Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre
Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre is a state-of-the-art cultural destination seating up to 2,000 guests. Located within the former Fountain Studios, famous for hosting live shows such as the X Factor and Pop Idol.

Wembley Park Theatre was built in 2019 on the site of the former television studio, Fountain Studios. The theatre opened with a varied programme of live events, including Dinosaur World Live and War Horse. In August 2020 Wembley Park Theatre was the first venue in the UK to host an indoor musical theatre performance after theatres were forced to close their doors due to the Coronavirus pandemic with a socially-distanced production of the new musical Sleepless: A Musical Romance, based on the popular film Sleepless in Seattle. Wembley Park Theatre is now home to a brand-new version of the 1984 musical Starlight Express with director Luke Sheppard bringing a fresh take on the show, with original choreographer Arlene Phillips assisting as a creative dramaturg.
Wembley Park Theatre is owned by Troubadour Theatres, which was founded in 2009 and has operated 8 commercial theatres, including the King's Cross Theatre, White City Theatre and pop-up spaces in Waterloo Station and Kensington Gardens. The theatre is one of many new developments in the Wembley Park area, which is one of the fastest-growing areas of London. The area is home to the iconic Wembley Stadium and SSE Arena, as well as the London Designer Outlet, new retail districts and offices, as well as the largest Boxpark to date with over 20 street food vendors, all under one roof. Everything from poké, burritos, pizza, and kebabs to burgers, Thai noodles, bubble tea, and churros. You’ll find pretty much everything on site, including a nice big bar, a cloakroom, and loads of loos.
Seating
Wembley Park Theatre is a contemporary venue with a flexible auditorium of stadium-style seating. That’s rare for a London theatre, and it means that it can accommodate transferring shows which need a flexible layout, rather than just proscenium arch, and it can also give directors of new productions the freedom to explore. For Starlight Express the best seats for complete immersion in the story are in the First Class Carriages. Cheap tickets at Wembley Park Theatre are at the back and sides of the “Locomotive section”.
Facilities
The venue is fully air-conditioned with a cloakroom. There’s a bar and a restaurant within the actual theatre space, Studio Five, offering a modern British menu with simple, bold dishes in a relaxed, modern atmosphere.
Access
To provide the best possible service, Wembley Park Theatre have partnered with Nimbus Disability and The Access Card; a universal way of communicating access requirements as a disabled person. There is step-free access into Wembley Park Theatre and the ground floor level of the auditorium is fully accessible. The foyer, bar, toilets and auditorium are also accessible for wheelchair patrons. There are accessible toilets located at the rear of the foyer, consisting of two cubicles.
