Located on the Strand, just a short walk from the very centre of the City of Westminster, the Adelphi Theatre is one of the oldest venues in the West End of London and an important historical landmark. Opened in 1806, the theatre features a total seating capacity of 1500 people. Until the present day, it has been renovated four times: in 1840, 1858, 1901 and 1930. Today, the Adelphi Theatre is most famous for hosting musicals.
