A Compact and Historic Theatre with Modern Appeal
The Vaudeville Theatre is a charming, mid-sized venue located on the Strand in the heart of London’s Theatreland. Built in 1870 and now operated by Nimax Theatres, the Vaudeville has long been a home for comedies, one-person shows, and intimate plays. Its elegant Victorian interior and adaptable stage make it ideal for smaller productions that pack a big emotional punch.
Victorian Origins and Transformation
Originally opened during a boom in London theatre construction, the Vaudeville was designed by C.J. Phipps and featured opulent Victorian design. It has been rebuilt and refurbished several times since, with the current version dating from 1925 after major redevelopment. Despite these changes, it has retained its historic character while incorporating modern theatre amenities.
Notable Productions and Performers
The theatre has hosted everything from classic farce to contemporary drama. In recent years, the Vaudeville has gained a reputation for solo shows and comedy, with high-profile productions such as Emilia, Six and regular runs by Mischief Theatre and comedian Sara Pascoe. Its flexible stage and compact seating mean productions feel immersive and engaging from every seat.
Size and Features
With a capacity of just under 700, the Vaudeville is considered one of the more intimate West End venues. It offers plush seating, excellent acoustics, and strong sightlines throughout. The theatre has modernised its lighting, box office systems, and air conditioning, while preserving period details in the auditorium and foyer.
Central Location and Ease of Access
Sitting just minutes from Covent Garden, Charing Cross, and Temple stations, the Vaudeville is well connected and surrounded by great restaurants, pubs, and landmarks. It’s also popular for matinees due to its smaller size and efficient front-of-house operation.
A True West End Gem
Elegant, accessible, and packed with history, the Vaudeville Theatre is an ideal venue for those looking to enjoy new writing, modern drama, and intimate performances in a stunning historic setting.
