Venue info

Het Wyndham's Theatre in Londen is een van de locaties die worden uitgelicht op British Theatre. Ontdek de nieuwste voorstellingen, praktische informatie over het theater en handige tips voor het boeken van tickets voorafgaand aan uw bezoek. Het Wyndham's Theatre opende zijn deuren op 16 november 1899. De eerste voorstelling was een heropvoering van 'David Garrick', waarbij de toenmalige Prince of Wales (de latere koning Edward VII) in de zaal zat. De familie Du Maurier was nauw verbonden met het theater: Gerald werkte er vanaf 1910 vijftien jaar lang nauw mee samen, en zijn dochter Daphne bracht in 1940 haar toneelstuk 'The Years Between' op de planken. Een van de grootste successen in de geschiedenis van het theater was 'The Boy Friend', een musical-pastiche die overkwam van het Players’ Theatre. De show werd maar liefst 2.078 keer opgevoerd voordat hij de overstap maakte naar Broadway. In 1972 volgde een ander musicalsucces met 'Godspell', dat twee jaar lang volle zalen trok. In de jaren 90 schitterden talloze grote namen uit de toneelwereld op het podium van Wyndham's. Zo waren onder anderen Maggie Smith (in de Britse première van Edward Albee’s 'Three Tall Women'), Dame Diana Rigg ('Medea'), Albert Finney ('Art') en Madonna ('Up For Grabs') er te zien. Sinds de overname door Delfont-Mackintosh in 2005 is de reputatie van het theater alleen maar gegroeid. Zo vonden er succesvolle producties plaats zoals 'Sunday in the Park with George' (afkomstig van de Menier Chocolate Factory), 'The History Boys' (National Theatre) en een twaalf maanden durend seizoen van de Donmar Warehouse, met vier toneelstukken onder regie van Michael Grandage. Wyndham's blijft een belangrijke plek voor grensverleggende toneelstukken en musicals in het hart van West End.

Bryan Cranston keert terug naar de West End in Arthur Millers vlijmscherpe Amerikaanse klassieker. Onder regie van Tony- en Olivier Award-winnaar Ivo van Hove is All My Sons in Wyndham’s Theatre geopend met vijfsterrenrecensies: ‘een magnifieke productie die je doet huiveren’ (The Guardian), ‘een verbluffend, diep ontroerend stuk toneel’ (Evening Standard).

History

Wyndham's Theatre opened on 16 November 1899. Its first performance was a revival of David Garrick and the Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII) was present in the audience. The du Maurier family had a close association with the theatre, with Gerald conducting a 15-year association from 1910 and his daughter Daphne presenting her play The Years Between on the stage in 1940.

One of the biggest successes at the theatre was The Boy Friend, a musical pastiche that had moved from the Players’ Theatre. The show ran for 2,078 performances and transferred to Broadway. 1972 would see another musical success with Godspell (which ran for 2 years).

Many esteemed actors and celebrities graced the Wyndham's stage throughout the 1990s, including Maggie Smith (in the British premiere of Edward Albee’s Three Tall Women), Dame Diana Rigg (Medea), Albert Finney (Art) and Madonna (Up For Grabs).

After Delfont-Mackintosh took over the theatre in 2005, the venue went from strength to strength, with successful transfers of Sunday in the Park with George (Menier Chocolate Factory), The History Boys (National Theatre), and a 12-month season from the Donmar Warehouse (presenting 4 plays directed by Michael Grandage).

Wyndham's continues to host cutting edge plays and musicals.

Absolutely appalling experience. We bought two standing tickets for a play and arrived just 8 minutes after the stated start time (due to traffic congestion), only to be made to watch the play from the bar on a TV screen. This is completely unacceptable. They claimed this was their policy for latecomers and part of their T&Cs, but nowhere was this (watching the play from a TV screen) stated when we booked the tickets, not in the confirmation email. It feels misleading and unfair. Also, what musical or play actually starts exactly on the dot? None. This policy shows zero understanding or consideration for customers (especially when standing or sitting near the door, without disturbing anyone) The service was bad, the staff were unhelpful, and the whole experience was incredibly disappointing. We paid for a live theatre experience and were denied it. Needless to say, that I left the show earlier because I didn’t have any pleasure to spend 2 hours at bar. I would give 0 stars if possible. I will never come back here again.

The seats were fairly comfortable and visibility was great. There were plenty of friendly staff available to help and answer questions. Beautiful space, amazing play! The acoustics were quite good. As a first time attendee at Wyndham theatre, I was confused because all of my emails came from Delfont Macintosh, which is the group that owns the theatre, but NOT where you should go to see the play!

Located right in the heart of London near Leicester Square, this is one of the city’s historic theatres and the atmosphere is genuinely wonderful. It really does take you back in time. I have had the chance to see several great productions here, most recently All My Sons, which I thoroughly enjoyed. That said, one thing to be aware of is the seating. The legroom is very tight, and it can feel quite uncomfortable if you are sitting for a longer performance. Definitely something to keep in mind when booking.
