Tickets voor Evenementen in Gielgud Theatre, London

The Gielgud Theatre is a West End theatre, located on Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster, London, at the corner of Rupert Street. The Gielgud is owned by the Delfont Mackintosh group and seats just under 900 people on three levels. It was designed by WGR Sprague in a neo-classical style and opened in 1907 as the Hicks Theatre, named after actor-manager and playwright Seymour Hicks. American impresario Charles Frohman took over in 1909 and renamed it the Globe, reopening the theatre with a drama by Winston Churchill's mother, Lady Randolph Churchill. It was taken over by Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group in the 1980s and refurbished in 1987, it played host to several Ayckbourn premieres and acquired a famous theatre cat, Beerbohm, who on his death in 1995 received a front-page obituary in 'The Stage'. To avoid confusion with Sam Wanamaker's Bankside Shakespeare's Globe project, the theatre's name was changed in honour of the great thespian knight in 1992, and in 2006 Cameron Mackintosh's Delfont Mackintosh Group took ownership and embarked on a further round of refurbishments to both the facade and the interior, which were completed in 2008.
