Piccadilly Theatre

Though set back slightly from the chaotic Circus, the Piccadilly theatre is no stranger to crowds. 'Guys and Dolls' (directed by golden boy Michael Grandage of Donmar Warehouse) attracted hordes of Ewan McGregor fans in 2005 as the actor pitched up as playboy Sky, while 'Grease' in 2007 played the reality TV card by casting winners of 'Grease Is the Word', Danny Bayne and Susan McFadden, as Danny and Sandy. A more sober claim to fame: the Piccadilly operated for a short time as a cinema and was behind the screening of the first 'talkie' in Britain - Warner Brothers' 1928 film 'The Singing Fool'.
