London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.
What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance
Beerbohm Tree built it, lived in it and died in it, and The Phantom of the Opera has been in it since 1986.
West EndPlayhousesWorth it for the building
C. J. Phipps built it in 1897 for Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who owned it, ran it and had his flat in the dome on top; he was there from the day it opened until he died in 1917. He founded the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1904, while he was running this house. The house holds 1,216 on four levels and is protected at the higher grade, and the French-influenced stone front is one of the few in the West End designed to be looked at from across a wide street.
The Phantom of the Opera opened here on 9 October 1986 and has played here ever since - the second-longest-running musical in West End history, in the building it was made for.
