The Adelphi Theatre is a 1500-seat theatre in the
West End of London.
It was founded in 1806 as the Sans Pareil ("Without Compare"). In 1819 it took
on its present name, which came from the name of a block of 24 unified
neoclassical terrace houses occupying the land between The Strand and the River
Thames which had been built by the Adam brothers (Greek: adelphoi, "brothers").
The present building is the fourth on the site.
The 1998 video of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats was recorded at the
theatre.
Since 1997 the venue has been the setting for the popular musical Chicago. This
production will vacate the theatre on 22 April 2006, transferring to the
Cambridge, to make way for Michael Grandage's new production of Lloyd Webber's
Evita.
