som der findes videooptagelser af den dag i dag. Op gennem 1930'erne optrådte underholdningsgruppen The Crazy Gang jævnligt på teatret og opnåede stor popularitet hos både den brede befolkning og kongefamilien. I denne periode blev bookingerne styret af den navnkundige teaterimpressario Val Parnell. Under anden verdenskrig undgik teatret med nød og næppe en katastrofe

da en ueksploderet faldskærmsmin røg direkte gennem taget. Et bomberydningshold fra Royal Navy ankom til stedet og fik uskadeliggjort minen i tide. Parnell overtog posten som administrerende direktør i 1945 og indførte en radikal kurs

hvor store amerikanske stjerner øverst på plakaten blev prioriteret. Det talte navne som Judy Garland

Bing Crosby

Bob Hope

Sammy Davis Jr. og Frank Sinatra. London Palladiums varietéshows nåede ud til endnu flere via ITV-programmet Sunday Night at the London Palladium

som blev sendt direkte i hele sin sendeperiode (1955-1967). I 1968 satte teatret sin første musical op

Golden Boy

med Sammy Davis Jr. i hovedrollen. Efter en tilbagevenden til varieté-genren i 1980'erne (med ITV1’s Live From the Palladium) begyndte teatret at satse mere på musicals

herunder succeser som Oliver! og Saturday Night Fever. Da Really Useful Group købte teatret i år 2000

fortsatte denne udvikling. Teatret vender ofte tilbage til rødderne ved at lægge scene til store musikkoncerter (eksempelvis Elton John) og fungere som fast vært for det traditionsrige Royal Variety Performance – senest i 2013.

Open its opening on December 26 1910

The Palladium (as it was titled until 1934) quickly became a premier venue for variety performances

such as the 1926 pantomime Cinderella (video footage of this production remains to this day). Throughout the 1930s

the entertainment group The Crazy Gang performed at the theatre regularly

gaining widespread popularity with the general public as well as the Royal Family. During this time

bookings were manages by theatrical impresario Val Parnell. During the Second World War

the theatre suffered a bomb scare when an unexploded parachute mine fell through the roof. A Royal Navy bomb disposal team arrived on the scene and managed to render it safe. Parnell became managing director in 1945 and embarked on a radical policy of favoring famous American acts at the top of the bill. These included Judy Garland

Bing Crosby

Bob Hope

Sammy Davis Jr

and Frank Sinatra. The popularity of the Palladium’s variety shows would be further expanded with the ITV programme Sunday Night at the London Palladium

which was broadcast live throughout its run (1955-1967). In 1968

the theatre produced its first musical

Golden Boy starring Sammy Davis Jr. After a return to variety in the 1980s (ITV1’s Live From the Palladium)

the theatre began showing more musicals

Including Oliver! and Saturday Night Fever. When the Really Useful Group purchased the theatre in 2000

the trend continued. The theatre often returns to its roots as the host of music concerts (such as Elton John) and as a regular host of the Royal Variety Performance (as recently as 2013).
