Designed by W. Lewis in 1930, Apollo Victoria Theatre originally opened as a cinema to cater to movie lovers. It was converted into a theatre in the late 1970s. After several renovations, this theatre now boasts of a capacity of 1,524 (+50 standing). Plays, musicals and comedies are staged here. So far, the arena has witnessed 7,406 performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Starlight Express alone! Since 2002, it has been home to Bollywood's Bombay Dreams. Wheelchair spaces are available in the auditorium, but have to be booked well in advance. If you get hungry after a show, just step out and you will find scores of quaint eating joints close by. So, plan a night out with your friends and grab the best of what the city has to offer.
