Theatre History

The Piccadilly Theatre opened on 27 April 1928 with a production of Blue Eyes by Jerome Kern.

This beautiful art deco theatre was designed by Bertie Crewe and Edward A. Stone and is close to the glamour of Piccadilly Circus and the Cafe Royal.

The Piccadilly Theatre has had an interesting history, presenting plays, musicals, entertainment and even cinema – it was the home of the UK’s first talking picture show, The Jazz Singer.

Actors who have graced the stage include Sir Ian Mckellen, Dame Judy Dench and Ewan McGregor, amongst many others.
