The Shaftesbury Theatre is
located on Shaftesbury Ave in London, England. Designed
by Bertie Crewe, it opened on December 26, 1911, as the
Princes Theatre. In 1963, EMI bought the theatre and
changed its name to the Shaftesbury Theatre.
Part of the ceiling fell in on July 20, 1973, closing
the production of the musical Hair. The theatre almost
fell victim to redevelopment, but a campaign by Equity
succeded in having the theatre placed on the Statutory
List of Buildings of Special architectural or Historic
Interest. The theatre reopened with West Side Story a
year later.
Its current capacity is around 1,400.
