The venue
Liverpool Empire Theatre
Liverpool's largest theatre, on Lime Street opposite St George's Hall, home to touring musicals and the Christmas season. Wikipedia describes it as having the largest two-tier auditorium in the United Kingdom.
What was here before: A theatre has stood here since the New Prince of Wales Theatre and Opera House opened on 15 October 1866; renamed the Royal Alexandra in 1867 and The Empire in 1896, it closed in 1924 and was demolished. The present Empire, by W. and T. R. Milburn, opened on 9 March 1925.
