シャフツベリー・シアター

Venue info

シャフツベリー・シアターは、ロンドンにある劇場で、British Theatreでもご紹介しています。ご来場前に、今後の上演作品、会場へのアクセスや設備などの実用ガイド、チケット予約のポイントをチェックしてみてください。シャフツベリー劇場は、1911年12月26日にニュー・プリンス・シアターとして開業しました。1914年にはプリンス・シアターに改名されました。この劇場の初期には、（シャフツベリー・アベニューで最後に建設された劇場であり、競争が激しかったためと思われますが）公演の間には長い間隔がありましたが、1919年には『三銃士』、『Diplomacy』、そしてギルバート＆サリヴァンの18週間のシーズンが成功を収めました。 1962年にEMIに売却された後、この劇場では『紳士は金髪がお好き』（1962年）、『努力しないで出世する方法』（1963年）、そして1998回の公演を経て、1973年に天井の崩壊により閉幕した『ヘアー』など、数々の成功したブロードウェイ作品が上演されました。建物は再開発の提案からエクイティのキャンペーンによって救われ、1975年に再開し、その後も成功したミュージカル作品を開催し続けました。例として『ウエスト・サイド・ストーリー』（1975年）、『They're Playing Our Song』（1980年）、『フォリーズ』（1987年）、および『レント』（1998年）が挙げられます。この期間中、コメディ・カンパニー劇場が劇場を購入し、2006年には短期間改装のために閉鎖されました。再開されてからは、『ヘアスプレー』のヨーロッパ初演、『ロック・オブ・エイジズ』（ギャリック劇場からの移転）、および『永遠にここから』の世界初演など、人気のあるミュージカル作品を引き続き提供しています。 The Pajama Game （2014年）From Here to Eternity （2014年）Burn the Floor （2013年3月11日～2013年6月30日）Rock of Ages （2011年9月27日～2013年1月6日）Derren Brown - Svengali（2011年6月8日～2011年7月16日）Flashdance （2010年9月26日～2011年1月15日）Burn The Floor （2010年7月21日～2010年9月4日）Hairspray: The Musical（2007年10月11日～2010年3月28日）マスターパーク・チャイナタウン。NCP ミュージアムストリート、ドゥリューリーレーンアッパーセントマーチンズレーン、パーカーミューズ。ソーホー、チャイナタウン（Qパークスキーム）。シャフツベリー・シアターでライブエイドの魔法を再現！「Just For One Day」は、クイーンやデビッド・ボウイ、U2、エルトン・ジョンなどの伝説的な曲をフィーチャーしています。オリヴィエ賞にノミネートされたミュージカル『Just For One Day』のチケットを予約して、世界を変えたコンサート開催40周年を祝福しましょう。シャフツベリー・シアターで上演中のミュージカル『ミセス・ダウトファイア』のチケットはこちら。キャスト情報、開演時間、上演期間などの詳細はBritishTheatre.comでご確認ください。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

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.
