गिलगुड थिएटर लंदन का एक थिएटर स्थल है, जिसे British Theatre पर फीचर किया गया है। अपनी यात्रा से पहले आगामी शो देखें, स्थल से जुड़ी उपयोगी जानकारी, और टिकट बुकिंग से जुड़े सुझाव जानें। गिलगड थिएटर, जिसे मूल रूप से हिक्स थिएटर कहा जाता था, 27 दिसंबर 1906 को खोला गया था। इसके पहले दो प्रस्तुतियाँ, दी ब्यूटी ऑफ बाथ और माई डार्लिंग जैसी म्यूजिकल्स, दोनों ही सीमोर हिक्स द्वारा लिखी गई थीं, जिनके नाम पर थिएटर का नाम रखा गया था। जब हिक्स की पत्नी 'द डैशिंग लिटिल ड्यूक' (1909) के कई प्रदर्शनों से बीमारी के कारण अनुपस्थित रहीं, तब उन्होंने खुद भूमिका निभाई। उसी वर्ष, चार्ल्स फ्रॉमेन थिएटर के एकमात्र प्रबंधक बन गए और इसे 'ग्लोब थिएटर' नाम दिया। लेडी रैंडोल्फ चर्चिल (विंस्टन चर्चिल की मां) ने फिर से खुलने वाली प्रस्तुति 'हिस बॉरोड प्ल्यूम्स' लिखी। अगले दो दशकों में सफल प्रस्तुतियों की झड़ी लग गई, जैसे 1925 में 'फॉलन एंजल्स', 1935 में 'कॉल इट ए डे' (जो 509 प्रदर्शनों तक चली), और 1938 में जॉन गिलगड का 'द इम्पॉर्टेंस ऑफ बीइंग अर्नेस्ट' (जिसमें गिलगड ने अभिनय भी किया और निर्देशन भी किया)। गिलगड का अगला प्रोडक्शन, क्रिस्टोफर फ्राई का 'द लेडीज़ नॉट फॉर बर्निंग', 1949 में सफलतापूर्वक शुरू हुआ, और अगले दशकों में 'अ मैन फॉर ऑल सीजन्स' (1960, इसका मंच प्रीमियर भी), 'दैर इज ए गर्ल इन माई सूप' (1966, 1,064 प्रस्तुतियाँ तक चली) और 'डेज़ी पुल्स इट ऑफ' (1983, 1,180 प्रदर्शनों के साथ, थिएटर की सबसे लंबी दौड़) के रूप में इस सफलता को बरकरार रखा गया। साउथ बैंक पर शेक्सपियर के ग्लोब का उद्घाटन होने के साथ, 1994 में थिएटर का नाम गिलगड थिएटर रखा गया, न केवल अभिनेता के योगदान के सम्मान में, बल्कि दो समान नाम वाले स्थलों के कारण होने वाले सार्वजनिक भ्रम से बचने के लिए भी। 2007-8 के बीच एक व्यापक नवीनीकरण हुआ। Blithe Spirit (2014)Strangers On A Train (2014)Private Lives, The Audience, Strangers on a Train (2013)Chariots of Fire (2012)The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Lend Me a Tenor, The Ladykillers (2011)Hair, Yes Prime Minister (2010)Enjoy, Avenue Q (2009)Gilbert and Sullivan सीज़न, God of Carnage, Six Characters in Search of an Author (2008)Equus, Macbeth, Nicholas Nickleby (2007)The Crucible, The Canterbury Tales, Frost/Nixon (2006)Don Carlos, Some Girls, And Then There Were None (2005)All’s Well That Ends Well, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (2004)Tell Me on a Sunday (2003) एनसीपी वार्डर स्ट्रीट, एनसीपी न्यूपोर्ट प्लेस, एनसीपी डेनमैन स्ट्रीट, एनसीपी लेक्सिंगटन स्ट्रीट। चाइनाटाउन, सोहो (क्यू पार्क स्कीम) सहायता प्राप्त प्रदर्शन:क्या श्रवण-बाधित लोगों के लिए सुविधाएं हैं? संपूर्ण सभागार में सामान्य हेडसेट के साथ इन्फ्रारेड सिस्टम काम करता है। सहायक कुत्तों को सभागार के अंदर अनुमति है। स्टाफ कुत्तों की देखभाल भी कर सकते हैं। कैमरन मैकिन्टॉश के शानदार नए प्रोडक्शन के साथ लायनेल बार्ट के प्रिय म्यूज़िकल की वापसी वेस्ट एंड के गिएलगुड थिएटर में हो रही है, जिसका निर्देशन और कोरियोग्राफी मैथ्यू बॉर्न द्वारा की गई है। ओलिवर! के लिए टिकट बुक करें, जिसके बारे में समीक्षकों ने कहा है कि यह 'विजयी' और 'छूटने न लायक' है। सर्वश्रेष्ठ टिकट, विशेष ऑफ़र, और नवीनतम वेस्ट एंड समाचारों के लिए सबसे पहले बनें। आप कभी भी सदस्यता समाप्त कर सकते हैं। गोपनीयता नीति

History

The Gielgud Theatre, originally called the Hicks Theatre, opened on 27 December 1906. It’s first two productions, the musicals The Beauty of Bath and My Darling, were both written by Seymour Hicks, who the theatre was named after. When Hick’s wife missed several performances of The Dashing Little Duke (1909) due to illness, he stepped into the role personally.

In that same year, Charles Frohman became sole manager of theatre and quickly renamed it the Globe Theatre. Lady Randolph Churchill (Winston Churchill’s mother) wrote the reopening production, His Borrowed Plumes. The next two decades were peppered with successful productions such as Fallen Angels in 1925, Call It a Day in 1935 (which ran for 509 performances), and John Gielgud’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest in 1938 (in which Gielgud both starred and directed).

Gielgud’s next production, Christopher Fry’s The Lady’s Not for Burning, has a successful premiere in 1949, and that success was followed up in the next decades with A Man For All Seasons (1960, also its stage premiere), There’s a Girl in My Soup (1966, ran for 1,064) and Daisy Pulls it Off (1983, 1,180 performance, the theatre’s longest run).

With the opening of Shakespeare’s Globe on the South Bank, the theatre was renamed the Gielgud Theatre in 1994, both in honor of the actor’s contribution, and to avoid public confusion over two similar venue titles. An extensive refurbishment took place between 2007-8.

Fantastic. The theatre is absolutely beautiful, only small but perfect. We went to see Oliver which was incredible. The cast were absolutely amazing. What a superb production. This was our first visit to this particular theatre and it didn't disappoint. It's history is amazing and when you sit a look around, then think of all the wonderful people that have trod them boards it was an honour to sit and see the talent and dedication of the people on that stage. Going to the theatre gives an experience that nothing else gets close to. This performance will hook you for ever, so it's a must to visit.

The Gielgud Theatre looks great from the outside and even better on the inside. Pretty much all of the seating gives an adequately good view with most of it giving a great view because of its design. The stage was larger than normal which had to be to put on such a show as Oliver. The Acoustics from the orchestra was amazing. Plenty of bars and toilets to accommodate such a wide audience.
