Birthplace of the Modern Musical, with Victorian Glamour and Contemporary Comfort
The Savoy Theatre is a landmark venue located just off the Strand, attached to the iconic Savoy Hotel. Opened in 1881 by impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte, it was the first public building in the world to be lit entirely by electricity. Over the decades, it has remained a trailblazer in theatrical production, hosting premieres, revivals, and legendary talent.
Historic Milestones
Built specifically to showcase the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan, the theatre quickly gained a reputation for technical innovation and artistic quality. It burned down in 1990 and was rebuilt to its original Victorian design with modern upgrades, reopening in 1993. The auditorium features intricate plasterwork, red velvet furnishings, and classic charm, while backstage boasts state-of-the-art technical capabilities.
Notable Productions
The Savoy Theatre has hosted a wide range of productions, including Fiddler on the Roof, Legally Blonde, Gypsy with Imelda Staunton, and Sunday in the Park with George. More recently, it has featured Pretty Woman: The Musical, maintaining its profile as a venue for feel-good, big-hearted shows with high production values.
Design and Accessibility
The theatre seats approximately 1,158 across three levels. Although compact, it provides excellent sightlines and acoustics from all sections. Accessibility has been improved with step-free access to certain stalls seats and adapted restrooms. Bars and lounges are available on all levels for pre-show and interval refreshments.
Location and Experience
Being directly connected to the Savoy Hotel, the theatre is an ideal option for patrons looking for a luxury theatre experience. It is just minutes from Charing Cross and Embankment stations and surrounded by pre-theatre dining options on the Strand and in Covent Garden.
Theatre with a Legacy
Few theatres can match the Savoy’s blend of history, elegance, and modern production quality. It remains one of the most distinguished venues in the West End, attracting top-tier talent and enthusiastic audiences night after night.
