Piccadilly Theatre, Theatre in Westminster, London, England
The Piccadilly Theatre is a theatre building in Westminster, London, featuring an art deco interior with seating for 1,232 across three levels. The rows are distributed through stalls, royal circle, and grand circle, each level offering a different perspective toward the stage.
Architect Bertie Crewe designed the building, which opened in 1928 with Jerome Kern's musical "Blue Eyes". During the Second World War, the house survived a German bombing raid and continued operations afterward.
The name comes from the nearby street, now one of the most recognized thoroughfares in the British capital. The house draws an international audience that mainly attends large musicals with multi-month runs.
Most performances begin in the evening at 7:30 PM, with some days also offering afternoon showings. The seats are spread across three areas, with the stalls providing the shortest distance to the stage.
Warner Brothers turned the building into a cinema in 1934 and installed the then-new Vitaphone sound system. Two years later it became the London Casino, a cabaret restaurant with stage shows and table service for meals.
