Theatre History

The History of The Apollo Victoria Theatre

A Grade II listed building the Apollo Victoria first opened as a cinema in 1930 and was called the New Victoria Cine-Variety Theatre. The cinema closed in 1975 reopening for live entertainment in 1981 under it's present name. The opening show was a concert fronted by the demure Shirley Bassey concert and set the theatre on a path to success.

In 1984 over 1000 seats where removed to accommodate a roller-skating track and much of the auditorium was blacked out for Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical 'Starlight Express' which ran until 2002. At the end of the season the Apollo Victoria Theatre was refurbished, the seats reinstated and its former glory restored.
