I have worked on a voluntary, casual and, more recently, part-time basis at my local theatre for ten years and at the beginning of the month, the theatre celebrated its centenary: 100 years of plays, concerts, magicians, ballets, operas, comedians, films, boxing matches, circuses and entertainment of all kinds. As part of the celebrations Illuminos created a stunning light show which was projected onto the outside of the building telling the story of the theatre's history. You can see the lion that attacked one of its trainers, the fire that ravaged the building, the ghosts that haunt backstage, the bus that was pulled through the streets by the circus strong man, and many famous faces that appeared there over the years including Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel. The live show was brilliant so I'm really glad that Illuminos have recorded it so that I can share.
Best watched in Full Screen mode (and for some reason it goes black for a couple of seconds, 3 minutes in)

This is amazing! I love the way you get to see everyone milling about before it starts. It really sets the scene
Fantastic, would love to have been there.
Didn't know you were near Crewe - Wookie used to work there many many years ago. Amazing light show, love the details - such a lot of work went into that. I'm so glad it was recorded.
