If you’d taken a stroll down The Strand at any point over the last 200 years, you would have found a playhouse on the site where the Adelphi now sits. Having celebrated its bicentenary in 2006, the current theatre is actually the fourth venue here on the Strand – and it’s changed names no fewer than seven times.
The Adelphi Theatre is co-owned with the Nederlander Group. Throughout its fascinating 200-year history, the theatre’s gorgeous art deco interiors have hosted Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard, the long-anticipated Phantom-sequel Love Never Dies, the record-breaking One Man Two Guvnors, and the gloriously glam-drag Kinky Boots. The Adelphi Theatre is now home to Sara Bareilles‘ hit Broadway musical Waitress.
