The Alexandra Theatre Birmingham | History, Hauntings & Ghost Stories

Описание: The Alexandra Theatre — known affectionately as The Alex — has stood at the heart of Birmingham’s cultural life for over 120 years. From its beginnings as the Lyceum Theatre in 1901 to its modern reinvention, this historic venue has witnessed ambition, tragedy, triumph, and transformation.

In this documentary-style video, we explore the full history of the Alexandra Theatre, including: • The Lyceum Theatre and its early years

• The rise of pantomime under Lester Collingwood
• The golden era of Leon Salberg
• The complete Art Deco rebuild of 1935
• Wartime performances and survival
• Modern productions and recent refurbishments

Alongside its rich history, the Alexandra Theatre is also one of Birmingham’s most haunted buildings. Staff, performers, and investigators have reported decades of unexplained phenomena, including:
• Sightings of Leon Salberg, the theatre’s long-serving manager
• The Wardrobe Master still walking the corridors
• A mysterious figure in uniform and top hat
• Disembodied footsteps, music, and jangling keys
• A door slamming shut in icy conditions with no explanation
This video presents documented accounts and eyewitness reports, told calmly and respectfully, allowing viewers to decide for themselves whether the Alex is truly haunted.
