Le Piccadilly Theatre a ouvert ses portes le 27 avril 1928 avec une production de la comédie musicale Blue Eyes, portée par la célèbre actrice Evelyn Laye.

Au début des années 1950, à la suite de travaux de rénovation, il a rouvert sous son nom d’origine et est redevenu une salle de théâtre. Les années 1960 et 1970 ont vu les premières londoniennes de Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, A Streetcar Named Desire et Man of La Mancha, ainsi que le passage des Beatles, venus y enregistrer des titres pour l’émission radio From Us to You.

History

The Piccadilly Theatre opened 27 April 1928 with a production of the musical Blue Eyes, starring acclaimed actress Evelyn Laye. It was briefly taken over by Warner Brothers and used as a cinema. It premiered the first talking picture in Great Britain (The Singing Fool). After the theatre reopened in 1929, it produced productions of The Student Prince and Folly to be Wise, which ran for 257 performances.

The theatre was converted into a cabaret restaurant and reopened under the new name the London Casino. Its lavish stage shows would come to an end when a stray German bomb hit it during the Second World War. It reopened under its original name in the early 1950s following renovations and became a theatrical venue once more.

The 1960s and 70’s saw the London premieres of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Man of La Mancha, as well as playing host to The Beatles when they recording songs for the radio programme From Us to You. In 1986 theatre was the venue for the variety show Live From the Piccadilly. Recent productions have included Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake, Grease, and the Donmar Warehouse’s production of Guys and Dolls.

It was our first time watching Moulin Rouge and we have to say it was a spectacular show! From the beginning to the end it was fantastic. The actors were amazing they’re so talented and have great voices. The show was about 2 hours 45 minutes long, with about a 15 minute break in between, so bear that in mind. The bar downstairs was a bit small, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. We recommend booking the tickets in advance. We loved our seats we were in Row S, so it wasn’t too close to the stage and not too far back either. The stage props were incredible as well. Shout out to all the actors, the crew behind the stage, and all the theatre staff! It was an amazing day for us! 🤩

Moulin Rouge at the Piccadilly Theatre…. What a treat. The Piccadilly Theatre set in the heart of Soho is in a fantastic location with so much history and charm going on all around you. Access to the Piccadilly is very easy by foot, taxi or tube. There is only one very slow moving road outside the Theatre which is good for the hoards of pedestrians piling out the doors after the show. The outside of the Theatre is adorned with all the Moulin Rouge signs and lights making an attractive approach to your night out and certainly getting you ready for the show. Entrance is swift and it was a refreshing change not to be queuing around the block trying to get in. Once inside there are 3 bars set on different levels. The bars are nothing special at all and if I had one slight criticism, there were very few chairs. This does somehow need improving but to be fair, all 3 bar areas are quite small so maybe this is not possible. Once inside the Theatre itself, the Piccadilly is a beautiful setting all dressed up for the show. There are the typical stalls and balcony seating above. I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house unless you have someone tall sat in front of you..!! We have previously seen Moulin Rouge on Broadway in New York at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre which was rather special however, the Piccadilly certainly holds its own and delivers the full on Moulin Rouge charm, atmosphere and excitement. The show itself is just a fantastic piece of performing arts and id strongly recommended everyone to go and see this true spectacle. Get yourself to London and book some tickets for this show at the Piccadilly Theatre…. You won’t be disappointed.
