Shaftesbury Theatre, London

The Shaftesbury Theatre opened in 1911 and is located on Shaftesbury Avenue along with the Apollo Theatre and the Lyric Theatre. First named the New Prince’s Theatre, the theatre was renamed in 1962 to what it is today.

The first show at the Shaftesbury Theatre was The Three Musketeers, kickstarting over a century’s worth of theatre and opera. Gilbert and Sullivan operas including The Return of Sherlock Holmes ensured that the auditorium was filled night after night.

From 1962, the Shaftesbury has been a leading theatre for housing musicals, including Gentleman Prefer Blondes, How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying and Hair.

In recent years, productions staged at the Shaftesbury include Rock of Ages and Memphis.
