The Old Vic Theatre

The Old Vic Theatre in London (not to be confused with the Bristol Old Vic theatre/drama school) is a medium-sized theater which holds 1,067 people and offers four bars. True to its name, the Old Vic was built nearly 200 years ago and was designed by Rudolph Cabanel. The theater has a resident theater company that puts on a range of productions in addition to the main West-End productions staged here, although shows tend to be put on quite sporadically - sometimes nothing is showing at all. It's very popular with tourists and theater goers, and the foyer is always busy.
