Venue info

शाफ़्ट्सबरी थिएटर लंदन का एक थिएटर स्थल है, जिसे British Theatre पर प्रस्तुत किया गया है। अपनी यात्रा से पहले आने वाले शोज़, स्थल से जुड़ी व्यावहारिक जानकारी और टिकट-बुकिंग के उपयोगी सुझाव देखें। शाफ्ट्सबरी थियेटर का उद्घाटन 26 दिसंबर 1911 को 'न्यू प्रिंस थिएटर' के नाम से हुआ था। यह 1914 में प्रिंस थिएटर के रूप में जाना जाने लगा। इस स्थल के शुरुआती वर्षों के दौरान अनेक प्रस्तुतियों के बीच लम्बा अंतराल था (संभवतः प्रतिस्पर्धा के कारण, क्योंकि यह शाफ्ट्सबरी एवेन्यू में निर्मित अंतिम थिएटर था), लेकिन इसे 'थ्री मस्केटियर्स', 'डिप्लोमेसी' और 1919 में गिल्बर्ट और सुलिवन के 18 सप्ताह के सत्र जैसी सफल प्रस्तुतियाँ प्राप्त हुईं। 1962 में जब इसे ईएमआई को बेचा गया, थिएटर ने कई सफल ब्रॉडवे प्रस्तुतियों की मेजबानी की, जिनमें 'जेंटलमेन प्रेफर ब्लॉन्ड्स' (1962), 'हाउ टू सक्सीड इन बिजनेस विदाउट रियली ट्राइंग' (1963) और 'हेयर' (जिसने 1,998 प्रस्तुतियों के बाद 1973 में एक छत गिरते हुए बंद कर दिया गया) शामिल थीं। इक्विटी अभियान द्वारा प्रस्तावित पुनर्विकास से इमारत को बचाया गया और 1975 में पुनः खोला गया, जहाँ यह सफल संगीत प्रस्तुतियों की मेजबानी जारी रखी। उदाहरण के लिए, 'वेस्ट साइड स्टोरी' (1975), 'दै आर प्लेइंग अवर सॉन्ग' (1980), 'फॉलीज' (1987), और 'रेंट' (1998)। इस दौरान, थिएटर ऑफ कॉमेडी कंपनी ने थिएटर खरीदा और 2006 में नवीनीकरण के लिए थोड़े समय के लिए इसे बंद कर दिया। इसके फिर से खुलने के बाद से, थिएटर ने 'हेयरस्प्रे' के यूरोपीय प्रीमियर, 'रॉक ऑफ एजेज' (गैरिक थिएटर से स्थानांतरण किया गया) और 'फ्राम हियर टू इटर्निटी' के वर्ल्ड प्रीमियर जैसी लोकप्रिय संगीत प्रस्तुतियों की मेजबानी जारी रखी है। The Pajama Game (2014)From Here to Eternity (2014)Burn the Floor (11 मार्च 2013 – 30 जून 2013)Rock of Ages (27 सितंबर 2011 – 6 जनवरी 2013)Derren Brown - Svengali (8 जून 2011 – 16 जुलाई 2011)Flashdance (26 सितंबर 2010 – 15 जनवरी 2011)Burn The Floor (21 जुलाई 2010 – 4 सितंबर 2010)Hairspray: The Musical (11 अक्टूबर 2007 – 28 मार्च 2010) 8, 10, 14, 19, 22a, 22b, 24, 25, 29, 38, 40, 55, 73, 134, 176 मास्टरपार्क चाइनाटाउन। एनसीपी म्यूजियम स्ट्रीट, ड्यूरी लेन अपर सेंट मार्टिन्स लेन, पार्कर मेव्स। सोहो, चाइनाटाउन (क्यू पार्क योजना)। सहायता प्राप्त प्रदर्शन:क्या श्रवण-बाधित लोगों के लिए सुविधाएं हैं? पूरे सभागार में एक इन्फ्रारेड सिस्टम काम कर रहा है। ऑडियो वर्णनात्मक प्रदर्शन उपलब्ध हैं। क्या गाइड कुत्ते और/या श्रवण कुत्तों की अनुमति है? सभागार के अंदर एक्सेस कुत्तों की अनुमति है। स्टाफ डॉग-सिटिंग उपलब्ध है। अधिक जानकारी के लिए कृपया थिएटर से सीधे संपर्क करें। स Shaftesbury Theatre में Live Aid के जादू को फिर से जीवंत करें!

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.
