伦敦帕拉迪亚剧院

伦敦帕拉迪姆剧院（London Palladium）是伦敦的一处剧院场馆，曾在 British Theatre 上重点介绍。来这里看看即将上演的剧目、实用的场馆指南，以及观演前的订票建议与小贴士。 1910年12月26日开幕之初，伦敦帕拉丁剧院（London Palladium，1934年前一直以“The Palladium”为名）便迅速成为综艺演出的顶级场地之一，例如1926年的圣诞童话哑剧《灰姑娘》（这版制作的影像资料至今仍留存）。整个1930年代，娱乐团体“疯狂帮”（The Crazy Gang）长期在此驻演，深受大众欢迎，也赢得了英国王室的青睐。其间，演出预订由著名戏剧经纪人瓦尔·帕内尔（Val Parnell）负责。 第二次世界大战期间，剧院曾遭遇惊险一幕：一枚未爆的降落伞水雷穿透屋顶坠入剧场，引发炸弹警报。皇家海军拆弹小组随即赶到，并成功将其安全处理。 1945年，帕内尔出任总经理，推行大胆策略——在主打阵容中优先引进知名美国明星。登台者包括朱迪·嘉兰（Judy Garland）、宾·克罗斯比（Bing Crosby）、鲍勃·霍普（Bob Hope）、小萨米·戴维斯（Sammy Davis Jr）与弗兰克·辛纳屈（Frank Sinatra）。帕拉丁的综艺声势随后因ITV直播节目《伦敦帕拉丁的星期日之夜》（Sunday Night at the London Palladium，1955—1967）进一步扩大，该节目全程以现场直播形式播出。1968年，剧院推出首部音乐剧作品《金童》（Golden Boy），由小萨米·戴维斯主演。 1980年代剧院一度回归综艺路线（ITV1《Live From the Palladium》），随后又逐渐增加音乐剧上演比例，包括《雾都孤儿》（Oliver!）与《周六夜狂热》（Saturday Night Fever）。2000年“真正有用集团”（Really Useful Group）收购剧院后，这一趋势仍在延续。 如今，剧院也常回到自身“综艺殿堂”的传统——举办重量级音乐会（如艾尔顿·约翰 Elton John 的演出），并多次担任“皇家综艺表演”（Royal Variety Performance）的常设举办地，最近一次就在2013年。 《国王与我》（2018）《迪克·惠廷顿》（2017）《柳林风声》（2017）《灰姑娘》（2016）《舞王》——迈克尔·弗莱特利《危险游戏》（2014）《短袜与牛仔裤》（2014）《我不会唱——X 音素音乐剧》（2014）《合唱线》《冰上胡桃夹子》（2013）《史克鲁奇——音乐剧》（2012）《绿野仙踪》（2011）《怪物史瑞克：音乐剧》（2010）《修女也疯狂：音乐剧》（2009）《音乐之声》（2006）《伦敦帕拉丁剧院的辛纳屈》（2006）《史克鲁奇——音乐剧》（2005）《飞天万能车》（2002）《国王与我》（2000）《周末狂热》（1998）《奥利弗！》（1994）《约瑟夫与神奇梦幻彩衣》（1991） 3

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).
