What’s On at The Other Palace
Dubbed the home of new musical theatre, The Other Palace has become known in recent years for hosting cult musicals that bring in a diverse younger audience. It is currently showing the Cruel Intentions musical, a black comedy that mashes up the ‘90s film with pop hits from the decade. Much like its predecessor Heathers, it has become a hugely popular musical for older teens and young adults, but its tongue-in-cheek black humour and riff on classic novel Dangerous Liaisons is a riot for all (adult) ages.
About the The Other Palace
The Other Palace, formerly the St James Theatre, has two separate performance spaces and is well-known for its diverse theatre programme, which provides a platform for new productions. As St James Theatre, the venue made its debut with a production of Bully Boy, a play by writer, comedian and former Great British Bake-Off host, Sandi Toksvig. The building is designed by Foster Wilson Architects and first opened in 2012 on the site of the Westminster Theatre, which was demolished after significant fire damage in 2002.
In 2017, the renovated venue reopened as The Other Palace, after Andrew Lloyd Webber purchased the building in 2016. Lloyd Webber later sold the venue during the global Coronavirus pandemic in 2021, a decision that he described as "heart-wrenching". It was purchased by theatre and film producer Bill Kenwright.
The Other Palace is known for hosting new and exciting productions, including the UK premieres of musicals such as Urinetown, Eugenius!, Heathers: The Musical, Falsettos, Amélie the Musical and Be More Chill.
