런던 팔라디움

Venue info

런던 팔라디움은 British Theatre에 소개된 런던의 공연장입니다. 방문 전 다가오는 공연 일정, 유용한 공연장 이용 안내, 티켓 예매 팁을 확인해 보세요. 1910년 12월 26일 문을 연 더 팔라디움(1934년까지는 이 이름으로 불렸습니다)은 곧바로 버라이어티 공연의 대표 무대로 자리 잡았습니다. 1926년에는 판토마임 ‘신데렐라’가 올려졌고(이 공연의 영상 자료가 지금도 남아 있습니다), 1930년대 내내 코미디·버라이어티 팀 ‘더 크레이지 갱(The Crazy Gang)’이 이 극장에 정기적으로 출연하며 대중은 물론 왕실로부터도 큰 사랑을 받았습니다. 이 시기 흥행·대관 업무는 공연 흥행사(임프레사리오) 밸 파넬(Val Parnell)이 맡아 운영했습니다. 제2차 세계대전 중에는 폭탄 위협도 겪었습니다. 불발된 낙하산 기뢰가 지붕을 뚫고 떨어진 사건으로, 현장에 출동한 영국 해군 폭발물 처리반이 이를 안전하게 처리했습니다. 파넬은 1945년 경영총괄(매니징 디렉터)에 올라, 1부 헤드라이너를 미국의 유명 스타들로 채우는 과감한 편성 정책을 추진했습니다. 주디 갈랜드, 빙 크로스비, 밥 호프, 새미 데이비스 주니어, 프랭크 시나트라 등이 그 주인공이었습니다. 팔라디움의 버라이어티 쇼 인기는 ITV의 간판 프로그램 ‘Sunday Night at the London Palladium’로 더욱 확산됐는데, 이 프로그램은 방영 기간(1955~1967) 내내 생방송으로 송출됐습니다. 1968년에는 새미 데이비스 주니어가 주연한 ‘Golden Boy’로 이 극장 첫 뮤지컬 제작을 선보였습니다. 1980년대 ITV1의 ‘Live From the Palladium’로 버라이어티가 한 차례 부활한 뒤, 극장은 ‘Oliver!’와 ‘Saturday Night Fever’ 등 뮤지컬 공연 비중을 점차 늘려갔습니다. 2000년 Really Useful Group이 극장을 인수한 이후에도 이런 흐름은 이어졌습니다. 이 극장은 엘튼 존 같은 아티스트의 콘서트를 여는 등 ‘원래의 뿌리’로 자주 돌아가며, 로열 버라이어티 퍼포먼스의 단골 개최지로도 잘 알려져 있습니다(가장 최근으로는 2013년). 왕과 나 (2018)딕 위팅턴 (2017)버드나무에 부는 바람 (2017)신데렐라 (2016)로드 오브 더 댄스 - 마이클 플랫리 - 데인저러스 게임즈 (2014)바비 삭스와 블루 진스 (2014)노래는 못해요 - X 팩터 뮤지컬 (2014)코러스 라인, 아이스 위의 호두까기 인형 (2013)스크루지 – 더 뮤지컬 (2012)오즈의 마법사 (2011)슈렉 더 뮤지컬 (2010)시스터 액트 더 뮤지컬 (2009)사운드 오브 뮤직 (2006)런던 팔라디움의 시나트라 (2006)스크루지 – 더 뮤지컬 (2005)치티 치티 뱅 뱅 (2002)왕과 나 (2000)새터데이 나이트 피버 (1998)올리버!

History

Open its opening on December 26 1910, The Palladium (as it was titled until 1934) quickly became a premier venue for variety performances, such as the 1926 pantomime Cinderella (video footage of this production remains to this day). Throughout the 1930s, the entertainment group The Crazy Gang performed at the theatre regularly, gaining widespread popularity with the general public as well as the Royal Family. During this time, bookings were manages by theatrical impresario Val Parnell.

During the Second World War, the theatre suffered a bomb scare when an unexploded parachute mine fell through the roof. A Royal Navy bomb disposal team arrived on the scene and managed to render it safe.

Parnell became managing director in 1945 and embarked on a radical policy of favoring famous American acts at the top of the bill. These included Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr, and Frank Sinatra. The popularity of the Palladium’s variety shows would be further expanded with the ITV programme Sunday Night at the London Palladium, which was broadcast live throughout its run (1955-1967). In 1968, the theatre produced its first musical, Golden Boy starring Sammy Davis Jr.

After a return to variety in the 1980s (ITV1’s Live From the Palladium), the theatre began showing more musicals, Including Oliver! and Saturday Night Fever. When the Really Useful Group purchased the theatre in 2000, the trend continued.

The theatre often returns to its roots as the host of music concerts (such as Elton John) and as a regular host of the Royal Variety Performance (as recently as 2013).

Great theatre. Wonderful panto, never laughed so much. Julian Clarey was amazing, so so funny, but Catherine Tate and Nigel Havers also so good. Amazing sets and costumes, had a great time. Would love to see again next year.

Absolutely breathtaking show! Last night at the London Palladium was pure magic. Dita’s show is elegance, power, femininity, and flawless artistry all in one. Every detail-from choreography and costumes to lighting and music-was executed to absolute perfection. The atmosphere was electric, the performers were phenomenal, and the entire show felt like a living piece of art. It wasn’t just entertainment, it was an experience-sensual, bold, classy, and unforgettable. A standing ovation-worthy performance. Thank you for such an inspiring and beautiful night. London Palladium at its finest ♥️

Ordering a concert ticket was very easy,I had a couple of questions regarding my order which were answered quickly online and over the phone by customer service. The venue is a beautiful,historic theatre which hasn't been over refurbished,so you do have a sense of history in the auditorium. Good queue management prior to the show (Psychedelic Furs),quick bar service,clean toilets,comfortable stall seats and comfortable temperature. Great support act(Anja Huwe). Amazing performance from the"Furs",great audience atmosphere and everyone dancing halfway through the set. Looking forward to Jethro Tull in May '26.

Managed to get good seats for the Dead Ringers tour at the last minute (cancellation came up) Seats were good in the stalls, but uglf you're above average height your knees will suffer as mine did. Nice inside, although a bit of a maze (think all old theatres are though) Fantastic show though. And when it finished we were able to go out one of the other exits so didn't spend too long queuing
