Venue info

El Shaftesbury Theatre es un teatro de Londres que aparece en British Theatre. Descubre los próximos espectáculos, información práctica sobre el recinto y consejos para reservar entradas antes de tu visita. El Shaftesbury Theatre abrió sus puertas el 26 de diciembre de 1911, bajo el nombre de New Prince’s Theatre. En 1914 cambió su nombre a Prince’s Theatre. Durante los primeros años del lugar, hubo grandes intervalos entre las representaciones (muy probablemente debido a la competencia, ya que fue el último teatro construido en Shaftesbury Avenue), pero disfrutó de producciones exitosas como Los Tres Mosqueteros, Diplomacy y una temporada de 18 semanas de Gilbert and Sullivan en 1919. Después de su venta a EMI en 1962, el teatro albergó varias producciones exitosas de Broadway, incluyendo Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1962), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1963) y Hair (que tuvo 1,998 representaciones, cerrando finalmente en 1973 debido al colapso de un techo). El edificio fue salvado de una reurbanización propuesta gracias a una campaña de Equity y reabrió en 1975, donde continuó albergando exitosas producciones musicales. Ejemplos incluyen West Side Story (1975), They’re Playing Our Song (1980), Follies (1987) y Rent (1998). Durante este tiempo, la Theatre of Comedy Company compró el teatro y lo cerró brevemente para su renovación en 2006. Desde su reapertura, el teatro ha seguido alojando populares producciones musicales, como el estreno europeo de Hairspray, Rock of Ages (una transferencia desde el Garrick Theatre) y el estreno mundial de From Here to Eternity.

History

The Shaftesbury Theatre opened on 26 December 1911, under the name the New Prince’s Theatre. It changed its name to the Prince’s Theatre in 1914. Throughout the early years of the venue, there were large gaps between performances (most likely due to competition, as the theatre was the last to be built in Shaftesbury Avenue), but it did enjoy successful productions of The Three Musketeers, Diplomacy, and an 18-week season of Gilbert and Sullivan in 1919.

After its sale to EMI in 1962, the theatre played host to several successful Broadway productions, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1962), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1963) and Hair (which ran for 1,998 performances, finally closing in 1973 due to a ceiling collapse).

The building was saved from a proposed redevelopment by an Equity campaign, and reopened in 1975, where it continued to host successful musical productions. Examples include West Side Story (1975), They’re Playing Our Song (1980), Follies (1987), and Rent (1998).

During this time, the Theatre of Comedy Company bought the theatre and briefly closed the theatre for refurbishment in 2006. Since its reopening, the theatre has continued to host popular musical productions, such as a European premiere of Hairspray, Rock of Ages (a transfer from the Garrick Theatre), and the world premiere of From Here to Eternity.

What a tremendous venue. Love it And the show.....Just for one day, the story of Live Aid is out of this world. SUPERB. If you are a fan of the 80s music scene, regardless of your age, you are in for a real treat. This performance brought back so many memories, even a singing Maggie Thatcher makes a couple of appearances. 'Give us the tax back or I'll tell people not to vote for you...' Top performers, none stop 80s hits, with a story line that rocks. Loved every minute.

Christmas Eve show. Just For One Day. Amazing. Lovely theatre. It was great to do something for us on Christmas Eve other than work. Very tidy theatre and staff were accommodating. Drinks were priced as you would expect for London. Will come again.

lovely theatre, nice location, friendly helpful staff. saw live aid just for one day, absolutely loved it 💓brilliant, chap who played Bob was astounding , got him off to a tee, 10/10 and freddie Mercury was amazing goose bumps galore. I wanted to get up n dance to every song 😃 really enjoyed it, lady who played Maggie was hysterical and very entertaining 👏 I believe it is going on tour, so will definitely be seeing it again. slightly disappointed there was no encore, I had assumed they would have come on and sung feed the world at the end.

Nice theatre, doesn't seem as big as others but that's fine. Nice staff showing you where to go and to you seats. We were sat in the stalls and it was the beginning of January and very cold outside, it wasn't much warmer in the theatre but don't let that out you off.
