Here’s a list of some West End Theatres with Air Conditioning! This week is yet another heat wave. A summer in the city during a heatwave can be unbearable but a trip to the theatre can offer an oasis. Many theatres are over 100 years old in the West End. Therefore, some venues cannot make the adaptations to install air conditioning or cooling units due to this. Don’t sweat it. Here are some theatres which can offer a more pleasant theatrical experience this week.

The Troubadour Canary Wharf

As a newer purpose built theatre, there is no surprise that this venue is air conditioned. Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre is a dynamic 1200 seat venue situated right in the heart of London’s internationally renowned financial district. This state-of-the-art venue was purpose built to host the World Premiere of the stage adaptation of The Hunger Games. The venue truly makes spectators feel a part of the action in this dynamic in the round arena, developed with blockbuster entertainment in mind.

The Hunger Games on Stage is a cinematic stage adaption of the bestselling book and movie franchise of the same name. The story follows Katniss Everdeen in a dystopian world. In Panem, each year a group of 12 – 17 year olds are forced to fight to the literal death as punishment for a rebellion against the Capitol years ago. When her little sister is chosen, she fearlessly volunteers herself as tribute. The story follows her journey as she unwittingly becomes the face of a new uprising.

Not only does this make the top on our list of Theatres with Air Conditioning but the location is nearby the newly opened Canary Wharf sea lanes. If you’re too warm after leaving the sanctuary of the theatre why not take a dip? This natural open water pool is open everyday in the summer.

Book discounted tickets here for The Hunger Games on Stage at The Troubadour Theatre Canary Wharf.

The Criterion Theatre

Also reported to have an air conditioning system, The Criterion is the home of Titanique the Musical. Titanique is the classic story of the Titanic film retold. Through the eyes of Celine Dion of course! She tells us what really happened that fateful night on board the Titanic. Naturally, the story is told alongside some of the divas biggest hits! Featuring powerhouse voices and show-stopping numbers such as My Heart Will Go On, All by Myself and To Love You More – backed by a full live band – Titanique is a one-of-a-kind theatrical voyage bursting with nostalgia, heart and campy chaos.

The Lyceum Theatre

We didn’t expect this to make our list of theatres with air conditioning due to the age of the building however here we are! Some patrons even claimed they were too cold whilst watching the show in the peak of summer. Sounds dreamy to me!

The Lyceum Theatre is the long standing home of The Lion King. As one of London’s most famous musicals, this really is a great show to see this summer, AC or no. The Lion King is based on the hit Disney film with music and lyrics from Time Rice and Elton John. The story is based on Hamlet and follows a young lion cub called Simba. When Simba is forced into exile from his kingdom by his envious uncle, he meets the hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warm-hearted warthog pal, Pumba. Soon after, Simba adopts his carefree lifestyle of “Hakuna Matata,” until he realizes his true identity and returns to claim his throne from his evil uncle.

Book your tickets now for The Lion King which is playing at The Lyceum Theatre and booking until May 2027.

The Gillian Lynne Theatre

Again, this newer theatre is a great one for air conditioning. Found in Covent Garden, this theatre is much more modern and accessible than its neighbours.

The current show playing there is My Neighbour Totoro. This play transferred to the West End last year following a sell out run at the Barbican. Based on the Studio Ghibli animated film, the story follows two sisters Mei and Satsuki who move to their curious new home in the countryside. Exploring their unfamiliar surroundings, they soon encounter a world of spirits, sprites and magical creatures. Maybe it was all a dream? Or perhaps they really are now friends with the giant, ancient protector of the forest named ‘Totoro’ and his friend the ‘Catbus’.

Avenue Q is an outrageous comedy which uses Jim Henson inspired puppets as some of their characters. The story is following Princeton, a fresh college grad who moves into the less than desirable, Avenue Q!

The Hamilton Musical is going to be one of the hottest shows this summer. Why? I hear you ask! well, that is because the legendary Leslie Odom Jr. is crossing the Atlantic to the West End.

What is Hamilton about?

Hamilton is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the very foundations of the America we know today.

The New London cast for The Play That Goes Wrong begin performances tonight! This new cast see’s the production through its 13th anniversary. Usually, the number 13 spells bad luck. However, the cast attempts for a successful show has failed for the past 12 year so maybe this will be their lucky year!

The Play That Goes Wrong is the inaugural show for Mischief Theatre. It has since spiralled into a hit and this play is now the longest running comedy play in West End Theatre History! They also have a new musical currently running in Colchester called Thespians. We are awaiting the return of the award-winning The Comedy About Spies which reopens in August at The Adelphi Theatre. Later, the West End will see the return of A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at The Wyndham’s Theatre.

This hit comedy follows the antics of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, who are trying their very best to stage a production of a 1920s murder mystery. As the show’s title might suggest, this is not as easy as it sounds with everything that can go wrong doing just that. Despite the setbacks, the actors of CPDS struggle bravely to reach the final curtain.

The new London cast for The Play That Goes Wrong includes Ruby Ablett as Annie and Matthew Spencer as Chris. Also, Raphael Bushay plays Robert with Luke Wilson as Jonathan, and Lucinda Turner as Sandra. Finally, Alex Bird plays Dennis, Joshua Lendon is Max and Kieron Michael plays Trevor.

Understudies for this cast change are Paige Round, Harry Al-Adwani, Tom Quinn, Will Bishop and Phoenix Edwards. Of course, Winston the dog still plays Winston the dog.

When scandal and a hostile press send his career into a tailspin, the young crooner fights back and stages the greatest comeback in show business history. Featuring over twenty classic hits, including That’s Life, One For My Baby and The Best Is Yet to Come, Sinatra The Musical is the most revealing portrait ever told about the legendary singer.

“We’re absolutely thrilled that the return of Avenue Q has once again struck a chord with audiences, as well as with a whole new generation of theatregoers, discovering the heart, humour and honesty of our fuzzy friends for the very first time.

“The response to the production at the Shaftesbury Theatre has been extraordinary, and we’re delighted to extend the show’s limited season. The continued success of Avenue Q is a testament to its timeless wit, unforgettable score and the way its themes still resonate so strongly today. It remains, now more than ever, a musical for our time.”
