Venue info

Le Garrick Theatre est une salle de théâtre londonienne présentée sur British Theatre. Découvrez les spectacles à venir, des informations pratiques pour préparer votre visite, ainsi que des conseils pour réserver vos billets. Financé par W. S. Gilbert et nommé d'après l'acteur shakespearien influent David Garrick, le Garrick Theatre a ouvert ses portes le 24 avril 1889. L'une de ses premières réussites fut la comédie A Pair of Spectacles, qui débuta en 1890 et se joua pendant cinq ans. Après la production suivante, The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith, le théâtre connut une période de déclin. Loué par Arthur Bourchier, le théâtre recommença à monter des productions à succès, telles que The Wedding Guest de J. M. Barrie en 1900 et The Water Babies de Rutland Barrington en 1902. Ces productions se poursuivirent à travers divers changements de direction qui laissèrent finalement le théâtre inoccupé entre 1939 et 1941. Lorsque l'acteur-chanteur-danseur Jack Buchanan prit la direction du théâtre en 1947, le théâtre commença à présenter une série de comédies très réussies. Après une rénovation entre 1965-66, le théâtre fut menacé par le projet de réaménagement de Covent Garden proposé par le GLC en 1968. La campagne Save London Theatres réussit à faire abandonner le projet. De nos jours, les productions à succès ont inclus No Sex Please We're British en 1982, qui se joua pendant quatre ans avant de transférer au Duchess Theatre, An Inspector Calls en 1995 (un transfert réussi depuis le National Theatre), et One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest en 2006, avec l'acteur de cinéma Christian Slater. Récemment, le théâtre a accueilli une série de comédies musicales, telles que A Little Night Music en 2007, Loserville en 2012, et Rock of Ages en 2013.

History

Financed by W. S. Gilbert and named after influential Shakespearean actor David Garrick, the Garrick Theatre opened on 24 April 1889. One of its early successes was the comedy A Pair of Spectacles which opened in 1890 and ran for five years. After the follow-up production The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith, the theatre suffered a period of decline.

Leased by Arthur Bourchier, the theatre began staging successful productions once more, such as J. M. Barrie’s The Wedding Guest in 1900 and Rutland Barrington’s The Water Babies in 1902. These productions would continue through various management changes that would eventually leave the theatre unemployed between 1939 and 1941. When actor-singer-dancer Jack Buchanan began managing the theatre in 1947, the theatre began presenting a string of highly successful comedies.

After a refurbishment between 1965-66, the theatre found itself under threat by the GLC proposed redevelopment of Covent Garden in 1968. The Save London Theatres Campaign successfully led to the abandonment of the scheme. In modern times successful productions have included 1982’s No Sex Please We’re British, which ran for four years before transferring to the Duchess Theatre, 1995’s An Inspector Calls (a successful transfer from the National Theatre), and 2006’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, starring film actor Christian Slater.

The theatre has recently seen a string of musicals take residence in the theatre, such as A little Night Music in 2007, Loserville in 2012, and Rock of Ages in 2013.

THE PRODUCERS WOW 🤣🤣🤣. We have not laughed so much in ages. Such a brilliant performance from all of the cast. The constant subtle and not so subtle parts were hilarious. Mel Brooks film The Producers was very funny and if you liked that then you will love the stage production it really is above par. Can not recommend it enough. Very cosy comfortable theatre, lovely staff , non stop laughter what more could you ask for.

I went today to see the show The Producers. It was an excellent, must see event. Hilarious, rude and outrageous. Worth every penny. I've seen 6 West End shows this year, and it was one of the best.

The Garrick Theatre is a beautifully restored theatre, with comfortable seats with enough leg room for a 6ft tall person. The stalls bar is a little small but the queue is well managed. The current production of The Producers is outstanding. Ok the content won't be approved by everyone all but take it for what it is: entertainment and it's 5* The cast is awesome, a laugh a minute show, a slightly camp riot of fun.

Came here to see The Producers. The show itself is so funny and bald. The stage design is fabulous when they do the spring time in Germany part. However, I could hear the tube running every five mins. I was sitting on the ground floor seat. And there are very little female toilets.
