Venue info

El Vaudeville Theatre de Londres es un teatro londinense que aparece en British Theatre. Descubre los próximos espectáculos, información práctica sobre el recinto y consejos para reservar entradas antes de tu visita. El Vaudeville Theatre abrió sus puertas el 16 de abril de 1870. Fiel a su nombre, sus primeras producciones fueron una comedia y un espectáculo de burlesque. El teatro hizo historia con la producción de 1875 Our Boys, que se convirtió en la primera obra teatral del mundo en alcanzar 500 funciones consecutivas y, posteriormente, 1.000. En 1889 el teatro cerró para una reforma. Cuando reabrió en 1891, contaba con un aforo más amplio y cómodo. Los años siguientes trajeron un reestreno de Our Boys, junto con comedias y musicales de gran éxito como Quality Street (de J. M. Barrie), The Catch of the Season, The Belle of Mayfair y Baby Mine, hasta que el estallido de la Primera Guerra Mundial transformó el teatro en un espacio dedicado al entretenimiento ligero y a las revistas musicales. Estas revistas se mantuvieron en cartel hasta que el teatro volvió a cerrar en 1925. El teatro reabrió en 1926 con un interior completamente reconstruido y pronto encadenó una serie de éxitos, entre ellos la revista R.S.V.P, la comedia The Bread-Winner y el musical Salad Days, trasladado desde el Bristol Old Vic, que batió récords en el West End con 2.283 funciones, convirtiéndose en el espectáculo más longevo de la historia del teatro musical (hasta que My Fair Lady lo superó dos años después). En tiempos más recientes, el teatro ha pasado por otra reforma, ha producido un reestreno de Salad Days, ha acogido Stomp durante cinco años y ha pasado a estar bajo la gestión de Nimax Theatres. En la actualidad, Mischief Theatre tiene su residencia en el Vaudeville Theatre.

History

The Vaudeville Theatre opened on 16 April 1870. True to its name, its inaugural productions were a comedy play, and a burlesque show. The venue made history with its 1875 productions Our Boys, which became to first theatrical production in the world to reach 500 consecutive performances, and then 1,000 performances.

In 1889 the theatre was closed for refurbishment. When it reopened in 1891 it contained more spacious seating. The years that followed saw a revival of Our Boys alongside successful comedies and musicals like Quality Street (by J. M. Barrie), The Catch of the Season, The Belle of Mayfair, and Baby Mine, before the outbreak of the First World War turned the theatre into a venue for light entertainment and musical revues. These revues would run until the theatre was closed again in 1925.

The theatre reopened in 1926 with a completely reconstructed interior and quickly produced a string of successful productions including the revue R.S.V.P, the comedy The Bread-Winner, and the musical Salad Days, a transfer from Bristol Old Vic that set West-End records by running for 2,283 performances, making it the longest-running show in musical theatre history (until it was overtaken by My Fair Lady 2 years later).

In recent times, the theatre has undergone another refurbishment, produced a revival of Salad Days, hosted the Stomp for 5 years, and brought under the management of Nimax theatres.

At present, Mischief Theatre are in residence at the Vaudeville Theatre.

Went to see Six the musical on Sunday 21st December. It was absolutely brilliant. It's quite an intimate theatre not as big as other west End theatres I've been to. It is well maintained. We sat in Box D, which has a restricted view of the side of the stage but to be honest it didn't matter to me because most of the songs are performed in the middle anyway. Loved having the space to sit comfortably and so close to the stage!

Six is a fun funky musical. The singers and the songs are very fitting for each wife and made me laugh. The show is very upbeat like a disco party. If you want actually facts about Henry 8th wives and want a quiet and calm atmosphere, this show is NOT for you. Get you sparkly outfits on and enjoy the rock show. I sat in row D stalls "Sorry, not sorry 'bout what I said I'm just tryna have some fun"

Up in the circle the viewing was a little cramped. Hence four stars. But then I've just watched Six and forget the seats the performance was just fantastic. The cast had wonderful voices and the production was uplifting and sublime. My 45 Year 8 students all loved it. And given the fact that watching a musical was "gonna be boring" was how we started even better! Well done. Will deffo be going again!

We sat in seats A1-2 of the Dress Circle. Seat A1 was advertised as restricted view but there didn’t seem to be anything restricted about it. Would highly recommend. Great legroom and spacious area around these seats. Six the musical absolutely incredible. So impressed. The theatre itself is lovely and intimate. Much smaller than others in the West End.
