About The London Palladium:
In 1910 The London Palladium was built by Walter Gibbons to compete with Edward Moss's London Hippodrome and Oswald Stoll's London Coliseum. So it was only natural to employ the same architect, Frank Matcham. Built on a former ice rink, it featured a revolving stage and telephones in the boxes so that audience members might call each other.
During the second World War in 1941, the theatre was hit by a German parachute mine directly over the stage area. It never detonated, however, thanks to the diligence of the Bomb Disposal Unit but the entire area was immediately evacuated.
Later in 1945, the manager of the London Palladium made a controversial change in direction owing to his policy of recruiting Hollywood stars. The venue has become iconic over the years for hosting the biggest names in entertainment from the Beatles to Judy Garland, Madonna and Elton John to name a mere handful.
The Palladium remains one of the biggest venues in London seeing sell out West End Musicals, one of concerts, stand up comedy and of course, their annual pantomime
