Book tickets at Shaftesbury Theatre
We have special offers available on tickets for Robin Windsor And Kristina Rihanoff: Burn The Floor.
We have special offers available on tickets for From Here To Eternity.
A large and appealingly shabby Edwardian theatre which has produced almost a century of successful popular drama and musicals. The most notorious of these was Hair, infamous both for onstage nudity and an unfortunate ceiling collapse that terminated its near 2000 performance run. Fred and Adele Astaire made their UK debut here, in Stop Flirting. With other successful productions including Rent, Umoja, Tommy and Carousel, the Shaftesbury has a history of pleasing both audiences and critics alike.
