Performance venues

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

West EndPlayhousesWorth it for the building

Sprague opened it in March 1903, by which point he had designed twenty-nine others; it seats 942 on four levels and is historically protected. It faces the Duke of York's across St Martin's Lane, which gives that stretch two Edwardian fronts looking at each other.

Coward's first staged play, I'll Leave It to You, ran here for thirty-seven performances in 1920 when he was twenty. The theatre took his name in 2006.
