Andrew’s Tour of the London Palladium

[@FatNorthernBigot]

His affection for the Palladium is very real.

[@robinsings]

[@suave-rider]

Although he owns it, he certainly views himself as just one of many custodians with an important role to ensure the theatre is well used, and well maintained.

[@travisgrant5608]

Stunningly gorgeous theater! There is absolutely NOTHING like LIVE theater performances! Sir Andrew is a master at bringing astounding performances to the stage through his incredibly amazing talent. 👍💞

[@ninamodi15]

A very interesting and educational tour. Your love for the theatre shines through. Hope your wonderful plays are performed in this magnificent theatre in the not too distant future.

[@e.1914]

This video gives me so much hope and happiness for the reopening of theatre later this year, thank you!

[@TRIXNGLEYT]

Andrew, you are an absolute inspiration to millions of people

[@xavierwatson5438]

Thank you Sir Lloyd Webber wishing you good health and the most smashing success for Cinderella Please bring it to North America somehow or on DVD so we can all see it in Canada! Thank you for fostering the love of Musicals and live theatre

[@shookspearedcinnamon]

Thank you so much for delivering insight into this absolute magnificent building! Just hearing you talk about it with so much passion made me smile and showed me once again why I love theatre so much!! 🥰✨

[@PatrickKCompton]

This made me tear up! Love you Sir. Andrew, and thank you for all you do to save the arts! :)

My first experience of the theatre was at the Alhambra. Jack and the beanstalk. Mid to late 50s. The impression of the theatre 🎭 the safety curtain. The opening of the curtains. The orchestra playing in the pit. Has stayed with me. Is the atmosphere of the inside of the theatre. Wonderful. I don't like going to theatres where there is no stage or curtains or a safety curtain it's the atmosphere. Although for the first time I went to the royal Albert hall to see sunset boulevard on stage. That was amazing. I just love the interiors of old theatres. I thank you for posting this and showing us around a wonderful theatre.

[@hsimpson6581]

I did not know Andrew Lloyd Webber was the owner of the Palladium. There is no better person He knows what's best for it and will never hurt it.

[@brianaustin5467]

He has 7 theatres in the West End.

[@alexanderkwon8502]

Maybe he will look after it just how he voted to cut school meals for poor children as well as take away tax credits from the poor

[@EKATERINA_ELLO]

Hello, everybody! Let me share of «Pie Jesu» at the Concert for Moscow Birthday near The Bolshoi. Let’s support, please, the youngest conductor of symphonic orchestra (20 y.o.) who used to be that soloist 10 years ago. There're a lot of videos of concerts from Tchaikovsky Conservatory on his KZbin channel. Enjoy it please kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYe4Y2pujNiZZ9U and here's with Prima of Bolshoi Venera Gimadieva kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKjEqaOMeLacl80

[@ingmarbeldman]

@@alexanderkwon8502 what is that about??😟 you have a source for me Alex. I have always been a big fan of this man. Thanks.

[@ajparadise6649]

This is so cool! I love how much Andrew loves the theatre, and it was so much fun to learn stuff about it.

[@ProfessorTimWilson]

I understand this entirely. I saw Tommy Steele here in 1969 so I was also 8- It is the most magical theatre and I love being in the audience, and on the few occasions I have got backstage, and particularly up into the fly tower, I was entranced. It is compact, magestic and it embraces both performer and audiencein equal measure. Also, I love the great velvet curtains and feel a little cheated when I go to a show and they have been removed!

[@foreignparticle1320]

ALW - your shows were the gateway drug for my love of the theatre and of theatres; thus your effect on my life has been utterly profound, birthing both my passion and my career. And I know there are a myriad others similarly impacted. Thank you.

[@ste9071]

Imagine going to the LP as a child, sat there up in the circle watching your favourite act of said time, not knowing that one day you’ll be the owner of that theatre. There is something quite nostalgic and magical about that! I have a hunch, the palladium is in very capable hands. Kudos Sir Andrew, you’re doing a grand job old chap ❤️

[@simonwood1461]

Thank you, Sir Andrew. I worked at the London Palladium from 1969 to 1976. Please look after this wonderful building.

[@aprilburch6911]

Thanks for the tour Andrew! It is very beautiful!

[@repboy1]

Thank you for investing in all these Theaters . I went to see the Wizard of Oz there . Loved it

[@agnespoison]

Thank you for this beautiful journey.

[@wendyhayne930]

Thankyou Andrew for this lovely video, I never tire of anything you show us. I didnt know you own the London Palladium and the last time I went there was was to see Dr Dolittle with Michael ball as Dr dolittle . So quite while ago. Iam really grateful we have someone like Andrew preserving the theatre for future generations

[@singbike5832]

Gorgeous theater! Could you do more of these? I've always been interested in theater architecture and behind the scenes stuff.

[@IanRob2011]

Thanks for the tour. Love learning about this theater

[@jayden.gazelle.theatre9060]

I LOVE THIS ANDREW AND I LIVE YOUU

[@lawynfred]

I love this so much! Thank you for taking care of it. I can't wait to be back there again. There is nothing like standing on a stage like that, no matter who you are! When an audience member gets a chance to stand on the stage and see the backstage and all that goes on, it can really transform the experience! Especially for those new to the theatre. Love! Love! Love!

[@Calcy2012]

Thank you Sir

[@robnnorthaustin]

Wow such beauty

[@kathsinden5395]

Utterly beautiful! Looking so forward to my first visit in just a few weeks! Englebert Humperdinck ❤️

[@JTonson]

Thank you Andrew, this is wonderful.

[@Logans3Run]

For years we watched the Royal Variety entertainment from that fantastic theatre and definitely one of the greats as a music venue, for all genres.

[@robinsings]

Cool! wow, the stage view is breathtaking.. what a dream to sing there. I hope you not depressed but encouraged. The show MUST go on.

[@joannehickok4653]

I love you. Thank you for the tour. Please stay safe.

[@michellecleverley6293]

Love this video

[@alisonfairbank9484]

I've never been in an empty theatre but I have been in a church and have experienced the feeling that Andrew mentioned. I believe that it is the positive energy that the building has absorbed throughout the years. I always feel calm in church. As Andrew said everything he does at the Palladium is for the generations that follow.

[@esfacundocano]

I dont understand why this doesn't have more views

[@alexcronin7664]

I miss theatre so much and I cannot wait to go back and see another musical again

[@susannorth138]

You are the best!!!

[@Deancolby]

Thank You- well said Sir-I recall seeing Lulu in Peter Pan, with Ron Moody at the Palladium-love this theatre!

[@chloem665]

I’ve danced on that stage with my dance school! The palladium is such a beautiful beautiful theatre and backstage is just magical!

[@alexalex13131]

ALW: An artist to the core.

[@nikyboyable]

Incredible Andrew, hope to visit it one day ❤

[@lLadyAszneth]

WOW! Wish I could've seen Michael either in The Wizard of Oz, (because I am SO close to this take having read the first book and watches the film over 2300x) there at the Palladium or especially in BARNUM because I've been in love with the circus all my life and nearly ran away with the Barnum and Bailey Circus the last time they came through in '78 and I was 8 yrs old. I WEEP knowing I was never ans will never get to see Michael Crawford live! Hell, just to meet him would be something. Thanks for this tour Andrew. And you mentioned something, in one of your other videos; about inviting me to chat in Hangouts since you enjoy interacting with fans. If so, please let me know and thank you for this. 🙂👍

[@christoftschanz4299]

I really hope I will habe the possibility soon to see it again. Greetings from Switzerland

[@fredo1070]

That was lovely.

[@mattdeans9873]

I'm with H. I had no idea ALW owned it. I started performing at 12 years old. I'm an old retired man now but from that young age to the present day, when I go into a live theatre (not a movie theater), there is a palpable feeling of being in a sacred space of some sort.

[@jameswilson3370]

Damn. Beautiful.

[@meinkanal7368]

a beautiful view!

[@singingtutorpro2181]

I love him a little more each time I see him interviewed.

[@DanielAmity]

Wonderful theatre. Let’s hope we get to perform on it again very soon.

[@StarsLandingMrPickles]

I could listen to him talk about this building all day, I would actually sit down and take notes the way he talks in honestly making me wish this was 4 hours long and not 9 minutes *sobs*

[@Verbsdescribeus]

So blessed I attended 2 of his musicals 2 seasons ago :)

[@acey850]

Came for the pronunciation of the theatre’s name. Stayed for the enthusiastic history lesson.

[@julietamalo6881]

Amazing.

[@007spudman]

Came here to see Britain's got talent auditions. Such a nice venue

[@michael.miller7011]

Also they perform for the London palladium is sir Bruce Forsyth and the ashes of Bruce Forsyth are beneath the stage

[@franktranks9445]

LEGEND

[@karlperriment7763]

Andrew , thank u .........

[@mi2882]

Maravilhoso 🌹

[@lisam8402]

My uncle played there in his group “The Goofers” must have been around 1955 or so.

[@avehaddon3211]

The last time I was at The Palladium was the Matinee of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and we were informed of the Queen Mother's Passing Away

[@roberthudson6284]

When is the sequel to Evita coming? We've been waiting 40 years for Rubbery Robbery.

[@patenvanpaten]

¡Precioso!

[@iluminadaubierna6082]

Andrew, cual fue el motivo por el que no diste los permisos para que Camilo Sesto, representara en España, su traducción de EL FANTASMA DE LA ÓPERA??? Por lo demás, gracias por tu Obra Artística, es un gran Tesoro que el mundo puede disfrutar.

[@keenosaurus8066]

Fun fact: This theater was used for Britian's Got Talent

[@007spudman]

The Auditions are held in the Paladium and the Lowry in Manchester. The live shows are at the Eventim Hammersmith Apollo.

[@benfenwick4856]

The scared ground of theatre

[@rob1134]

I can tell Sir Andrew is quite fed up that these theatres are empty and not being used. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long before some normality and the shows go on.
