The Vaudeville Theatre is a West End theatre on the Strand in the City of Westminster. As the name suggests the theatre held mostly vaudeville shows and musical revues in its early days. It opened in 1870 and was rebuilt twice although each new building retained elements of the previous structure. The current building opened in 1926 and the capacity is now 690 seats. Rare thunder drum and lightning sheets together with other early stage mechanisms survive in the theatre.
