Venue info

O Trafalgar Theatre é um teatro em Londres apresentado no British Theatre. Descubra os próximos espetáculos, informações práticas sobre o local e dicas para reservar bilhetes antes da sua visita. O Trafalgar Theatre chamava-se originalmente Whitehall Theatre quando abriu portas a 29 de setembro de 1930. Ao longo da década, conquistou reputação por acolher comédias modernas, antes de apresentar várias revistas durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Um dos maiores sucessos desse período foi The Whitehall Follies, com Phyllis Dixey no elenco. Sendo a primeira stripper a atuar no West End, o êxito do espetáculo permitiu-lhe arrendar o teatro e permanecer ali durante os cinco anos seguintes. As décadas de 1950 e 1960 viram o teatro receber cinco farsas (conhecidas como as Whitehall Farces), especialmente populares (com temporadas de 2 a 4 anos cada). Entre 1969 e 1974, uma revista com nudez (Pyjama Tops) esteve em cena no espaço, antes de este encerrar. O teatro reabriu finalmente após obras de renovação em 1986. Manteve uma programação de comédias até ser convertido num estúdio de televisão e rádio em 1997. Regressou ao uso teatral em 1999, mas voltaria a encerrar para ser reconfigurado. O novo espaço, chamado Trafalgar Studios, abriu a 3 de junho de 2004 com uma produção de Othello. Desde então, o teatro tem acolhido temporadas curtas de peças e musicais, incluindo Sweeney Todd, Jane Eyre, Dealer’s Choice, Entertaining Mr. Sloane e A Christmas Carol. Restaurado e rebatizado The Trafalgar Theatre, o edifício passou por um projeto de restauro de vários milhões de libras, devolvendo o teatro ao seu desenho patrimonial original dos anos 1930 — com alguns elementos que não eram vistos há mais de 90 anos.

History

The Trafalgar Theatre was originally called the Whitehall Theatre when it opened on 29 September 1930. Throughout the decade, it built up a reputation for housing modern comedies, before producing several revues throughout the Second World War.

One of the greatest successes of the period was The Whitehall Follies, which starred Phyllis Dixey. As the first stripper to perform in the West End, the success of the show allowed her to lease the theatre and stay there for the next five years.

The 1950s and 1960s saw the theatre hosting five farces (known as the Whitehall Farces), which proved especially popular (running 2-4 years each). From 1969-1974, a nude revue (Pyjama Tops) played in the venue before it was closed.

The theatre finally reopened after refurbishment in 1986. It continued a programme of comedies before it was converted into a television and radio studio in 1997. It returned to theatrical use in 1999, but was subsequently closed to be reconfigured. The new theatre called Trafalgar Studios, opened on 3 June 2004 with a production of Othello. Since then, the theatre has hosted short runs of plays and musicals, including Sweeney Todd, Jane Eyre, Dealer’s Choice, Entertaining Mr. Sloane, and A Christmas Carol.

Restored and renamed The Trafalgar Theatre, the building underwent a multi-million-pound restoration project reinstating the theatre back to its original heritage 1930s design, some of which has not been seen for over 90 years.

What a gorgeous theatre, we went to see the 17:30 show of "Oh, Mary"! on Thursday 26th February. It's absolutely lovely inside with the most comfortable seats, we have ever sat in. Lovely staff who were very friendly. We will definitely be back.

I haven’t seen a production at the Trafalgar Theatre since it was the Trafalgar Studios. Previously the theatre had two Studios - which provided quite an intimate atmosphere for plays, but the Studios themselves were somewhat bland and lacked character. I visited recently to see “Oh, Mary!” and was really impressed with the renovations that have transformed the theatre back to its former Art Deco glory - now it really is a beautiful theatre. The play itself was superb - camp frivolity at its finest. Mason Alexander Park is a force of nature and mesmerising to watch. Seats were comfortable, and bathrooms were clean. All the staff I met were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be visiting again.

I visited for the first time to see the Clarkston play, which runs until November 22nd. It features talented actors Joe Locke, Ruaridh Mollica, and Sophie Melville. The Trafalgar Theatre is a stunning Grade II listed venue situated near Trafalgar Square. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful whenever I had questions. I had the excellent opportunity to sit on the balcony, where the seats were incredibly comfortable with ample legroom.

Went to see @Clarckston last week. We LOVED it. But I am writing this review to thank the staff of the theatre. We had a problem with our tickets and they helped us A LOT doing what they could so my daughter could see one of her favourite actors. Everything worked out perfect at the end. Thank you for your kindness and Support.
