9.The Lyceum TheatreDavid Bateman is a huge fan of this theatre."You cannot find a theatre with a more varied past,"he argues.At first a place for musicals,the Lyceum soon began to host a lot of different events.Then there were more changes and the theatre was used as a music hall before once again becoming a theatre.And it was during this period,in 1934,that Queen Elizabeth II saw her very first pantomime (童话剧) here!
The London Palladium
Felix Knight would be surprised if you hadn't heard of this very famous theatre in the West End.In the 1950s,millions of viewers across Britain would watch Saturday Night at the Palladium,a weekly variety show (杂耍表演) televised live from the theatre.Nowadays,the theatre hosts musicals such as The Sound of Music,but it also hosts a number of important events such as the British film awards in 2007.
The Globe Theatre
"People are likely to overlook the Globe Theatre because it's not in the West End,"says Jane Campbell.The theatre is a copy of the Elizabethan playhouse that was built in 1599and where Shakespeare's plays were written and performed.Every last inch of the rebuilt Globe is authentic (逼真的),even the fact that it is an open-air theatre.
The Piccadilly Theatre
For Mariella Clark,this theatre is her number one choice.Opened in 1928,it may not be the oldest theatre in the West End,but it is one of the biggest and has certainly made its mark---during its time as a cinema it actually showed the first talking movie ever!"I'd always thought that theatres put on plays or musicals from day one,"Mariella says,"so I was quite surprised when I first began t realise that they often have quite interesting histories."
