Venue info

नोवेलो थिएटर लंदन का एक थिएटर स्थल है, जिसे British Theatre पर प्रस्तुत किया गया है। अपनी यात्रा से पहले आने वाले शो देखें, स्थल से जुड़ी उपयोगी जानकारी और टिकट बुकिंग से संबंधित सुझाव जानें। यह थिएटर, आल्डविच थिएटर के साथ जोड़ी के रूप में बनाया गया था और मूल रूप से वॉल्डॉर्फ थिएटर कहलाता था, 22 मई 1905 को खुला। इसका नाम 1901 में स्ट्रैंड थिएटर रखा गया, फिर 1911 में व्हिटनी थिएटर, और 1913 में यह फिर से स्ट्रैंड थिएटर के नाम पर लौट आया। इस थिएटर में कई यादगार और चर्चित प्रस्तुतियाँ हो चुकी हैं। 1940 के दशक में ब्लैक कॉमेडी ‘आर्सेनिक एंड ओल्ड लेस’ 1,337 प्रदर्शनों तक चली, 1955 की ‘सेलर, बिवेयर!’ 1,231 प्रदर्शनों तक चली, और 1971 की कॉमेडी ‘नो सेक्स प्लीज़, वी’re ब्रिटिश’ ने गैरिक थिएटर में स्थानांतरित होने से पहले 10 साल तक शानदार प्रदर्शन किया (और वहाँ अतिरिक्त 6 साल तक चली)। 2005 में, इस थिएटर का नाम संगीतकार और अभिनेता आइवर नोवेलो के सम्मान में ‘द नोवेलो थिएटर’ रखा गया। आइवर नोवेलो 1913 से 1951 के बीच थिएटर के ऊपर बने एक फ्लैट में रहते थे। 21वीं सदी में 2005/06 के रॉयल शेक्सपियर कंपनी (RSC) सीज़न ने इसे नई सफलता दिलाई, जिसमें ‘ट्वेल्फ्थ नाइट’, ‘द कॉमेडी ऑफ एरर्स’, ‘ए मिडसमर नाइट्स ड्रीम’ और ‘ऐज़ यू लाइक इट’ शामिल थे। इसके बाद कई म्यूज़िकल आए—पर नतीजे मिले-जुले रहे। इनमें 2006 में ‘फुटलूज़’ का लंदन प्रीमियर, 2007 में ‘द ड्राउज़ी चैपरोन’ का यूरोपीय प्रीमियर (दर्शक कम होने के कारण 2 महीने बाद बंद), और ‘डेस्परेटली सीकिंग सुसान’ का वर्ल्ड प्रीमियर (2007 में ही; नकारात्मक समीक्षाओं के बाद 1 महीने में बंद) शामिल हैं। फिलहाल यह थिएटर ‘मामा मिया!’ का घर है, जो प्रिंस ऑफ वेल्स थिएटर में 8 साल की सफल रन के बाद यहाँ ट्रांसफ़र होकर आई। Mamma Mia!

History

The theatre, built as a pair with the Aldwych and originally titles the Waldorf Theatre, opened on 22 May 1905. It was renamed the Strand Theatre in 1901, then the Whitney Theatre in 1911, and reverted to the Strand Theatre in 1913.

The theatre has enjoyed many famous productions. In the 1940s, the black comedy Arsenic and Old Lace ran for 1,337 performances, 1955’s Sailor, Beware! Ran for 1,231 performances, and the 1971 comedy No Sex Please, We’re British ran for 10 years before transferring to the Garrick Theatre (for an additional 6 years).

In 2005, the theatre was renamed The Novello Theatre in honor of composer and actor Ivor Novello, who lived in a flat above the theatre between 1913-1951.

The 21st Century brought success with the 2005/06 Royal Shakespeare Company season, which featured Twelfth Night, The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and As You Like It. A string of musicals followed with mixed results. This included the London premiere of Footloose in 2006, the European premiere of The Drowsy Chaperone in 2007 (which closed after 2 months due to lack of audience), and the world premiere of Desperately Seeking Susan (also in 2007, the show closed after 1 month after unfavorable reviews).

The theatre is currently home to Mama Mia! which transferred after an 8 year run at the Prince of Wales Theatre.

Saw Mama Mia and had a great time! The talent/singing of the performers were outstanding! Beautiful theater! It got a bit warm in the theater - needs a little better ventilation but not sure if that's possible due to the old age of the theater.

Yesterday we visited the Novello Theatre in London to see the musical Mamma Mia!, and we were absolutely thrilled! The performance was fantastic – full of energy, emotion, and joy. The cast was outstanding, with incredible voices and wonderful stage presence. The atmosphere in the theatre was amazing, and you could truly feel the excitement from the audience throughout the show. The theatre itself is beautiful and creates a very special experience. We would especially like to praise the staff. One of my colleagues felt unwell due to the height of her seat, and the team reacted immediately and kindly offered her a different seat. We are very grateful for their understanding and professionalism. Special thanks to the lovely staff member with the nose piercing who helped us – she was incredibly kind and supportive. All in all, it was an unforgettable evening and we highly recommend this theatre and musical to everyone!
