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

The Duke of York\u2019s Theatre is an established West End venue located on St. Martin\u2019s Lane in the City of Westminster. The theatre initially opened as the \u2018Trafalgar Square Theatre\u2019 in 1892, with the comic opera \u2018The Wedding Eve\u2019. This name did not stick around for too long, as it was soon changed to \u2018The Trafalgar Theatre\u2019 in 1894, before finally becoming the Duke of York\u2019s Theatre in 1895, as a tribute to King George V. The theatre was designed by renowned architect Walter Emden, and started out with a capacity of 900 seats across 3 levels – Stalls, Royal Circle and Upper Circle, with several boxes on each level.<\/p>\n

The Duke of York\u2019s has staged a number of famous and successful productions with the first of them being \u2018The Gay Parisienne\u2019 which ran for 369 performances in 1896. Other notable shows that have taken the stage here include – \u2018The Happy Marriage\u2019, \u2018Gilt and Gingerbread\u2019, \u2018The Killing of Sister George\u2019, \u2018Half Life\u2019, and more recently \u2018Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour\u2019, \u2018King Lear\u2019 and \u2018The Moderate Soprano\u2019.<\/p>\n
