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

The Aldwych Theatre was constructed in 1905 along together with the Novello Theatre<\/a> by designer W. G. R. Sprague. Walter Wallis of Balham designed the theatre and added the ornate Georgian-style decorations. The Aldwych quickly built a reputation for the quality of shows it hosted, particularly the series of comedies which played at the theatre beginning in 1925. Later, in the 1960s, the theatre became renowned for another series of plays, this time governed by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Their reign on the theatre lasted for 21 years and saw some of Britain\u2019s best known and respected actors grace the stage in the works of the Bard. Post this remarkable time, the theatre was bought by the Nederlander Organization<\/a> who currently own it.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the Aldwych Theatre has hosted some truly wonderful and remarkable musicals like A Cuckoo in the Nest, A Night Like This, The Balcony, Travesties, Whistle Down The Wind, Fame \u2013 The Musical, Dirty Dancing \u2013 The Classic Story on Stage, and recently, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. In 2018, the theatre began hosting the production of Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, based on the life of rock and roll legend Tina Turner.<\/p>\n
