Venue info

O Vaudeville Theatre, em Londres, é um espaço teatral londrino em destaque no British Theatre. Descubra os próximos espetáculos, informações práticas sobre o local e dicas para comprar bilhetes antes da sua visita. O Vaudeville Theatre abriu portas a 16 de abril de 1870. Fiel ao nome, as primeiras produções em cena foram uma comédia e um espetáculo burlesco. O teatro entrou para a história com a produção de Our Boys, em 1875, que se tornou a primeira peça de teatro no mundo a alcançar 500 representações consecutivas — e, mais tarde, 1.000. Em 1889, o teatro encerrou para obras de remodelação. Quando reabriu, em 1891, passou a ter uma plateia mais ampla e confortável. Nos anos seguintes, Our Boys regressou em reposição, a par de comédias e musicais de sucesso como Quality Street (de J. M. Barrie), The Catch of the Season, The Belle of Mayfair e Baby Mine, até que o eclodir da Primeira Guerra Mundial transformou o espaço num palco de entretenimento ligeiro e revistas musicais. Essas revistas mantiveram-se em cartaz até o teatro voltar a encerrar em 1925. O teatro reabriu em 1926 com um interior totalmente reconstruído e depressa apresentou uma série de êxitos, incluindo a revista R.S.V.P., a comédia The Bread-Winner e o musical Salad Days, transferido do Bristol Old Vic. Este último bateu recordes no West End ao somar 2.283 representações, tornando-se o espetáculo com mais tempo em cena na história do teatro musical (até ser ultrapassado por My Fair Lady dois anos depois). Em tempos mais recentes, o teatro passou por mais uma remodelação, apresentou uma reposição de Salad Days, acolheu Stomp durante cinco anos e passou a ser gerido pela Nimax Theatres. Atualmente, a Mischief Theatre está em residência no Vaudeville Theatre.

History

The Vaudeville Theatre opened on 16 April 1870. True to its name, its inaugural productions were a comedy play, and a burlesque show. The venue made history with its 1875 productions Our Boys, which became to first theatrical production in the world to reach 500 consecutive performances, and then 1,000 performances.

In 1889 the theatre was closed for refurbishment. When it reopened in 1891 it contained more spacious seating. The years that followed saw a revival of Our Boys alongside successful comedies and musicals like Quality Street (by J. M. Barrie), The Catch of the Season, The Belle of Mayfair, and Baby Mine, before the outbreak of the First World War turned the theatre into a venue for light entertainment and musical revues. These revues would run until the theatre was closed again in 1925.

The theatre reopened in 1926 with a completely reconstructed interior and quickly produced a string of successful productions including the revue R.S.V.P, the comedy The Bread-Winner, and the musical Salad Days, a transfer from Bristol Old Vic that set West-End records by running for 2,283 performances, making it the longest-running show in musical theatre history (until it was overtaken by My Fair Lady 2 years later).

In recent times, the theatre has undergone another refurbishment, produced a revival of Salad Days, hosted the Stomp for 5 years, and brought under the management of Nimax theatres.

At present, Mischief Theatre are in residence at the Vaudeville Theatre.

Went to see Six the musical on Sunday 21st December. It was absolutely brilliant. It's quite an intimate theatre not as big as other west End theatres I've been to. It is well maintained. We sat in Box D, which has a restricted view of the side of the stage but to be honest it didn't matter to me because most of the songs are performed in the middle anyway. Loved having the space to sit comfortably and so close to the stage!

Six is a fun funky musical. The singers and the songs are very fitting for each wife and made me laugh. The show is very upbeat like a disco party. If you want actually facts about Henry 8th wives and want a quiet and calm atmosphere, this show is NOT for you. Get you sparkly outfits on and enjoy the rock show. I sat in row D stalls "Sorry, not sorry 'bout what I said I'm just tryna have some fun"

Up in the circle the viewing was a little cramped. Hence four stars. But then I've just watched Six and forget the seats the performance was just fantastic. The cast had wonderful voices and the production was uplifting and sublime. My 45 Year 8 students all loved it. And given the fact that watching a musical was "gonna be boring" was how we started even better! Well done. Will deffo be going again!

We sat in seats A1-2 of the Dress Circle. Seat A1 was advertised as restricted view but there didn’t seem to be anything restricted about it. Would highly recommend. Great legroom and spacious area around these seats. Six the musical absolutely incredible. So impressed. The theatre itself is lovely and intimate. Much smaller than others in the West End.
