サヴォイ劇場

Venue info

サヴォイ・シアターは、ロンドンの劇場で、British Theatreで紹介している会場です。ご来場前に、上演予定の公演情報や会場の実用ガイド、チケット予約のポイントをチェックしてみてください。旧サヴォイ宮殿の跡地に建てられ、1881年10月10日に開場したサヴォイ劇場は、世界で初めて照明を全面的に電気だけで賄った一般公開の建物として知られています。こけら落とし公演はギルバート＆サリヴァンの『パティエンス（Patience）』。その後も同コンビのコミック・オペラ（喜歌劇）最後の8作品を上演し（1885年の『ミカド（The Mikado）』、1889年の『ゴンドリエ（The Gondoliers）』など）、このジャンルを指す言葉としての「サヴォイ・オペラ（Savoy Opera）」という呼称が定着するきっかけにもなりました。劇場は20世紀初頭までオペラティックな作品の上演を続けます。1922年12月には『宝島（Treasure Island）』の舞台化作品を製作し、これが大ヒット。第二次世界大戦が始まるまで毎年のように再演される定番演目となりました。1929年の短い休館をはさみ、その後はギルバート＆サリヴァンの定期シーズンに加え、大作のストレートプレイも上演（例：1941年に『ブライス・スピリット（Blithe Spirit）』初演、1931年には『サロメ（Salome）』のイングランド初の一般公開公演）し、幅広いレパートリーを誇りました。 1990年には火災が建物を襲い、舞台と楽屋・舞台裏のエリアを除くほぼすべてが失われました。しかし当時の設計図が保全されていたことが大きな助けとなり、劇場は復元されて1993年に再開。1990年代から2000年代にかけてはギルバート＆サリヴァンの再演のほか、『The Importance of Being Oscar』や『ヘイ・フィーヴァー（Hay Fever）』といった話題のストレートプレイも上演されました。近年では『キューティ・ブロンド（Legally Blonde）』のウエストエンド初演が同劇場で行われ、2010年から2012年にかけてロングランを記録しています。 1, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 23, 26, 59, 68, 76, 77a, 91, 168, 171, 172, 176, 188, 243, 341, 521 このクマをよろしくお願いいたします！世界で愛されているマーマレード好きのクマが、ロンドンのサヴォイ劇場で壮大なデビューを果たします。音楽はマクフライのトム・フレッチャー、脚本はオリヴィエ賞受賞者のジェシカ・スウェイル、演出はルーク・シェパード（『＆ジュリエット』、『スターライト・エクスプレス』）が担当します。『パディントンザミュージカル』は家族、帰属意識、そして強い視線を温かくウィットに富んだ形で祝う作品です（タイムアウトより）。ロンドンのサヴォイ・シアターで上演中のウエストエンド・ミュージカル『ミーン・ガールズ』を、笑い満載で存分にお楽しみください。チケット予約はBritishTheatre.comで。英国の劇場ニュースサイトで、最新のウェストエンド情報、独占オファー、そして最高のチケットを手に入れるには真っ先にチェックしてください。

History

Built on the site of the old Savoy Palace and opening on 10 October 1881, the Savoy Theatre was the first public building in the world to be lit solely by electricity. Its first production was Gilbert and Sullivan’s Patience. The theatre would go on to present the final eight of their comic operas (such as The Mikado in 1885 and The Gondoliers in 1889), inspiring the phrase ‘Savoy Opera’ as a description for the genre.

The theatre would continue to host operatic performances until the early 20th Century. In December 1922, the theatre produced an adaptation of Treasure Island, which proved so popular it was revived every year until the beginning of the Second World War. After a brief closure in 1929, the theatre hosted regular seasons of Gilbert and Sullivan, as well as major non-musical works (for example, the premiere of Blithe Spirit in 1941, and the first public performances in England of Salome in 1931).

In 1990, a fire swept through the building, claiming everything except for the stage and backstage areas. Thanks to the preservation of the original plans, the theatre was restored and reopened in 1993. The 1990s and 2000s played host to a mixture of Gilbert and Sullivan revivals, and successful dramatic works (like The Importance of Being Oscar and Hay Fever). More recently the theatre played host to the West End premiere of Legally Blonde, which ran from 2010-2012.

Review is about the theatre not the shows. The worst theatre I've ever been in for comfort. Seats narrow and have 0 leg room. Im 5ft 7 and was uncomfortable for the 3 hours. It was ridiculously hot. Everyone was suffering being on top of each other. We were in the Grand Circle and when we showed our tickets outside we felt the woman was rude. Very much "you are in the cheapest seats go round.." Signage would have saved the embarrassment. We asked if we could go to the bar as thats why we arrived early. She said we could but we would have to come back and use the other external entrance to get to our seats. Fine. It was only when we ordered at the bar did they put an announcement out to say there are actually bars and toilets on every level. Why she didnt point this out was just rude. We've never been here before. The Paddington Musical was exceptional. This is no reflection on the shows you will see.

We went to see Paddington the Musical which was great! Our seats were in the Grand Circle and the view was good even with the safety rail. The leg room was rather cramped though. The theatre itself was ornate and rather beautiful, and of course being right next door to The Savoy theatre also makes it rather special.

My partner and I watched Paddington The Musical at The Savoy Theatre and truly believe it’s one of the best experiences we’ve done! The entire cast were brilliant, the set design was mesmerising and we experienced every emotion possible! We 100% recommend this to anybody wanting to create a beautiful memory! ✨🐻

Had a fantastic time seeing Paddington. An amazing production, the cast were all great - especially Paddington (very cute!). We were sat in seats C4 C5 in the Dress Circle, had a clear view of the entire stage - would recommend bringing a marmalade sandwich or two 🥪
