About the Her Majesty's Theatre

The resplendent Her Majesty’s Theatre was designed by architect Charles J. Phipps and opened in 1897. The theatre's first manager was Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who founded one of the most prestigious drama schools in the world; the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) at the theatre in 1904. A theatre has stood on the site since 1704 when the Queen's Theatre opened, primarily as an opera house, which staged over 25 operas by the renowned composer George Frideric Handel. The name of the theatre changes with the gender of the monarch and was named Her Majesty's on Queen Elizabeth II's ascension to the throne.

Over the years Her Majesty's Theatre has housed world premieres of works by some of the most acclaimed playwrights, including Noël Coward, George Bernard Shaw and J. B. Priestly. Musical theatre dominated the theatre's programming post-war and saw many Broadway transfers of hit musicals including West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof and Brigadoon.

Since 1986, the theatre has been the home of Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical The Phantom of the Opera. The musical is the second longest-running musical in the West End, behind Les Misérables (currently at the Sondheim Theatre), which opened in the previous year.

The present Her Majesty's Theatre opened in 1897 and was designed by architect Charles J. Phipps. A theatre has occupied the site since 1705 when it was established as the Queen's Theatre and its primary use was as an opera house. During the early 1700s, over 25 operas by renowned composer George Frideric Handel premiered at the theatre. Since 1714, the theatre has changed names with the monarch, and thus became Her Majesty's Theatre when Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne in 1952. The Phantom of the Opera has played at the theatre since its premiere in 1986, it is the second-longest-running musical in the West End and is the most successful entertainment project in history, grossing over £3 billion around the world.
Her Majesty’s Theatre has held the same name since 1952, reflecting the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

The theatre changes name to reflect the United Kingdom’s current monarch and was first rechristened - as the King’s Theatre - in 1714 for King George I. It has subsequently been known as Her Majesty’s Theatre for Queen Victoria and His Majesty’s Theatre between 1901 and 1952 for King George V, King Edward VII and King George VI.

In keeping with tradition, Her Majesty’s Theatre will be renamed His Majesty’s Theatre following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. This change will take place at an appropriate time after the coronation of King Charles III, which is expected in 2023.
