沙夫茨伯里剧院

Venue info

沙夫茨伯里剧院（Shaftesbury Theatre）是伦敦的一座剧院场馆，并曾在 British Theatre 上介绍过。来看看即将上演的剧目、实用的场馆指南，以及观演前的订票贴士与建议。沙夫茨伯里剧院于1911年12月26日以“新王子剧院”的名称开幕。1914年，它改名为“王子剧院”。在剧院的早期阶段，由于竞争激烈（因为这是沙夫茨伯里大道上最后建造的剧院），演出之间存在较长的间隔，但它却有幸上演了一些成功的作品，如《三个火枪手》、《外交》和1919年吉尔伯特和沙利文的18周演出季。 1962年售给EMI后，剧院上演了多部成功的百老汇作品，包括《绅士爱美人》（1962）、《如何无痛苦地在商业中获得成功》（1963）以及《长发》（共演出1998场，最终于1973年因天花板坍塌而关闭）。该建筑在一场由英国演员协会发起的运动中被拯救，从拟议的重建中幸免，并于1975年重新开放，此后继续上演成功的音乐剧作品。例如《西区故事》（1975）、《他们在演奏我们的歌》（1980）、《梦想幻影》（1987）和《租房》（1998）。在此期间，喜剧剧院公司买下了剧院，并在2006年短暂关闭进行翻修。自重新开放以来，剧院继续举办受欢迎的音乐剧制作，如欧洲首演的《发胶》、《摇滚时代》（从加里克剧院转来的）以及《从今到永恒》的世界首演。《睡衣游戏》（2014）《从这里到永恒》（2014）《燃烧舞台》（2013年3月11日－2013年6月30日）《摇滚年代》（2011年9月27日－2013年1月6日）Derren Brown－《Svengali》（2011年6月8日－2011年7月16日）《闪舞》（2010年9月26日－2011年1月15日）《燃烧舞台》（2010年7月21日－2010年9月4日）《发胶：音乐剧》（2007年10月11日－2010年3月28日） 8, 10, 14, 19, 22a, 22b, 24, 25, 29, 38, 40, 55, 73, 134, 176 重温辣子伯里剧院的Live Aid传奇！《仅此一天》精选了皇后乐队、大卫·鲍伊、U2、艾尔顿·约翰等传奇歌曲。预定《仅此一天》门票，欣赏获得奥利弗奖提名的音乐剧，庆祝改变世界的音乐会40周年。在沙夫茨伯里剧院购买《窈窕奶爸》音乐剧门票。演出阵容、演出时间及演出时长等详情，请登录 BritishTheatre.com 查看。

History

The Shaftesbury Theatre opened on 26 December 1911, under the name the New Prince’s Theatre. It changed its name to the Prince’s Theatre in 1914. Throughout the early years of the venue, there were large gaps between performances (most likely due to competition, as the theatre was the last to be built in Shaftesbury Avenue), but it did enjoy successful productions of The Three Musketeers, Diplomacy, and an 18-week season of Gilbert and Sullivan in 1919.

After its sale to EMI in 1962, the theatre played host to several successful Broadway productions, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1962), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1963) and Hair (which ran for 1,998 performances, finally closing in 1973 due to a ceiling collapse).

The building was saved from a proposed redevelopment by an Equity campaign, and reopened in 1975, where it continued to host successful musical productions. Examples include West Side Story (1975), They’re Playing Our Song (1980), Follies (1987), and Rent (1998).

During this time, the Theatre of Comedy Company bought the theatre and briefly closed the theatre for refurbishment in 2006. Since its reopening, the theatre has continued to host popular musical productions, such as a European premiere of Hairspray, Rock of Ages (a transfer from the Garrick Theatre), and the world premiere of From Here to Eternity.

What a tremendous venue. Love it And the show.....Just for one day, the story of Live Aid is out of this world. SUPERB. If you are a fan of the 80s music scene, regardless of your age, you are in for a real treat. This performance brought back so many memories, even a singing Maggie Thatcher makes a couple of appearances. 'Give us the tax back or I'll tell people not to vote for you...' Top performers, none stop 80s hits, with a story line that rocks. Loved every minute.

Christmas Eve show. Just For One Day. Amazing. Lovely theatre. It was great to do something for us on Christmas Eve other than work. Very tidy theatre and staff were accommodating. Drinks were priced as you would expect for London. Will come again.

lovely theatre, nice location, friendly helpful staff. saw live aid just for one day, absolutely loved it 💓brilliant, chap who played Bob was astounding , got him off to a tee, 10/10 and freddie Mercury was amazing goose bumps galore. I wanted to get up n dance to every song 😃 really enjoyed it, lady who played Maggie was hysterical and very entertaining 👏 I believe it is going on tour, so will definitely be seeing it again. slightly disappointed there was no encore, I had assumed they would have come on and sung feed the world at the end.

Nice theatre, doesn't seem as big as others but that's fine. Nice staff showing you where to go and to you seats. We were sat in the stalls and it was the beginning of January and very cold outside, it wasn't much warmer in the theatre but don't let that out you off.
