Vaudeville Theatre<\/a>Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

Located on the Strand in Westminster, the Vaudeville Theatre London is an old West End house famous for hosting, like the name suggests, vaudeville shows and musical revues. A genre of musical theatre, vaudeville is a variety of entertainment that originated at the end of the 18th century. Construction of the original building was completed in 1870 under the leadership of C J Phipps and was rebuilt twice with the seating capacity reducing with each subsequent renovation. In 1926, the theatre was closed and underwent another round of major renovation, this time focusing on the interior as designed by Robert Atkinson. During this renovation, the auditorium was redesigned from the traditional horseshoe shape to its current rectangle shape. The ownership of the theatre was passed around in the late 20th century and presently resides with Max Weitzenhoffer. The theatre interior features gold fleck wallpaper with a modest blue-grey paint.<\/p>\n

In its 148 years of existence, the Vaudeville Theatre London has been home to some truly iconic productions. A few major productions include Present Laughter, Blithe Spirit, Shirley Valentine, Salad Days, Showtune, Kat and the Kings, Madame Melville, Swimming with the Sharks, The Deep Blue Sea, Private Lives, An Ideal Husband, What the Butler Saw, Great Expectations, Forbidden Broadway, Hand to God, Stepping Out, True West, and many others.<\/p>\n

Practical Information<\/h2>\n

Section Accessibility<\/h3>\n

Stalls<\/b>:The stalls section can be accessed via 6 steps down from the foyer. There’s a handrail in place and the steps to the section are highlighted to enable patrons ease of access. Patrons can also access the stalls through the secure AAT Major Stair Climber. This reclines on a flat surface down the six steps, allowing wheelchair users to access the theatre comfortably.<\/p>\n

Dress Circle<\/b>: The dress circle section can be accessed 22 steps up from the foyer. These steps come with a handrail with highlighted steps. There’s a gap of three steps between each row in the section but there are no handrails available.<\/p>\n

Upper Circle<\/b>: The final section of the theatre can be accessed by taking 54 steps up from the foyer. Like the other two sections, this section also features handrails and highlighted steps. Do note that steps to the upper circle are very narrow and this section is not suitable for patrons with limited mobility.<\/p>\n

Available Facilities<\/h3>\n

Wheelchair Accessible<\/b>:Only the stalls section has seats available for wheelchair users. The six steps that lead to the stalls section can be accessed via the stair climber. Guests who need to use the stair climber should reach the theatre at least 45 minutes before the show’s scheduled start time.<\/p>\n

Restroom<\/b>: There are two women’s toilets located in the stalls and upper circle section. For men, two toilets are available in the dress circle and upper circle section. Unfortunately, the Vaudeville Theatre London doesn’t have any accessible\/adapted toilets and wheelchair users have to use the accessible toilets at the Adelphi Theatre.<\/p>\n

Bar<\/b>: There are two bars in the Vaudeville Theatre London, one each on the dress circle and upper circle sections. Patrons who are seated in the stalls section and are unable to access the bars can call for an at-seat service.<\/p>\n
