Venue info

剑桥剧院(Cambridge Theatre)是伦敦的一座剧院场馆,曾在 British Theatre 上介绍过。来这里之前,不妨先了解即将上演的剧目、实用的场馆指南,以及订票小贴士。 剑桥剧院建于1929至1930年间。作为对当时音乐厅与电影院风潮的一种回应,剧院内部装饰刻意选用以呼应20世纪20年代德国表现主义(German Expressionism)的美学风格。剑桥剧院的演出史上常见相对较短的驻演期,通常只持续一年,有时甚至短至两个月。 近代较长的驻演中,最具争议的要数《杰瑞·斯普林格——歌剧》(Jerry Springer – The Opera)。这部音乐剧由理查德·托马斯(Richard Thomas)与喜剧演员斯图尔特·李(Stewart Lee)创作,引发巨大反响与广泛争议,并遭到部分基督教团体多次抗议。该剧在此连演两年。 2005年,长演不衰的《芝加哥》(Chicago)从阿德尔菲剧院(Adelphi Theatre)转入剑桥剧院,在此驻演五年后再转至加里克剧院(Garrick Theatre)。目前,剑桥剧院上演的是英国皇家莎士比亚剧团(RSC)的《玛蒂尔达》(Matilda the Musical),由喜剧音乐人蒂姆·明钦(Tim Minchin)创作。 《玛蒂尔达》音乐剧(2011年11月24日-)《芝加哥》(2006年4月27日-2011年8月27日)《街头起舞》(2005年7月19日-2006年4月22日)《邪恶将至》(2005年6月2日-2005年7月2日)《杰瑞·斯普林格:歌剧》(2003年10月14日-2005年2月19日)《我们的家》(2002年10月28日-2003年8月16日)《名扬四海》(2001年9月20日-2002年8月31日)《美丽的比赛》(2000年9月26日-2001年9月1日)《火球》(1999年10月6日-1999年12月18日)《油脂》(1996年10月24日-1999年9月11日) 皇家莎士比亚公司屡获殊荣的音乐剧在剑桥剧院将罗尔德·达尔深受喜爱的故事栩栩如生。由丹尼斯·凯利执笔,蒂姆·明钦创作的原创歌曲,《玛蒂尔达》颂扬了想象力的力量和坚持正义的重要性。该剧赢得了七项奥利弗奖,包括最佳新音乐剧奖。

History

The Cambridge Theatre was built in 1929-30. In a reaction to the music halls and cinemas of the time

the interior décor was selected to reflect the style of the 1920s German expressionist movement. Productions at the Cambridge Theatre have been characterised by relatively short runs

lasting just a year or sometimes as short as two months. Longer runs in modern times have included controversial piece Jerry Springer – The Opera

a musical written by Richard Thomas and comedian Stewart Lee

which caused great outcry and led to several protests from the Christian community. The show ran for two years. In 2005

the long running show Chicago transferred from the Adelphi Theatre and remained in the Cambridge for five years before moving to the Garrick. The theatre is currently host to the RSC’s Matilda the Musical

written by comedian Tim Minchin.
