Venue info

Il Trafalgar Theatre è un teatro di Londra presente su British Theatre. Scopri gli spettacoli in arrivo, le informazioni pratiche sul teatro e i consigli per prenotare i biglietti prima della tua visita. Il Trafalgar Theatre si chiamava originariamente Whitehall Theatre quando aprì il 29 settembre 1930. Nel corso del decennio si costruì una reputazione come casa della commedia moderna, prima di produrre diverse riviste durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Uno dei maggiori successi del periodo fu The Whitehall Follies, con protagonista Phyllis Dixey. Prima spogliarellista a esibirsi nel West End, il trionfo dello spettacolo le permise di prendere in affitto il teatro e rimanervi per i successivi cinque anni. Gli anni ’50 e ’60 videro il teatro ospitare cinque farse (note come Whitehall Farces), che si rivelarono particolarmente popolari (con repliche di 2–4 anni ciascuna). Dal 1969 al 1974, una rivista con nudo (Pyjama Tops) andò in scena nel locale prima della chiusura. Il teatro riaprì finalmente dopo un intervento di ristrutturazione nel 1986. Proseguì con una programmazione di commedie, prima di essere convertito in studio televisivo e radiofonico nel 1997. Tornò all’uso teatrale nel 1999, ma venne successivamente chiuso per essere riconfigurato. Il nuovo teatro, chiamato Trafalgar Studios, aprì il 3 giugno 2004 con una produzione di Othello. Da allora, il teatro ha ospitato teniture brevi di prosa e musical, tra cui Sweeney Todd, Jane Eyre, Dealer’s Choice, Entertaining Mr. Sloane e A Christmas Carol. Restaurato e ribattezzato Trafalgar Theatre, l’edificio è stato oggetto di un progetto di recupero da diversi milioni di sterline, che ha riportato il teatro al suo design originale in stile anni ’30, parte del quale non si vedeva da oltre 90 anni.

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.
