Venue info

El Trafalgar Theatre es un teatro londinense destacado en British Theatre. Descubre los próximos espectáculos, información práctica sobre el recinto y consejos para reservar entradas antes de tu visita. El Trafalgar Theatre se llamó originalmente Whitehall Theatre cuando abrió sus puertas el 29 de septiembre de 1930. A lo largo de la década, se forjó una reputación por acoger comedias modernas, antes de producir varias revistas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Uno de los mayores éxitos de aquel periodo fue The Whitehall Follies, protagonizada por Phyllis Dixey. Considerada la primera artista de striptease en actuar en el West End, el triunfo del espectáculo le permitió arrendar el teatro y permanecer allí durante los cinco años siguientes. En las décadas de 1950 y 1960, el teatro acogió cinco farsas (conocidas como las Whitehall Farces), que resultaron especialmente populares (con temporadas de entre 2 y 4 años cada una). Entre 1969 y 1974, una revista de desnudos (Pyjama Tops) se presentó en el recinto antes de que este cerrara. El teatro reabrió finalmente tras una reforma en 1986. Continuó con una programación de comedias hasta que en 1997 se convirtió en un estudio de televisión y radio. Volvió a su uso teatral en 1999, pero posteriormente cerró para ser reconfigurado. El nuevo teatro, llamado Trafalgar Studios, abrió el 3 de junio de 2004 con una producción de Otelo. Desde entonces, ha albergado temporadas cortas de obras y musicales, entre ellos Sweeney Todd, Jane Eyre, Dealer’s Choice, Entertaining Mr. Sloane y Cuento de Navidad. Restaurado y rebautizado como The Trafalgar Theatre, el edificio se sometió a un proyecto de restauración de varios millones de libras, devolviendo la sala a su diseño patrimonial original de los años 30, parte del cual no se veía desde hace más de 90 años.

History

The Trafalgar Theatre was originally called the Whitehall Theatre when it opened on 29 September 1930. Throughout the decade, it built up a reputation for housing modern comedies, before producing several revues throughout the Second World War.

One of the greatest successes of the period was The Whitehall Follies, which starred Phyllis Dixey. As the first stripper to perform in the West End, the success of the show allowed her to lease the theatre and stay there for the next five years.

The 1950s and 1960s saw the theatre hosting five farces (known as the Whitehall Farces), which proved especially popular (running 2-4 years each). From 1969-1974, a nude revue (Pyjama Tops) played in the venue before it was closed.

The theatre finally reopened after refurbishment in 1986. It continued a programme of comedies before it was converted into a television and radio studio in 1997. It returned to theatrical use in 1999, but was subsequently closed to be reconfigured. The new theatre called Trafalgar Studios, opened on 3 June 2004 with a production of Othello. Since then, the theatre has hosted short runs of plays and musicals, including Sweeney Todd, Jane Eyre, Dealer’s Choice, Entertaining Mr. Sloane, and A Christmas Carol.

Restored and renamed The Trafalgar Theatre, the building underwent a multi-million-pound restoration project reinstating the theatre back to its original heritage 1930s design, some of which has not been seen for over 90 years.

What a gorgeous theatre, we went to see the 17:30 show of "Oh, Mary"! on Thursday 26th February. It's absolutely lovely inside with the most comfortable seats, we have ever sat in. Lovely staff who were very friendly. We will definitely be back.

I haven’t seen a production at the Trafalgar Theatre since it was the Trafalgar Studios. Previously the theatre had two Studios - which provided quite an intimate atmosphere for plays, but the Studios themselves were somewhat bland and lacked character. I visited recently to see “Oh, Mary!” and was really impressed with the renovations that have transformed the theatre back to its former Art Deco glory - now it really is a beautiful theatre. The play itself was superb - camp frivolity at its finest. Mason Alexander Park is a force of nature and mesmerising to watch. Seats were comfortable, and bathrooms were clean. All the staff I met were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be visiting again.

I visited for the first time to see the Clarkston play, which runs until November 22nd. It features talented actors Joe Locke, Ruaridh Mollica, and Sophie Melville. The Trafalgar Theatre is a stunning Grade II listed venue situated near Trafalgar Square. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful whenever I had questions. I had the excellent opportunity to sit on the balcony, where the seats were incredibly comfortable with ample legroom.

Went to see @Clarckston last week. We LOVED it. But I am writing this review to thank the staff of the theatre. We had a problem with our tickets and they helped us A LOT doing what they could so my daughter could see one of her favourite actors. Everything worked out perfect at the end. Thank you for your kindness and Support.
