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

Victoria Palace Theatre

Matcham's other big variety house, where the Crazy Gang played for fifteen years and Hamilton has played since 2017.

West EndPlayhousesWorth it for the building

Frank Matcham opened it in November 1911 for Alfred Butt, and for its first half-century it did variety: the Crazy Gang held the stage from 1947 to 1962, Flanagan and Allen among them, in a run of shows that people saw more than once because the cast improvised differently each night.

It seats 1,557 on three levels and is protected at the higher grade. A multi-million-pound restoration by Aedas Arts Team finished in 2017 and Hamilton opened in the restored house that December.
