About The Theatre<\/a>Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

The Gillian Lynne Theatre London opened in 1973, and was designed by Paul Tvrtkovic at a site that had hosted many forms of entertainment since the 1600s. This area was once a tavern, a saloon, a music hall, and then a theatre bar called the Winter Garden Theatre. This was eventually demolished to make way for the Gillian Lynne Theatre. Being a rather modern theatre, its auditorium is designed to host a selection of unusual plays \u2013 its stage, orchestra pit and some of its stalls can be turned 360 degrees. The first production to play this house was The Unknown Soldier and His Wife, starring Peter Ustinov. The musical Grease arrived later that year, and launched the career of film actor Richard Gere. The musical Cats also played at this theatre for a period of nearly 21 years, starring Brian Blessed, Elaine Paige, Bonnie Langford, and a cast of the best singers and dancers London had to offer. The theatre was renamed from New London Theatre to Gillian Lynne Theatre, after famous West End choreographer Dame Gillian Lynne on May 1, 2018.<\/p>\n
