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
Under eight hundred seats on four tiers, which is why nobody in it is far from the stage.
West EndPlayhousesWorth it for the building
The actor-manager Charles Wyndham wanted a theatre of his own and got one on the strength of a patron's admiration and his friends' money; W. G. R. Sprague built it and the Prince of Wales came to the opening on 16 November 1899. It holds 799 across four levels, which is small for a West End house and stacked steeply, so the gallery is close rather than distant.
It is protected at the higher grade and it takes plays rather than musicals - the sort of West End run that exists because one performance is worth crossing London for. The Salisbury estate still owns it.
