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

The Savoy Theatre London was the first public building in the world to be lit throughout by electricity! The Theatre first opened its doors as \u2018The Savoy\u2019 on the 10th of October 1881, with a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s \u2018Patience or Bunthorne\u2019s Bride\u2019. The Savoy Theatre London was purpose-built as the showcase for Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas and the partnership subsequently becoming known as the \u2018Savoy Operas\u2019. Built by Richard D\u2019Oyly Carte, the theatre has undergone several renovations, and although a proposal to build a new theatre was filed in the late 20th-century style, it was overruled and decided to restore the building as faithfully as possible to the 1929 designs.<\/p>\n

The reopened theatre was the venue for the World Chess Championship in 1993, won by Garry Kasparov. Still in use to this day, The Savoy Theatre, as with the Savoy Hotel group, is now solely owned by Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) and continues to show revivals and modern musicals. Some of its major productions include The Fiddler on the Roof, The Rat Pack: Live from Las Vegas, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Legally Blonde.<\/p>\n
