About the Piccadilly Theatre
The Piccadilly Theatre was built in 1928 by Bertie Crewe, who was one of the most notable theatre architects of the early 1900s, along with Edward A. Stone. Grade II listed, the building became known for its art deco design and dramatic green and silver interior.
A few months after its opening, the Piccadilly made history when it hosted the world’s first ever ‘talkie’ film. The Piccadilly then became a picture house, owned by Warner Brothers, and showed talkies for the next five years, before returning to theatre shows.
The Piccadilly endured great difficulty during the Second World War and faced multiple air raids. In 1944, it was hit by a German bomb, which resulted in closure for several months. During In the 50s, the whole building was restored to repair damage from the war.
