Shaftesbury Theatre, Theatre in West End, London, Great Britain

The Shaftesbury Theatre stands as a Grade II listed building with a seating capacity of 1,400 people in Shaftesbury Avenue.

Architect Bertie Crewe designed this theatre, which opened in 1911 as the New Prince's Theatre before adopting its current name in 1963.

The venue has presented numerous productions ranging from Shakespeare plays to contemporary musicals, hosting companies like the D'Oyly Carte Opera and Ballets Russes.
