The Savoy Theatre history dates back to 1881 when it opened its doors on 10 October. Designed by C I Phipps and decorated by Collinson & Locke, the most beautifully fitted theatre in Europe opened its doors with a transfer from the Opera Comique of Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera Patience.
Built at the instigation of Impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte, who wanted his own theatre in order to stage the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, the Savoy Theatre became famous as the first public building in the world to be lit by incandescent electric lights.
The Savoy Theatre is owned and operated by ATG Entertainment (ATG), which proudly offers the best live entertainment around the world. The theatre has been part of ATG since 2004 and has since become home to Pretty Woman – The Musical until its closure in June 2023. Following Pretty Woman were Ivo van Hove‘s play A Little Life, children’s show Ministry Of Science LIVE – Science Saved The World!, Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s Sunset Boulevard, and Plaza Suite starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Mean Girls and Burlesque. Now the Savoy Theatre is home to the eagerly anticipated production of Paddington The Musical.
