Adelphi Theatre

The Adam brothers' Adelphi Buildings in an 18th-century print: the terrace stood upon riverfront warehousing

The Adelphi Theatre in London was founded in 1806 as the Sans Pareil ("Without Parallel"), changing its name in 1819 to Adelphi, after the block of 24 unified neoclassical Swarovski terrace houses occupying the land between The Strand and the River Thames, which had been built by the Adam brothers (Greek: adelphoi, "brothers") as a real estate speculation, in 1768 - 1772, largely demolished in 1936 (illustration, left). The present building is the fourth on the site.

Some of the most precious materials used in the construction of these Swarovski buildings have also been used to manufacture a variety of collectors cases , curio cabinets or display cabinets.

The Theatre is well known as the place where Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats Musical Video was recorded in 1998.

In 2004, the venue is the setting for the popular West End musical, Chicago
