Liverpool Empire Theatre is a theatre located on the corner of Lime Street and London Road in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. The theatre is the second to be built on the site, and was opened in 1925. It has the largest two-tier auditorium in Britain and can seat 2,348 people. During its time it has hosted many types of entertainment, including variety shows, musicals, operas, pop concerts, and plays. The Beatles appeared in the theatre in their early days. The theatre has hosted two Royal Command Performances and in 2007, a Royal Variety Performance to mark Liverpool's being designated a European City of Culture the following year. It is sited in the William Brown Street Conservation Area.
History
The first theatre on the site opened on 15 October 1866 and was named the "New Prince of Wales Theatre and Opera House". It was at that time Liverpool's largest theatre. On 29 July 1867 its name was changed to the "Royal Alexandra Theatre and Opera House" in honour of Princess Alexandra, Princess of Wales. The theatre closed in 1894, but was re-opened the following year under the ownership of Empire Theatre (Liverpool) Ltd. In 1896 the theatre was sold to Messrs. Moss and Thornton for £30,000 (£3,100,000 in 2016), and renamed "The Empire". This theatre closed on 16 February 1924, and it was demolished.
Like much of the Warhammer setting, the Empire resembles a period of European history but with the addition of fantasy elements, such as the presence of magic and non-human races. Both visually and in geography it is based on Europe during a mixture of the Dark Ages, middle-ages & Early Modern periods. There are wealthy city-states that bear similarity to Hanseatic league cities, such as Hamburg, and place and character names are Germanic in tone; for example, the capital of the Empire is the city of Altdorf, which translates as "old village" and is the name of several real-world places.
The Empire is the largest and most powerful of all the nations of the Old World. The Empire is bordered by the nation of Kislev to the north east and the Sea of Claws, the World's Edge Mountains to the east, and the Great Ocean, Black Mountains, Grey Mountains, the land of Bretonnia to the west, and the Border Princes to the south. To the east, the Empire is threatened by the Orcs and Goblins. A large part of the Empire is heavily forested and large numbers of Beastmen can be found in the deepest forests.

Edison Glass - Cold Condition
lyrics:
This one thing's for certain - we all need change
We wrap ourselves in blankets to stay warm
Well, it's still stinging, I can't feel my toes
I'm growing numb, I've come undone, I can't keep out the cold
I don't want to shiver anymore
Or be alone...
We need warmth to come
In our cold condition we need you to visit us
Warmth to come...
A fire from inside to burn out all our lives
Let's sew our hearts together, love will be our thread
We dance again with no reason and no inhibition
And in this moment we become alive
We dance again with no reason and no inhibition
Warmth to come
In our cold condition we need you to visit us
Warmth to come...
A fire from inside to burn out all our lives
I'll wait for you here
I want to breathe and let it go
There must be more here than we know
We need w...

You know the house down the street Where the kids are and every day They seem to have a new scar Something strange is going on and everybody knows Doors always shut and windows always closed The little girl had a burn The boy was black and blue They said it came from play You know that shit ain't true The boy's arm's broke girl is scared to speak Their parents drink all day Couple of dead beats Some days they go to school, and other days they might It's hard to stay awake after you cry all night You see 'em every day Tear tracks on their cheeks But they will never tell It goes on weeks and weeks (But what can they do? They're only children man!) You ain't no fuckin' kid Acting like you give a damn! Won't someone save these kids Do something, call a cop
