Venue info

El Palace Theatre es un teatro de Londres destacado en British Theatre. Descubre los próximos espectáculos, información práctica sobre el recinto y consejos para reservar entradas antes de tu visita. El Teatro Palace se inauguró en enero de 1891 con la intención de ser un hogar para la ópera inglesa. Originalmente llamado La Casa de la Ópera Real Inglesa, sus dos primeras producciones (Ivanhoe y La Basoche) fueron un éxito, pero no había otras obras listas para llenar el teatro. Fue vendido un año después, convertido en un gran salón musical y renombrado como el Teatro Palace de Variedades. El teatro cambió de manos nuevamente en 1904 y el nuevo gerente, Alfred Butt, enfatizó una programación variada que incluía bailarinas y proyecciones de películas (que comenzaron en 1897). En 1911, el título del teatro se alteró a El Teatro Palace, y vivió actuaciones memorables durante el resto del siglo XX. En 1922, el teatro acogió al famoso grupo de comedia Los Hermanos Marx, quienes interpretaron selecciones de sus espectáculos en Broadway. La comedia musical No, No, Nanette se estrenó en 1925 y tuvo 665 representaciones. Otros espectáculos de esta era incluyen Princess Charming (1926), The Girl Friend (1927) y Gay Divorce (1933); el último musical de teatro de Fred Astaire. Estos éxitos musicales continuarían con The Sound of Music (que se estrenó en 1961 y tuvo 2,385 representaciones), Jesus Christ Superstar (1972-80) y Les Miserables (1985), que se presentó durante 19 años antes de trasladarse al Teatro Queens. Las producciones recientes y populares incluyen The Woman in White (2004-06), Spamalot (2006-09) y Priscilla Queen of the Desert (2009-11).

History

The Palace Theatre opened in January 1891 with the intention of being a home for English Grand Opera. Originally titled The Royal English Opera house, its first two productions (Ivanhoe and La Basoche) were successes, but there were no other works ready to fill the theatre. It was sold a year later, converted into a grand musical hall and renamed the Palace Theatre of Varieties. The theatre changed hands again in 1904 and new manager Alfred Butt emphasized a variety line-up, including dancing girls and film screenings (which began in 1897).

In 1911, the theatres title was altered to The Palace Theatre, and saw memorable performance throughout the rest of the 20th Century. In 1922, the theatre played host to the famous comedy group The Marx Brothers, who performed selections from their shows on Broadway. The musical comedy No, No, Nanette opened in 1925 and ran for 665 performances. Other shows of this era include Princess Charming (1926), The Girl Friend (1927) and Gay Divorce (1933); Fred Astaire’s final stage musical.

These musical successes would continue with The Sound of Music (opening in 1961 and running for 2,385 performances), Jesus Christ Superstar (1972-80), and Les Miserables (1985), which ran for 19 years before transferring to the Queens Theatre. Recent and popular productions include The Woman in White (2004-06), Spamalot (2006-09), and Priscilla Queen of the Desert (2009-11).

I finally got tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Parts 1 & 2) after wanting to go for years, so I was really excited to see what the hype was about. Entry was straightforward: bag checks, a quick scan, tickets shown, then you’re in. The first thing you see is the merch store with show-exclusive items. I grabbed a couple of key rings as souvenirs (something I always do), a bit pricey at around £20 for two and a bag, but expected for theatre merch. They also sell a programme book for £5 with cast info and behind-the-scenes bits, which is actually pretty worth it. The bar area was classy too, and the staff were really friendly and fun. One downside: the seats are tight. I’m not a big guy and still felt cramped 😂 But once the show started, the acting was so good that I honestly forgot about it most of the time. There were a few small things that broke immersion though. Early on, the Sorting Hat actor accidentally said “Gryffindor” instead of “Slytherin,” which confused the whole audience. There was also an unexpected 10-20 minute technical pause that wasn’t the intermission, which disrupted the flow a bit. And Hagrid’s portrayal felt slightly off at times (plus him adjusting his beard mid-scene was unintentionally funny 😂). That said, a lot of the performances were amazing, especially Scorpius, Albus, Snape, and Moaning Myrtle. Scorpius in particular stole the show for me, giving total Matt Smith/Doctor Who energy. Overall, despite a few hiccups and the cramped seating, the staff were great and the production quality and acting were fantastic. I’d definitely recommend seeing both parts in one day if you can. It’s a long day, but totally worth it.

If you haven't seen Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, I highly recommend taking the time to do so. Not in New York, not in Hamburg — but in London. Only there will you get the full experience. It’s such a great piece. Even the theatre itself feels magical. Go and watch it now. Later this year, it will apparently change and you’ll only be able to see the shorter version. So do it now while you still can. You won’t regret it.

I've watched the Harry Potter play and it was just amazing - best performance I've ever seen in my life. The building is magnificent as well, but indeed, not the most comfortable one. I got my tickets to the Grand Circle E12 for 70 quids, and it was great I can highly recommend!

An exquisite theatre where we watched "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" - stunning choreography and set design throughout, with some incredible cliffhangers at every part of the story. The show is broken into 4 parts over 2 shows - each show having an intermission in the middle. Epic story, breathtaking visuals and very talented acting from all! Ron was super funny to watch on the stage 😉 Some feedback is around the pricing of the merchandise - I wish it was not so expensive and more affordable for families. The ticket prices are already around £100 or more per ticket! Would be helpful if pricing was more family friendly, rather then profit focused. Another area of feedback is to allow for birthday announcements - no system for this currently. Otherwise, a wonderful experience for the whole family. P.S. The dementors are super realistic and scary!
