Shaftesbury Theatre otwarto 26 grudnia 1911 roku jako New Prince’s Theatre, a już trzy lata później nazwę skrócono do Prince’s Theatre. W początkowym okresie działalności przerwy między kolejnymi produkcjami bywały dość długie – prawdopodobnie ze względu na dużą konkurencję, jako że był to ostatni gmach wzniesiony przy słynnej Shaftesbury Avenue. Mimo to scena mogła pochwalić się sukcesami takich tytułów jak „Trzej muszkieterowie”, „Dyplomacja” czy niezwykle popularny, 18-tygodniowy sezon z repertuarem Gilberta i Sullivana w 1919 roku. Po przejęciu obiektu przez EMI w 1962 roku, teatr stał się domem dla wielkich hitów z Broadwayu. Na afiszu pojawiły się m.in. „Mężczyźni wolą blondynki” (1962) oraz „Jak odnieść sukces w biznesie zanadto się nie wysilając” (1963). Największym triumfem okazał się jednak musical „Hair”, który zagrano aż 1998 razy – ze sceny zszedł dopiero w 1973 roku w wyniku niespodziewanego zawalenia się sufitu. Budynek udało się uratować przed planowaną rozbiórką dzięki kampanii związku zawodowego Equity. Po ponownym otwarciu w 1975 roku teatr pozostał wierny muzycznemu profilowi, goszcząc takie przeboje jak „West Side Story” (1975), „They’re Playing Our Song” (1980), „Follies” (1987) czy kultowe „Rent” (1998). W międzyczasie obiekt przeszedł w ręce Theatre of Comedy Company, a w 2006 roku został na krótko zamknięty w celu renowacji. Od tamtej pory Shaftesbury Theatre nie zwalnia tempa, prezentując największe hity, w tym europejską premierę „Lakieru do włosów” (Hairspray), przeniesione z Garrick Theatre „Rock of Ages” oraz światową premierę musicalu „Stąd do wieczności”.

About Shaftesbury Theatre

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 took the name the Shaftesbury Theatre, as the original Shaftesbury Theatre further along Shaftesbury Avenue had been destroyed in the Blitz. It 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.

A Grade II listed building, it was the first steel frame theatre in the West End and is the only London theatre with a dome that opens. A RIBA award winning fly tower was added in 2016, and a new stalls bar and expanded front of house spaces followed between 2020 and 2023. Recent productions include & Juliet, Mrs Doubtfire, Just For One Day and Avenue Q.

In February 2027 the Shaftesbury, the largest independent theatre in the West End, will be renamed the Judi Dench Theatre in honour of Dame Judi Dench, the first West End theatre to be named after an actress. The first production to open under the new name is the UK premiere of The Notebook, the new musical based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, with previews from 10 March 2027.

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.
