Ambassadors Theatre, West End theatre in Westminster, England
The Ambassadors Theatre contains 444 seats arranged in a horseshoe shape, creating direct sightlines to the stage from every position in the auditorium.
When opening its doors in 1913, the Ambassadors Theatre presented intimate revue performances that continued throughout the First World War period.
From 1952 to 1973, the theatre housed Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap before the production transferred to St Martin's Theatre next door.
Located near Leicester Square station, the Grade II listed building includes wheelchair spaces, an elevator, accessible restrooms, and an infrared hearing system.
The theatre marked the West End debut of 22-year-old Vivien Leigh in The Mask of Virtue during 1935, launching her path to international recognition.
