Apollo Victoria Theatre London The Apollo Victoria Theatre was constructed as a 'super-cinema' and in the first place called the New Victoria Cine-Variety Theatre when it opened on 15th October, 1930 exhibiting the film “Old English” and a stage show called “Hoop-La”. This strikingly art deco cinema was designed, as were all super-cinemas of the historic period, with facilities for stage shows that would precede the cinema films. Provincial Cinematograph (PCT) asked for Ernest Walmsley Lewis to put forward plans to construct the cinema close to Victorial Station. The theatre is at present a Grade 2 Listed building with a seating capacity of 2348. With two facades by busy roads, it is alleged that cabdrivers named the theatre “Sing-Sing”. Since its curtain raising the theatre has undergone many highs and lows. The theatre is now among the major West End theatres and has hosted such musicals as The Sound of Music with Petula Clark, Camelot with Richard Harris, and Fiddler on The Roof with Topol. In 1984 the theatre hosted Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express, a show which called for much construction work to be caused to the auditorium attributable the show’s special effects. After eighteen flourishing years the show concluded on 12th January, 2002. Since this time the Apollo Victoria has undergone a good deal of refurbishment work, bringing back the theatre to its former glory. Bombay Dreams previewed from 31st May 2002 with its opening night on June 19th, 2002. The show ran until June 2004, when it moved to America. Three weeks later Saturday Night Fever moved in thrilling the West End with its 70’s style music until 18th February, 2006. On March 28th, 2006 Billy Joel’s blockbuster Broadway show Movin’ Out opened for an eight week run. Since that time, further refurbishment work has carried on until Wicked, The Untold Story of The Witches of Oz opened in September 2006 and is still playing to packed houses today. At present seen in the theatre, are the emerald green iron railings. The black and silver-channelled foyer walls have been restored and the ceiling is back with its prismatic bedazzling silver ornaments. Additional work will be carried through on this glorious theatre, but it is already a national treasure.
