Abstract

The Apollo Victoria Theatre is an architecturally outstanding work of its time. With a seating capacity of 2572, it has been in recent years one of the most successful musical houses in the West End of London, but its original architectural and decorative character had become severely eroded over the years. This paper describes how conditions peculiar to theatre work dictated that major restoration works, from confirmation of instructions, through detailed planning to execution, had to be completed within a rigidly defined period of 16 weeks, allowing no scope for overruns or failure to deliver.
