Shaftesbury Theatre zahájilo svůj provoz 26. prosince 1911 původně jako New Prince’s Theatre, přičemž na zkrácený název Prince’s Theatre přešlo v roce 1914. V počátcích své existence divadlo čelilo nepravidelnému programu s delšími pauzami mezi produkcemi – zřejmě i kvůli silné konkurenci, neboť šlo o poslední scénu vybudovanou na slavné Shaftesbury Avenue. Přesto si v této éře připsalo úspěchy s tituly jako Tři mušketýři, Diplomacy či mimořádně oblíbenou osmnáctitýdenní sezonou operet Gilberta a Sullivana v roce 1919. Poté, co budovu v roce 1962 odkoupila společnost EMI, se scéna stala domovem řady úspěšných broadwayských hitů. Diváci zde mohli zhlédnout tituly jako Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1962), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1963) nebo legendární muzikál Hair. Ten dosáhl úctyhodných 1 998 repríz a jeho uvádění ukončilo až nečekané zřícení části stropu v roce 1973. Před hrozbou demolice a plánované developerské výstavby zachránila budovu kampaň odborového svazu Equity. Po znovuotevření v roce 1975 divadlo navázalo na svou tradici velkých muzikálových produkcí, mezi něž patří West Side Story (1975), They’re Playing Our Song (1980), Follies (1987) nebo Rent (1998). V tomto období divadlo zakoupila společnost Theatre of Comedy Company, která v roce 2006 provedla krátkou rekonstrukci. Od té doby Shaftesbury Theatre i nadále láká na populární muzikály, včetně evropské premiéry Hairspray, Rock of Ages (přeneseného z Garrick Theatre) či světové premiéry From Here to Eternity.

Divadlo Shaftesbury Theatre has a capacity of Around 1,300 across three levels (1,015 on two levels during refurbishment until early 2027).
The Shaftesbury Theatre opened on 26 December 1911, under the name the New Prince’s Theatre. It changed its name to the Prince’s Theatre in 1914. Throughout the early years of the venue, there were large gaps between performances (most likely due to competition, as the theatre was the last to be built in Shaftesbury Avenue), but it did enjoy successful productions of The Three Musketeers, Diplomacy, and an 18 week season of Gilbert and Sullivan in 1919.
After its sale to EMI in 1962, the theatre took the name the Shaftesbury Theatre, as the original Shaftesbury Theatre further along Shaftesbury Avenue had been destroyed in the Blitz. It played host to several successful Broadway productions, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1962), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1963) and Hair (which ran for 1,998 performances, finally closing in 1973 due to a ceiling collapse).
The building was saved from a proposed redevelopment by an Equity campaign, and reopened in 1975, where it continued to host successful musical productions. Examples include West Side Story (1975), They’re Playing Our Song (1980), Follies (1987), and Rent (1998).
During this time, the Theatre of Comedy Company bought the theatre and briefly closed the theatre for refurbishment in 2006. Since its reopening, the theatre has continued to host popular musical productions, such as a European premiere of Hairspray, Rock of Ages (a transfer from the Garrick Theatre), and the world premiere of From Here to Eternity.
A Grade II listed building, it was the first steel frame theatre in the West End and is the only London theatre with a dome that opens. A RIBA award winning fly tower was added in 2016, and a new stalls bar and expanded front of house spaces followed between 2020 and 2023. Recent productions include & Juliet, Mrs Doubtfire, Just For One Day and Avenue Q.
In February 2027 the Shaftesbury, the largest independent theatre in the West End, will be renamed the Judi Dench Theatre in honour of Dame Judi Dench, the first West End theatre to be named after an actress. The first production to open under the new name is the UK premiere of The Notebook, the new musical based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, with previews from 10 March 2027.

What a tremendous venue. Love it And the show.....Just for one day, the story of Live Aid is out of this world. SUPERB. If you are a fan of the 80s music scene, regardless of your age, you are in for a real treat. This performance brought back so many memories, even a singing Maggie Thatcher makes a couple of appearances. 'Give us the tax back or I'll tell people not to vote for you...' Top performers, none stop 80s hits, with a story line that rocks. Loved every minute.
Christmas Eve show. Just For One Day. Amazing. Lovely theatre. It was great to do something for us on Christmas Eve other than work. Very tidy theatre and staff were accommodating. Drinks were priced as you would expect for London. Will come again.
lovely theatre, nice location, friendly helpful staff. saw live aid just for one day, absolutely loved it 💓brilliant, chap who played Bob was astounding , got him off to a tee, 10/10 and freddie Mercury was amazing goose bumps galore. I wanted to get up n dance to every song 😃 really enjoyed it, lady who played Maggie was hysterical and very entertaining 👏 I believe it is going on tour, so will definitely be seeing it again. slightly disappointed there was no encore, I had assumed they would have come on and sung feed the world at the end.
Nice theatre, doesn't seem as big as others but that's fine. Nice staff showing you where to go and to you seats. We were sat in the stalls and it was the beginning of January and very cold outside, it wasn't much warmer in the theatre but don't let that out you off.
