Tag: Gielgud Theatre

Designed by W.G.R.Sprague in 1906 and originally called the Hicks Theatre and then The Globe in 1909 before changing its name to the Gielgud Theatre in 1995, the tall, handsome wooden doors lead from the street into a cool atrium and delightful butterscotch foyer ornamented with gold mirrors.

Like its neighbours, the Apollo, Lyric and Queens theatres, which line Shaftesbury Avenue between Piccadilly Circus and Cambridge Circus, it is now owned by Delfont Mackintosh Theatres. More Information
