About The Theatre<\/a>Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

The Theatre Royal Drury Lane is located in Covent Garden, Westminster. Since 1663, there have been four theatres at the same location, with the Theatre Royal Drury Lane being the last one. Therefore, this West End veteran, situated between Catherine Street (earlier named Bridges or Brydges Street) and Drury Lane, is the oldest London theatre still in use. The seating capacity of the theatre is 2,196, with 4 levels \u2014 Stalls, Royal Circle, Grand Circle, and Balcony. The current building was designed by Benjamin Wyatt. It is the only theatre in London to have two royal boxes in the auditorium. <\/p>\n

Many notable performances have been staged in the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, especially musical theatre shows. Over the years, Rodgers and Hammerstein\u2019s Oklahoma!, Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison starring My Fair Lady, Pulitzer Prize-winning A Chorus Line, and the dance-heavy musical 42nd Street have been some of its most popular presentations. The Theatre Royal Drury Lane underwent two years of refurbishment recently. It reopened in 2021 with the West End premiere of Frozen. Andrew Lloyd Webber is the present owner of the theatre.<\/p>\n
