Il teatro (originariamente il Sans Pareil; "Senza Paragone") fu fondato nel 1806 dal mercante John Scott e da sua figlia Jane, una performer e drammaturga. Nel 1809 avevano iniziato insieme una compagnia teatrale ed eseguito oltre 50 opere scritte da Jane. Dopo il ritiro di Jane nel 1819, il teatro fu riaperto come The Adelphi e divenne noto come luogo per adattamenti teatrali delle opere di Charles Dickens, inclusi The Old Curiosity Shop e Nicholas Nickleby. Il teatro fu demolito e riaperto come The New Adelphi nel 1858, con miglioramenti all'auditorium, e le produzioni aiutarono a stabilire la reputazione di John Lawrence Toole e Arthur Sullivan. Nel 1897, l'attore William Terriss fu assassinato mentre entrava nel teatro e si dice che il suo fantasma lo infesti fino a oggi. Il teatro passò attraverso altri due nomi (The Century nel 1901, e poi tornò a The Adelphi nel 1904) prima che il sito attuale su The Strand aprisse nel 1930 a seguito di una completa riprogettazione in stile art-deco e <i>un altro</i> cambio di nome (The Royal Adelphi, che durò fino al 1940). Grazie agli sforzi della campagna Save London Theatres, l'Adelphi riuscì a sopravvivere a un proposto riqualificazione di Covent Garden da parte del GLC nel 1968, e continuò a ospitare spettacoli acclamati, come la produzione originale londinese di A Little Night Music di Sondheim. Il teatro fu acquistato e ristrutturato dal gruppo Really Useful di Andrew Lloyd Webber nel 1993, poco prima dell'apertura di Sunset Boulevard. L'Adelphi fu la casa originale di Chicago, che durò oltre 8 anni prima di trasferirsi, diventando la produzione più lunga del teatro.

For the best all-round view at the Adelphi Theatre, aim for the centre of the Stalls, roughly the middle rows a little back from the stage, where sightlines stay level and the choreography reads cleanly. If you would rather sit higher and closer to the action, the front and centre of the Dress Circle is the strong alternative. The theatre holds around 1,460 across three levels: the Stalls, the Dress Circle and the Upper Circle.
| Level | Best for | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Stalls | Level sightlines and the closest, most immersive view of the staging | The largest section, seating just over 600. The rear rows sit under the Dress Circle overhang, which clips the top of the set. |
| Dress Circle | An elevated, head-on view that takes in the full stage picture | The front rows are close and central. From a few rows back the Upper Circle overhang starts to cut off the top of the stage. |
| Upper Circle | The most affordable seats and the best value if you sit central | The furthest from the stage and steeply raked. Safety rails and end seats can intrude on the view, and legroom is tighter here. |
For Billy Elliot, the dancing is the draw, so a full, unobstructed view of the whole stage matters more than being right at the front. The centre Stalls, a handful of rows back from the stage, keep the footwork and ensemble numbers in clear view without craning. If you prefer height and want to take in the choreography and staging as a whole picture, the front and centre of the Dress Circle is hard to beat.
The Adelphi is notoriously tricky for sightlines because of its overhangs. The Dress Circle reaches out over the back of the Stalls, so the final few Stalls rows lose the top of the set. Higher up, the Upper Circle overhangs the Dress Circle from a few rows back, trimming the top of the stage. In the Upper Circle itself, the end seats in the front rows and the rows nearest the stairwells can have a safety rail in view. A handful of Stalls and Dress Circle seats sit at the far sides and are sold as restricted or side view, so read the seat notes before you commit.
The best value tends to be tucked away rather than obvious. The front rows of the Upper Circle are often the cheapest seats with a genuinely central view, provided you do not mind the height and the tighter legroom. A few clearly labelled restricted-view seats in the Dress Circle can also punch above their price if you want to sit lower for less. If you are not sure which level suits you, our West End seating guide explains how the levels compare. Compare live prices and seat availability across every section at Billy Elliot.

A ramp is available to assist wheelchair users into entering the theatre. Specific spaces for handicapped patrons are located at the back of the stalls. Transfer seating to any stalls aisle seat is available.
Are there adapted toilets?
An adapted toilet is located by the entrance to the stalls.
Are there facilities for the hard-of-hearing?
There is an infrared system working through most of the auditorium (NO COVERAGE in: Stalls – from Row R to rear, Dress Circle from Row J to rear and Upper Circle from Row F to rear) with both loop and conventional headsets.
Are guide dogs and/or hearing dogs permitted?
Guide dogs and hearing dogs are permitted in the auditorium and staff can dog sit by prior arrangement. Dogs will be looked after in the manager’s office. Please inform the box office at the time of booking.
Please contact the theatre directly for further information.

Went to see Back to the Future on a weeknight. I was seated in the last balcony, on the left side. View was really great for the price although you see a small amount of the lighting spots. But it doesn’t bother you much. Toilets are also just next to you so it's a convenient place. Seat was comfortable with enough space in front of me. The only downside was that they close the toilets at the end of the show and you take a backstage stair so you get out in the narrow alley which can be crowded.
Saw the BTTF musical on Thursday 5th March, the theatre itself was very tidy, staff were kind and helpful and enthusiastic. No issues getting in and their is multiple bars inside the theatre itself on each level. So no chance youll get thirsty lol. One thing to note, no noticeable air conditioning. If there is, I didnt notice it. Was extremely warm in upper circle once sat down. The musical itself was amazing 👏 highly recommend seeing it if your a fan of the BTTF movie.
We went to see Back To the Future! It was incredible! Absolutely incredible! An amazing show! An amazing theatre. The stage setup and lighting are phenomenal. The Best show we have seen in the West End. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you for taking us back to 1955 💫.
Takes cash payments in some of the bars and the shop. Back to the Future is the best show ive seen for ages. The dialogue is well written, the songs have clever and funny content. The music is varied and the band is amazing. Great choreography & costumes. The musical numbers really add to the story. Amazing multimedia stage production. See it while it's still on! Comfortable theatre with reasonable bar prices and some beautiful art deco inspired decor

The centre of the Stalls, a few rows back from the stage, gives the best all-round view with level sightlines. For an elevated head-on view, the front and centre of the Dress Circle is the strongest alternative.
The rear Stalls sit under the Dress Circle overhang, which clips the top of the set, and the Upper Circle overhangs the Dress Circle from a few rows back. In the Upper Circle, front-row end seats and rows near the stairwells can have a safety rail in view, and some far-side Stalls and Dress Circle seats are sold as restricted or side view.
The Adelphi Theatre holds around 1,460 people across three levels. That is roughly 622 in the Stalls, 433 in the Dress Circle and 406 in the Upper Circle.
Access from the foyer to the Stalls is step-free, and there are wheelchair spaces at the rear of the Stalls, bookable through the venue's customer services line. The Dress Circle and Upper Circle are reached only by stairs, with 41 steps to the Dress Circle and 79 to the Upper Circle, and no customer lift.
The front rows of the Upper Circle are usually the cheapest seats with a central view, as long as you do not mind the height and tighter legroom. A few clearly labelled restricted-view seats in the Dress Circle can also offer good value if you want to sit lower for less.
