Theatre Shows

Every night is show night in Southend, where two outstanding theatres, the Cliffs Pavilion and the Palace Theatre, present a packed programme of acclaimed national and international productions. 


Whether you're looking for the spectacle of a West End musical, live music, comedy or a captivating play, there's always something to enjoy. 


Make an evening of it at the Cliffs Pavilion, with dinner and drinks overlooking the Estuary as the sun sets, or discover the charm and character of the historic Palace Theatre in the heart of Westcliff.
