The much-anticipated new theatre in Canary Wharf has been confirmed, with the Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre set to open in October 2025.
The first production at the new venue will be The Hunger Games On Stage, a major new stage adaptation of the hit Hunger Games franchise.
The state-of-the-art 1,200 seat Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre was first proposed in September 2024, and is a purpose built to host the world premiere of the stage adaptation of The Hunger Games, allowing spectators to feel like a part of the action in a dynamic in the round venue, developed with groundbreaking entertainment in mind.
The new theatre, which can be configured to suit different types of production, also has extensive back of house facilities to include offices and dressing rooms, and front of house services including foyers, cloakrooms and restrooms, audience bars on the ground, first and second floors, and a restaurant area for around 150 covers.
The venue was initially proposed by the Canary Wharf Group, and is operated by Troubadour Theatres, who already run the successful Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, home to Starlight Express.
The new theatre in Canary Wharf is located at Wood Wharf to the east of the Canary Wharf complex, where thousands of new homes have been built, with more to come. Two giant pontoons have recently been built to house new restaurants including a Hawksmoor restaurant.
Canary Wharf has developed over the last few years from an office and financial complex to a major work, shopping, entertainment and residential area.
Other cultural attractions at Canary Wharf include the Museum of London and a cinema, but the area has never had a theatre.
The proposed Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre would open in summer to autumn 2025.
The Hunger Games On Stage will open at the new venue on 20 October 2025. The show is written by Olivier Award-winning playwright Conor McPherson (The Brightening Air, Girl from the North Country, The Weir), adapting the first book from Suzanne Collins’ epic series, and the first film from Lionsgate’s iconic dystopian film franchise.
The Hunger Games on Stage is is directed by Matthew Dunster (Hedda, Shirley Valentine, 2:22 – A Ghost Story, The Pillowman).
