I would edge towards a theatre as I like the intimacy.
However, to accomodate some of the spectacular elements Jim has described, it would have to be a big theatre (with a big stage).
I think something like the Colliseum in Vegas would be perfect as it seats around 3500, everyone has a decent view, and there is a huge stage.
Closest to that in London is the RAH, but they wouldn't be able to stay there for anything more than a month.
You can understand Jim's earlier comments about purpose building something in London.
