The Teatro Variedades was a famous Colosseum in the city of Madrid, Spain, in the 19th century. Erected in 1847, the theater was located at 40 Magdalena Street.{{cite book|last=Instituto Nacional de Administración Pública|title=Reformistas y reformas en la administración española|year=2005|publisher=INAP|isbn=8473512383|page=406|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a4Zb9v-7REIC&dq=Teatro+Variedades+%2240+de+la+calle+de+la+Magdalena%22&pg=PA406}} It was known once as one of the most entertaining theatres for the not-so-demanding general public.{{cite book|last=Serrano García|first=Rafael|title=España: 1868-1874 : nuevos enfoques sobre el Sexenio Democrático|year=2008|publisher=Junta de Castilla y León|isbn=978-8497180894|page=20|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KWVpAAAAMAAJ&q=Teatro+Variedades+%2240+de+la+calle+de+la+Magdalena%22}} There, the Boufee genre, the political revue and other minor theatrical genres were inventively exploited. The theater was consumed by flames in a fire on 29 January 1888, resulting in its demolition because of its wooden foundations.
