The Piccadilly Theatre in Rue Hamra, Beirut was a major venue for concerts, musicals and plays in Lebanon during the 1960s and the 1970s.
[1] Though it had a small number of seats (nearly 700), the Piccadilly was considered one of the most significant theatres in Lebanon, and the Middle East.
The theatre closed down in the mid 1980s, soon after the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War which lasted from 1975 until 1990.
In July 2022, it was announced that Piccadilly Theatre would be restored after closing 40 years prior.
