Open Air Theatre Regent's Park
 Open Air Theatre Regent's Park ... one of the largest theatre auditoriums in London. Over 120,000 people visit each year during the 15 week summer season. The 2007 summer season will include Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Lady Be Good, Fantastic Mr Fox and The Boy Friend. Although we have just six permanent members of staff, in the summer we require nearly 100 personnel and have a turnover of around £2 million. Famous for our Shakespeare performances, A Midsummer Night’s Dream remains a signature piece in the repertoire, each year we also produce a musical and a children’s play. We have received over twenty Olivier nominations in the last ten years.Newest Review: ... to be hurried. * What’s On * The repertoire at the Open Air Theatre tends to follow a set pattern; usually, they have four main productions.

Great venue 
Prices for drinks etc Brilliant, great music, unforgettable Didn't want it to end! Great idea, technically very well done The story is dull and lacks imaginationWest End Nights Broadway Lights
