrió daños mínimos y reabrió rápidamente al año siguiente. Tras esquivar los planes de demolición en la década de 1950 y, durante varios años, presentar ballet, cine y entretenimiento en directo, el recinto proyectó sus últimas películas en noviembre de 1975: un doble programa de terror con Legend of the Werewolf y Vampire Circus. En 1981 se inauguró el edificio como Apollo Victoria. A principios de los años 80 se presentaron producciones de The Sound of Music, Camelot y Fiddler on the Roof, antes de que el interior se transformara a fondo para Starlight Express. Entre las modificaciones se incluyó una pista que atravesaba el patio de butacas. Starlight Express se mantuvo 18 años en cartel, antes de que el interior se restaurara y mejorara, creando el primer auditorio iluminado por completo con luces LED de bajo consumo. Tras acoger producciones como Bombay Dreams, Saturday Night Fever y Movin’ Out, el teatro recibió en septiembre de 2006 el exitoso musical de Broadway Wicked. Las ocho primeras funciones batieron récords de venta de entradas y, en los siete años desde su estreno, ha recaudado más de 150 millones de libras.

History

Build in 1929 with an Art Deco style and a nautical themed interior, the Apollo Victoria opened on 15th October 1930. However, when it opened, it was called the New Victoria Cinema, showing a mixture of films and variety shows and moving into big band performances a couple of years later. In 1939, the cinema was chosen to present The Epsom Derby before closing in 1940 due to World War 2. Luckily, the building sustained minimal damage and it quickly reopened a year later.

After avoiding plans for demolition in the 1950s, and several years presenting ballet, films, and live entertainment, the theatre presented its final films in November 1975; a horror double bill of Legend of the Werewolf and Vampire Circus. 1981 marked the opening of the building as the Apollo Victoria. Productions on The Sound of Music, Camelot, and Fiddler on the Roof were all presented in the early 1980s, before the interior was heavily altered for Starlight Express. The modifications included a racetrack through the audience. Starlight Express ran for 18 years before the interior was restored and enhanced, creating the first auditorium completely lit with low power LED lights.

After productions of Bombay Dreams, Saturday Night Fever, and Movin’ Out, the theatre played host to Broadway smash hit Wicked in September 2006. The first eight performances broke ticket sale records, and in the seven years since it opened, it has grossed over £150 million.

Watched Wicked and arguably one of the best shows we have watched! Absolutely flawless performance with standing ovation at the end. The theatre is fantastic and well equipped, and is tailored / themed inside to the latest events / shows. Great bars, seating was comfortable and easy to find - and the view was great no matter where you are sitting. Highly recommend watching Wicked, even if you’re not into theatre performances - the actors are great with plenty of humour thrown in. Great venue and vibes.

This is more a reflection of the theater than the production. The production was absolutely amazing and would go watch again. Unfortunately this theater is a far cry from good. The staff allowed a larger collective group of late people in around 25 without any though or consideration 10 15 min into the start. They also was always up and down the right side of the stalls isle near the toilets not asking other people to be quite and was generally quite dissapointed.

I went to see Wicked the musical and i strongly recommend going to see it! The actors were amazing, the song entertaining with a real orchestra! The decor and costums were also incredible! And also the building in itself is beautiful! Go see this musical!

We had an amazing time watching Wicked. Seats Stalls J40 and 41 were superb. There was only one moment in the show where we couldn't see clearly what was happening rear left, so more central seats would have prevented this. At the cost we paid for slightly off-centre, very pleased.
