섀프츠베리 극장

Venue info

샤프츠베리 극장은 British Theatre에 소개된 런던의 공연장입니다. 방문 전 예정된 공연과 실용적인 공연장 안내, 티켓 예매 팁을 확인해 보세요. 샤프츠베리 극장은 1911년 12월 26일, 뉴 프린스 극장이라는 이름으로 문을 열었습니다. 1914년에 프린스 극장으로 이름을 바꿨습니다. 초창기에는 공연 사이에 긴 공백이 있었는데 (극장은 샤프츠베리 애비뉴에 마지막으로 지어진 극장이었기 때문에 경쟁이 원인이었을 가능성이 큽니다), '삼총사', '외교'와 1919년에 있었던 길버트와 설리번의 18주 시즌 같은 성공적인 프로덕션이 있기도 했습니다. 1962년 EMI에 매각된 후, '신사는 금발을 좋아해'(1962), '성공하려면 방해받지 않고 열심히 할 필요가 없다'(1963), 그리고 '헤어' (2,000회에 가까운 공연을 기록하며 1973년 천장 붕괴로 막을 내렸습니다)와 같은 성공적인 브로드웨이 프로덕션들이 이 극장을 무대 삼아 공연되었습니다. 건물은 제안된 재개발 계획에서 연기 캠페인으로부터 구해져 1975년에 재개장 했고, 이후 성공적인 뮤지컬 프로덕션을 개최하는 데 힘썼습니다. 이 중에는 '웨스트 사이드 스토리'(1975), '그들이 우리의 노래를 연주하고 있다'(1980), '폴리스'(1987), 그리고 '렌트'(1998)가 포함됩니다. 이 기간 동안 코메디 극단(극단 이름은 Theatre of Comedy Company)이 이 극장을 매입해 2006년에 잠시 리모델링을 위해 문을 닫았다가 재개장했습니다. 그 이후로 극장은 '헤어스프레이'의 유럽 초연, 가릭 극장에서 이전한 '락 오브 에이지스', 그리고 '여기에서 영원까지'의 세계 초연 등 인기 있는 뮤지컬 작품들을 계속해서 상영하고 있습니다. 파자마 게임 (2014)여기서 영원까지 (2014)번 더 플로어 (2013년 3월 11일 - 2013년 6월 30일)록 오브 에이지스 (2011년 9월 27일 – 2013년 1월 6일)데런 브라운 - 스벤갈리 (2011년 6월 8일 - 2011년 7월 16일)플래시댄스 (2010년 9월 26일 - 2011년 1월 15일)번 더 플로어 (2010년 7월 21일 - 2010년 9월 4일)헤어스프레이: 더 뮤지컬 (2007년 10월 11일 – 2010년 3월 28일) 8, 10, 14, 19, 22a, 22b, 24, 25, 29, 38, 40, 55, 73, 134, 176 마스터파크 차이나타운.

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.
