Book Billy Elliot at The Victoria Palace Theatre on line

Billy Elliot is set against the backdrop of the 1984 Miner's Strike. The story of a young boy's passion for ballet and his struggle to fight the prejudice of those around him from stopping him doing what he loves.

The Building Design of The Victoria Palace Theatre

Frank Matcham designed the Victoria Palace as a music hall for Alfred Butt in 1911. Butt had previously bought the Royal Standard Music Hall and had this demolished.The grey marble foyer with its gold mosaic and white Sicilian marble pillars are much as they were in 1911. The outside facade, canopy and cupola have also been restored.
The auditorium holds 1550 seats. The roof in the auditorium is designed to slide open, but audiences cannot see the stars as a corrugated roof protects them from the elements.

The History of The Victoria Palace Theatre

There had been a music hall on the site of the Victoria Palace Theatre for nearly 100 years before it became a theatre in 1934.

A Statue of the famous ballet dancer Pavlova once graced the top of the theatre but it was removed for safety during the second world war and has since vanished without trace.
The first live broadcast was aired from the theatre during the 1939 of the productionThe Lambeth Walk.
Since its opening the Victoria Palace has been home to many great musicals including Me and My Girl, The Crazy Gang, Carry On London, The Buddy Holly Story and Jolson (1995-97).

Facilities at The Victoria Palace Theatre
The Victoria Palace Theatre has an infra-red system in the stalls of the auditorium, which is fully air-conditioned and can cater for wheelchair users and guide dogs.
Location of The Victoria Palace Theatre
