THE ARTS AT MARBLE ARCH
POWERED BY TODAYTIX
Producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian
Hook are to open The Arts at Marble
Arch powered by TodayTix, a brand-new
594-seat theatre venue set beside the
world-famous Marble Arch, between
Oxford Street, Hyde Park and the West
End.
HH Productions have also developed
strategic partnerships with TodayTix and
Miroma Leisure, both of whom will play
integral roles in the future success and
operation of the venue.
TodayTix will provide the box office
and premium customer ticketing
experience for the venue, alongside
integrated marketing technology
designed to enhance customer
relationship management and audience
communications.
Miroma Leisure joins the project as
food and beverage consultants, with
menu development and customer
experience at the heart of their
partnership with the venue.
Created by HH Productions, The Arts
at Marble Arch is a fully accessible,
594-seat, air-conditioned theatre
featuring a 17-metre-wide stage, two
bars and a 14-seat hospitality box. The
venue has been designed with
sustainability at its core and is currently
scheduled to occupy the Marble Arch
site until 2028. Using bespoke modular
construction and innovative design, the
theatre is fully portable and can be
reconstructed in future locations, with an
anticipated lifespan of more than 20
years. The structure has been designed
to offer a long-term, sustainable model
for commercial theatre presentation in
high-footfall locations.
Powered by TodayTix, the new venue
has been conceived as a major
destination for commercial entertainment
in central London, bringing ambitious
cultural programming to one of the
capital’s most prominent public spaces.
Brian Fenty, CEO of TodayTix Group
adds: ‘London continues to set the pace
for live entertainment globally, and we
see The Arts at Marble Arch powered by
TodayTix as an important investment in
its future. It’s an opportunity to support
bold programming, reach new
audiences, and deepen the connection
between fans and live theatre.’
The programme will begin this
summer with a season of Be Like Blippi!,
from 5 – 23 August, before welcoming
the West End premiere of Christina
Aguilera’s Burlesque the Musical from
12 September, playing until 31 January.
As the historic Arts Theatre reaches
its centenary year and prepares for major
redevelopment works at its original
home on Great Newport Street, The Arts
at Marble Arch will continue its legacy of
presenting ambitious commercial
entertainment in the heart of London.
