Gielgud Theatre
The Gielgud Theatre is a West End theatre, located on Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster, London, at the corner of Rupert Street. The house currently has 986 seats on three levels.
The theatre was designed by W.G.R. Sprague and opened on 27 December 1906 as the Hicks Theatre, named after Seymour Hicks, for whom it was built. The first play at the theatre was a hit musical called ''The Beauty of Bath'' co-written by Hicks. Another big success was ''A Waltz Dream'' in 1908. In 1909, the American impresario Charles Frohman became manager of the theatre and renamed the house the Globe Theatre – a name that it retained for 85 years. ''Call It a Day'' opened in 1935 and ran for 509 performances, a long run for the slow inter-war years. ''There's a Girl in My Soup'', opening in 1966, ran for almost three years, a record for the theatre that was not surpassed until ''Daisy Pulls It Off'' opened in April 1983 to run for 1,180 performances, the theatre's longest run. In 1987 Peter Shaffer's play ''Lettice and Lovage'' opened, starring Maggie Smith, and became a hit.
The Globe's theatre cat, named Beerbohm, became famous enough to receive a front page obituary in the theatrical publication, ''The Stage'' in 1995. Refurbished in 1987, the theatre has since presented several Alan Ayckbourn premieres, including 1990's ''Man of the Moment'', as well as a notable revival of ''An Ideal Husband'' in 1992. During reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe theatre on the South Bank, in 1994 the theatre was renamed the Gielgud Theatre in honour of John Gielgud. Another refurbishment was completed in 2008.
