Music Hall
Built in 1901, the Hackney Empire with its electric lights, central heating and in-built projection box was a technological wonder of its time. When the theatre opened under the ownership of Oswald Stoll (later of Stoll Moss fame) it attracted acts from all over the world. Chaplin appeared a number of times before decamping to America to gain fame in Hollywood, and Stan Laurel perfected his act upon these boards. But undoubtedly the most important star to appear in this hey-day of music hall before the First World War was Marie Lloyd, who lived on Graham Road, just by the theatre. Lloyd’s act consciously shocked and challenged her audiences. This ‘Queen of the Halls’ lent her support to an artists’ strike in 1907 which led to the formation of the Variety Artists’ Association, now part of the actors’ union Equity.
Now renovated and restored www.hackneyempire.co.uk/

The Historic Hippodrome is Britain's only surviving TOTAL Circus Building, built in 1903 by the legendary Circus showman George Gilbert. Throughout the century the intimate arena has played host to an incredible variety of entertainment, from amazing water spectacles and stage variety shows to cinema and cine variety and even wartime use as a military practice shooting range! - Apart from always presenting the very best In Circus, Lloyd George held political rallies here - Lily Langtry sang, Little Titch clowned, Max Miller joked, Houdini escaped. The world's finest clowns and circus personalities performed - ALL experience the Hippodrome's unique atmosphere. Its likely that even Charlie Chaplin performed here as a child actor before finding Fame in America!
For eight weeks each summer the Hippodrome becomes a focus for worldwide circus attention, as artists from around the globe converge in town to appear in Jack and Peter Jay's new Circus production. This year marks the Jay's 27th year as owners, producers and directors of the circus and still presenting the unique water feature with synchronised swimmers, one of 4 still operating in the entire world, the others being in Moscow, Blackpool and the newest show in Las Vegas!
The Unique Hippodrome, known as East Anglia's mini Albert Hall stages many other shows during the year from Rock 'N' Roll, Pop concerts to large scale Opera, from wrestling to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and is available throughout the year for promoters, producers, Filmmakers, photographers and video makers for location shoots.
