Anne West Biografía y Hechos
Teatros del West End es un término popular que se refiere al teatro profesional representado en grandes escenarios del «Theatreland», del barrio West End, situado en el centro de Londres, Inglaterra.[2] Junto con Broadway en Nueva York, suele considerarse que el teatro del West End representa el máximo nivel del teatro comercial en el mundo de habla inglesa. Asimismo, los espectáculos de West End son una actividad turística común en Londres.[2] En 2002, la asistencia total a los teatros del West End superó por primera vez los 12 millones; y, en junio de 2005, The Times informó que este récord podría ser superado en 2005. En 2007, la cantidad total de boletos vendidos superó los 13 millones,[3] con lo cual se estableció una nueva marca para West End. Entre los factores que explican las grandes ventas en la primera mitad de 2005 se incluyen el estreno de nuevos musicales exitosos, tales como Billy Elliot, The Producers y Mary Poppins, así como la gran cantidad de estrellas de cine que actuaron en ellos. Desde fines de los años 1990, ha habido un incremento en el número de actores de cine estadounidenses en los escenarios londinenses. Así, en 2005, incluyó la presencia de Brooke Shields, Val Kilmer, Rob Lowe, David Schwimmer y Kevin Spacey. Historia El primer teatro público de Londres, conocido simplemente como The Theatre, fue construido en 1576 en el área actualmente conocida como Shoreditch. El primer teatro de West End, conocido como el Teatro Real en la calle Bridges, fue diseñado por Thomas Killigrew y construido en el emplazamiento del actual Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Fue inaugurado el 7 de mayo de 1663 y fue destruido por un incendio nueve años después. Fue reemplazado por un nuevo edificio diseñado por Christopher Wren y renombrado Theatre Royal in Drury Lane.[4][5][6] El Sadler's Wells Theatre original abrió sus puertas en Islington el 3 de junio de 1683. Tomando su nombre del fundador Richard Sadler,[7][8] operó primero como una ópera. El Teatro Haymarket fue inaugurado el 29 de diciembre de 1720 en un sitio un poco más al norte de su emplazamiento actual, mientras que la Royal Opera House abrió sus puertas en Covent Garden el 7 de diciembre de 1732. El distrito de teatros del West End continuó expandió sus límites con la inauguración del Adelphi en The Strand el 17 de noviembre de 1806 y el Old Vic, ubicado al sur del río Támesis en Waterloo Road, el 11 de mayo de 1818. Luego, el 16 de abril de 1870, abrió el Vaudeville. El Criterion Theatre abrió en Piccadilly Circus el 21 de marzo de 1874, mientras que en 1881 se inauguraron dos teatros nuevos: el teatro Savoy en The Strand, construido por Richard D'Oyly Carte específicamente para representar óperas cómicas de Gilbert y Sullivan, abrió el 10 de octubre; y cinco días después, el Comedy Theatre se inauguró como el Royal Comedy Theatre en la calle Panton en Leicester Square. Tres años después, abrevió su nombre. En los años iniciales de los teatros del West End, empezaron sus carreras notables hombres de teatro, tales como Robert William Elliston, John Liston, Nell Gwynne, Henry Irving, John Lawrence Toole, Louie Pounds, Seymour Hicks, Ellaline Terriss y Marie Brema.
