London Palladium was originally built to be a circus arena but was later demolished and reconstructed. The London Palladium had a grand opening in 1910 on Boxing Day, which attracted a swarm of people. Initially, the theatre was famous for presenting pantomimes and was associated with the  Royal Variety Performance, an annual charity show. The Palladium also served as a cinema for a short while. In the 1930s and 1940s, the London Palladium gained further fame through its association with the comedy group known as the Crazy Gang, famous for its revues. Over the years, it became known for its high-quality entertainment and attracted talented performers from across the globe from the world of variety shows, theatre, music and much more. In 2000, the theatre was acquired by Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group, under its LW Theatres banner.
