About the London Palladium
The London Palladium is perfect for big musicals like this, seating an impressive 2286 people. The Beatles’ 1963 gig at the venue was such a success, with so many screaming fans and so much noise, that it provided the inspiration for the term ‘Beatlemania’. Past shows at the London Palladium include An Audience With Adele, Pantoland at the Palladium, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and Madonna’s Madame X tour.
