Now in trouble again. There were a couple of years of very successful Bill Kenwright productions as well as other one off events, but the owner has now put in a planning application to turn it into flats. It is a large, well equipped and fully functioning theatre featuring one of the best preserved Odeon interiors in the country but it is in danger of being lost. There is a petition to Peterborough Council here https://www.change.org/p/peterborough-city-council-refuse-planning-permission-for-the-broadway-theatre-to-be-converted-to-flats-30159e54-5eb0-4fb9-bcd8-31857bcb8465?recruiter=647615636&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=share_email_responsive

Re-opening again this winter with a programme of Bill Kenwright productions. Its for a few months at first but hopefully it will be well supported.

I was about to say how refreshing this report was when I clapped eyes on the last comment – back in the balance again….

Unfortunately, this theatre opened for a mere 6 months in 2011 before closing again after it emerged that it was being run by a notorious fraudster. It is now on the market for £2.8 million. It is in very good order but whether it ever opens as a theatre again remains to be seen. http://www.theatreforsale.co.uk/?gclid=CNmzisPg8LcCFfDMtAodekUA9w
