Edinburgh Playhouse
About
The Edinburgh Playhouse is the UK's largest all-seated theatre, with a capacity of over 3,000. Opened in 1929 as a super-cinema and variety theatre modeled on the Roxy in New York, it is now the premier destination in Scotland for major West End musicals and international music acts. The grand proscenium arch theatre is a central pillar of the city's entertainment district, especially during the Edinburgh International Festival. Its massive scale and historic atmosphere make it a high-energy social landmark for world-class performance.
