Venue info

Il Noel Coward Theatre è un teatro londinese presentato su British Theatre. Scopri gli spettacoli in arrivo, informazioni pratiche per la visita e consigli utili per prenotare i biglietti prima di andare. Il Noel Coward Theatre aprì il 12 marzo 1903 con il nome di New Theatre, inaugurando la sua attività con una produzione di Rosemary. Nel cast figurava anche il costruttore del teatro, Charles Wyndham. Nel 1920 il teatro ospitò I’ll Leave it to You, la prima opera teatrale di Noel Coward. Negli anni Venti e Trenta il palcoscenico accolse moltissimi nomi illustri, soprattutto grazie a produzioni leggendarie con John Gielgud protagonista. In Hamlet, Gielgud recitò accanto a Jessica Tandy e a un giovanissimo Alec Guinness; in Romeo and Juliet apparve con Peggy Ashcroft, Edith Evans e Laurence Olivier. Durante il Blitz, il teatro divenne la casa delle compagnie dell’Old Vic e del Sadler’s Wells, che avevano entrambe perso i loro teatri a causa dei bombardamenti. Vi rimasero fino alla ricostruzione delle rispettive sedi negli anni Cinquanta. Il 30 giugno 1960 segnò l’apertura di Oliver! di Lionel Bart, che fu un grande successo e rimase in cartellone per 2.618 repliche. La seconda metà del XX secolo portò altri grandi nomi sul palco. Tra gli esempi: Judi Dench, Roger Rees e Donald Sinden in London Assurance (1974), Trevor Eve in Children of a Lesser God (1981) e Helen Mirren con John Hurt in A Month in the Country (1994). La Royal Shakespeare Company detenne inoltre i diritti esclusivi per presentare qui la sua London Season di tragedie (nella stagione 2004/05: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, King Lear e Hecuba). Delfont Mackintosh Limited acquistò il teatro nel 2005 e, dopo un importante intervento di ristrutturazione, lo riaprì come Noel Coward Theatre il 1° giugno 2006, in occasione della prima londinese di Avenue Q.

History

The Noel Coward Theatre opened on 12 March 1903 under the name the New Theatre and with an inaugural production of Rosemary. It starred the theatre’s builder Charles Wyndham. In 1920 the theatre I’ll Leave it to You; Noel Coward’s first play.

Many famous names would grace the theatre in the 1920s and 30’s, mainly due to legendary productions starring John Gielgud. In Hamlet, Gielgud acted alongside Jessica Tandy and a young Alec Guinness, and in Romeo and Juliet, he appeared with Peggy Ashcroft, Edith Evans, and Laurence Olivier.

During the Blitz, the theatre became the home of the Old Vic and Sadler’s Well Theatre Companies, who both lose their theatres in the bombings. They would remain there until their theatres were reconstructed in the 50’s. 30 June 1960 saw the opening of Lionel Bart’s Oliver!, which proved a great success and ran for 2,618 performances.

The latter half of the 20th Century would bring more big names into the theatre. Examples include Judi Dench, Roger Rees and Donald Sinden in London Assurance (1974), Trevor Eve in Children of a Lesser God (1981), and Helen Mirren and John Hurt in A Month in the Country (1994). The Royal Shakespeare Company held exclusive rights to perform their London Season of tragedies there (the 2004/05 season saw Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet Macbeth, King Lear, and Hecuba).

Delfont Mackintosh Limited purchased the theatre in 2005 and, after a major refurbishment, re-opened the theatre as the Noel Coward Theatre on 1 June 2006 for the London premiere of Avenue Q.

Dracula ... Cynthia Erivo delivered a brilliant solo performance playing all 23 roles. The fabulous staging was imaginative and delivered all the drama of an 80s ALW show. From the opening moments my partner and I were enthralled. This was dished up to the audience in one sitting and it gave many of us goosebumps. The standing ovation was spontaneous and well deserved. I read some scathing reviews just before attending - but clearly the critics had no idea about the original story and are too focussed on juvenile / teen romps. I suspect short attention spans are to blame too - it really is their loss. As to the theatre itself - a beautiful old building, thoughtfully presented and really well run. Genuinely impressed by the legroom in the stalls too. Highly recommended for any production.

Very famous small theatre with limited capacity of less than 1,000 people. The seating is very crammed and getting in and out of your seats requires everyone to stand up so my advice would be go to the bathroom before settling in. It can also be very slow getting in and out of the theatre as the corridors are very tight. It seems quite a potential death trap if there was a fire and I didn't hear any mention of fire escapes by staff. Pricing seemed to be from £50 to above £100 and the play I saw was entertaining if overly camp. The Importance of Being Ernest doesn't need "reimagining" or camping up as the best part about the play is the dialogue but the West End and Broadway seems to turn everything these days into a panto like experience. The set designer for this play was excellent and the best part of the show.

It’s great show, funny and entertaining. Just please, don’t be late otherwise you will meet 1/2 of the first part in the bar with TV watching the show from there. On the last balcony the first and last 7 sits on the site is impossible to see anything, please be aware. Great play

I love this theatre. Everything was perfect. The volume was not deafening as it is at other locations. The actors were so clear and easy to follow. The set was gorgeous. The stage is high so it makes it easy to have a good view regardless of your seat. Do arrive on time, this was our first time ever being late and you sit in the bar watching the production from a small TV screen until there is a suitable time for you to be allowed entry to the production. It means you miss out and it really is a waste of the money you’ve spent on the ticket.
