Grand Theatre London
There’s no business like show business and no theatre quite like Grand Theatre London. This professional theatre company puts on multiple shows every year from September to May, along with a selection of theatrical events like behind-the-scenes, backstage tours and meet-and-greets with artists.
Initially, the Grand was an opera house that staged road shows and vaudeville acts. Over the years, it has gone on to host famous artists such as Brent Carver, Louise Pitre, Jessica Tandy and William Hutt. Today, it is the ideal destination for art and entertainment in London.
