A perfect example of how judicious planning can achieve an illusion of space on a very restricted site / One of the finest theatre interiors in London
Wyndham’s Theatre is situated on the western edge of Covent Garden, close to the junction of Charing Cross Road with Cranbourne Street, amid a mass of street furniture. The building occupies an island site, which prior to their demolition in 1897 supported some dozen small units, including a pub. It Is divided from Its neighbours by St Martin’s Court, a narrow pedestrian way paved with York stone, which precludes any possible expansion beyond its existing yellow stock-brick outer walls. To Its north a dull stone block of the 1930s gives access to Leicester Square underground station, and a plaque records the birth here in 1859 of Sidney Webb, the Fabian socialist and gradualist social reformer. In an area once famous for 'horsy and fighting men’, the neighbouring Round Table pub Is said to have housed American John C. Heenan before his championship fight with Englishman Tom Sayers at the end of the 18th century.
Sir Charles Wyndham was born In Liverpool in 1837 and christened Charles Culverwell. The son of a surgeon, he studied medicine In London and Dublin, qualifying In 1858, but at the same time and - against his father’s wishes - he harboured a burning desire to become an actor. In 1862 Culverweil joined the federal army to serve as a surgeon in the American Civil War, taking leave from his duties during the winter months to appear on the New York stage. In 1865 he returned home to pursue a theatrical career, changing his name to Wyndham along the way. In 1875 he became actor-manager at the Criterion Theatre, and It was here that he met the 23-year-old actress Mary Moore, already married to playwright James Albery (who died of cirrhosis of the liver In 1889) and a mother of three children. Beautiful and clever, Mary became Wyndham’s leading lady and business partner, and his wife only three years before his death In 1919. By that time they owned three West End theatres, the Criterion, Wyndham’s and the New (now the Noël Coward Theatre) In St Martin's Lane; and Charles Wyndham had become Sir Charles, having been knighted for services to the theatre In 1902, an accolade that ensured his acceptance Into the polite society of Edwardian England.
Having found success on the London stage by the late 1890s, Wyndham turned to pursue his longstanding ambition to establish his own theatre. The buildings on the Charing Cross Road site were in a state of decay, and ripe for redevelopment. A Mr Pyke had also noted the island’s potential, but the Marquess of Salisbury, upon whose land the buildings stood, so admired Wyndham as an actor that this opposition was summarily despatched, and the site was Wyndham’s - provided he could raise the purchase price and subsequent building costs. He was not a wealthy man, and It was Mary Moore who rescued a potentially difficult situation, raising the money through her society connections.
To design his theatre, Charles Wyndham commissioned the 34-year-old W. G. R. Sprague, an admirer of the French and Italian Renaissance. In Wyndham’s - one of eight theatres that Sprague had on his drawing board In 1899 - he produced the epitome of European civic theatre architecture overlaid with an English sense of good breeding and quiet confidence. Faced In Portland stone, the free classical façade of two and three storeys Is three major bays wide. The central bay has a balustrade loggia at first-floor level, and a crowning pediment containing a bust of Shakespeare flanked by muses and cherubs. The foyer entrance is to the left of the façade, leading through enriched doors to a very pretty circular blue and gold foyer with a small but attractive staircase, which, In turn, gives way to one of London's most beautiful and little-altered auditoria. Elegant and sophisticated, It is decorated In a Louis XVI style, retaining the original turquoise blue and cream colour scheme described in The Era of November 1899, with painted panels of flowers and leaves on the royal- circle front, and lion-head masks and medallions, in painted panel, on the grand-circle front. The steeply raked balcony rises up from the rear of the grand circle. The richly gilded architectural proscenium is dominated by three-dimensional allegorical figures and flanked by three tiers of bow- fronted boxes between Corinthian pilasters. The circular celling comprises four very fine painted panels after François Boucher, an 18th-century painter of pastorals.
Although little survives of the original timber sub¬stage machinery, the fly-floors were fully hemp- worked until 2008. While this was a rare and rewarding sight, it Imposed limitations on the productions that could be brought into the theatre as well as creating health and safety issues.
The theatre opened with David Garrick in a play by T. W. Robertson, and has since staged many successes, including J. M. Barrie’s Dear Brutus (1917), Edgar Wallace’s The Ringer (1926) and, after the Second World War, Quiet Weekend, which ran for 1,059 performances. More recent successes include The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1966) Godspeii (1972) and Art (1996).

Infos complémentaires:
The Stalls section is priced at one level with only the two back rows offering any form of discount. The section is divided by a half aisle, and the seats fan out from the stage with shorter rows leading to longer rows towards the back. All seats fall into the proscenium giving a good overall view of the stage. Seats are raked gently from the first couple of rows, and this becomes more severe from row H. Seats in the first three rows feel very close to the stage, and depending on the performance can be restricted. The final two rows of the stalls are divided by an aisle, and are priced a level below as the top of the stage is obstructed. For most performance this is not too much of an issue.
The overhang begins around row J, with Rows M and back suffering from the level above. Best value seats are therefore from row E - L, as central as possible. The stalls are 18 steps below street level.
The Dress Circle once again is all priced at one level, despite a mixed degree of seating views. Known as the Royal Circle in this theatre, the section is undivided and is wide with six rows running up to thirty seats. The front rows curve around the balcony, and as the section is particularly shallow, some seats towards the ends of each row offer slightly side on views. The section is all raked throughout although legroom is not brilliant compared to other venues. From row D-F the views are not as good as elsewhere in the house at the same price. The overhang of the Grand Circle begins to effect the view from rows E and F, with row G set behind the rest of the seats.
Boxes on this level do not provide good value for money, as a lot of the stage can be lost. The chairs are free standing, so you may be able to move around the get the best view.
Legroom in the Upper Circle isn't fantastic, and due to the shape of the section it can feel uncomfortable. Prices continue to get cheaper towards the back of the section, but seats at the end of each row should be avoided or chosen only when discounted. The four rows wrap around the balcony with some seats giving a side on view of the stage. Seats do feel far away from the stage, and can be affected by lighting equipment so the front row can sometimes have sight problems. The best seats are towards the centre of rows B and C, and you should try to sit as close to here as possible. The first and last seats of each row are often counted as 'restricted view' because of the curve of the balcony.
The balcony is divided into two sections, right and left. Seats are usually all priced the same, and those towards the centre offer the best value. A general safety rail runs along the balcony and can affect the view for shorter audience members, but the safety rails in front of rows B and D do not affect the view. Although you feel close to the celing of the theatre and seem very far from the action the overall view is pretty clear. Those looking for a bargain will be able to see the action, although feel far away.

Commentaire: British Comedy Award winner Bill has enjoyed success on the live stage for many years. In 2001 he took his show Bewilderness to New York for an eight week run at the Westbeth Theatre. The New York Times wrote of him, "Bill is an unalloyed pleasure, a treat for the funny bone, the brain and the ear" and The Telegraph pronounced him "a hobbit with a wicked sense of humour". In 2004 he performed his show Part Troll at over fifty venues around the UK, culminating in an extended run at London's Wyndhams Theatre. In 2007 he embarked on a sold-out UK arena tour with his audio-visual, comedic extravaganza, Tinselworm. He took the show down under during the summer of 2008, touring Australia and New Zealand, before returning to London in December 2008 for a ten week run of the show at The Gielgud Theatre. The summer of 2009 saw Bill tour the UK once again with his live show, Bill Bailey Live. Last autumn, following his performances at London's Royal Albert Hall and the resulting critically acclaimed BBC2 television broadcast, Bill enjoyed a very successful UK tour of his musical comedy extravaganza, Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra. Performing alongside some of the UK's finest orchestras, the show provided fans with the opportunity to see Bill's surreal comic and musical imagination at its best and was described by The Telegraph as "a glorious achievement," The Guardian as "sublime hilarity" and Stephen Fry as "wonderfully enjoyable... like driving a Rolls-Royce off-road." Larks in Transit is a compendium of travellers' tales and the general shenanigans of twenty years as a travelling comedian. With musical virtuosity, surreal tangents and trademark intelligence, he tackles politics, philosophy, the pursuit of happiness, death metal, ringtones... and an excruciating encounter with Paul McCartney. Two decades of life as a comic filtered through what the Daily Telegraph calls 'the brainiest comic of his generation'.. (plus)

Commentaire: This show was inspired by the unexpectedly huge sales of a CD issued by Universal Music, aimed at the nostalgia market. The first “Dreamboats and Petticoats” CD sold over two million copies and led to the creation of a stage show which began a five month UK tour in Bromley in February 2009. The success of the tour led to its West End debut, as a seven-week filler. After a three month gap, the show was re-created at the Playhouse Theatre in January 2010 and is still running at the start of 2012. At the same time a second UK tour played throughout 2010, much of 2011 and is planned to run through 2012. (plus)

Commentaire: Fifteen years after its coolly received National Theatre premiere, this fringe production had almost all the critics reaching for their superlatives. With a small cast, a five-piece band and its ambitious production techniques and computer graphics, this show was visually and technically breathtaking. And with the brilliant central performances from Daniel Evans, Anna Jane Casey and Gay Soper it was hailed as unforgettable, with several critics deciding it was a Sondheim masterpiece.
Its major achievement seems to be welding the two separate acts together – earlier critics had claimed this was two separate shows, with no real link between the 1880s Paris of Seurat and the 1980s USA of his (fictional) grandson. The production transferred to Wyndhams Theatre in May 2006 and ran until September 2nd . It had the same principal cast, except Jenna Russell replaced Anna Jane Casey who was unavailable. It won five Olivier Awards, including Outstanding Musical Production, Best Actor in a Musical and Best Actress in a Musical. The production was re-created for a limited engagement on Broadway between January and June 2008, again with Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell. (plus)

Commentaire: This was a re-written and enlarged version of the show which had first been performed at the Jermyn Street Theatre in November 2001, and had been touring at various points throughout 2002. It had played a week at the Greenwich Theatre in May 2002 but now had the opportunity to come into the West End. Wyndham’s Theatre was suddenly empty due to the collapse of Michael Barrymore’s come-back show and this show was available to fill the gap. It was a strictly limited two week run. There was a certain nostalgia and theatrical history about this performance - Anne Rogers had first come to stardom exactly fifty years earlier at this very theatre (in “The Boy Friend”) (plus)

Commentaire: Apart from Lewis Fiander as Puccini, all the other performers played several roles each and also sang a number of arias accompanied by a seven piece orchestra. They were actors, not opera singers, and the end results were a little worrying to most critics. No one was quite sure at whom this show was aimed: opera enthusiasts hated what was being done to the music, non-opera buffs resented the story being interrupted with disconnected arias. It closed within a month. (plus)

Commentaire: With exactly the same theme as the contemporary “Jesus Christ Superstar”, this show aimed at absolute simplicity and a “Hippie”-feel as opposed to the heavy rock of JCS. Both achieved great success, but surprisingly “Godspell” attracted very little religious opposition whereas JCS received howls of protest. The show had transferred from the Roundhouse. (plus)
