Famous old London music hall whose boards have been trodden by many legendary names. These days it shows mostly blockbuster musical productions for the masses.
The London Palladium is a Grade II* West End theatre located on Argyll Street, in the Soho district of London. The theatre was designed by Frank Matcham and opened in 1910. The auditorium holds 2,286 people. Hundreds of stars have played there, many with televised performances. Between 1955 and 1969, Sunday Night at the London Palladium was staged at the venue, produced for the ITV network. The show on 13 October 1963 included a performance by the Beatles; one newspaper's headlines in the following days coined the term "Beatlemania" to describe the hysterical interest in the band.
