I saw a play there a few years back. Scary.
Prayers up.

From live stream - built in 1901 refurbished in 1932.
That pic makes one think that if that whole balcony fell, there will be fatalities. Lord have mercy.

2 meter x 2 meter section fell. So maybe not the whole thing.

I always wonder why the British eschew the definite article. It's "taken to hospital" not "taken to the hospital."

A few years ago we saw “We Will Rock You” at one of the main West End theaters....but I don’t think it was the Apollo.But if the Apollo is as old and “worn” as our theater appeared to be a collapse doesn’t surprise me.But then I’m no structural engineer.
