Theatre History

The Noel Coward theatre was built for actor manager Charles Wyndham, designed by famous theatre architect W. G. R. Sprague.

It originally opened as the New Theatre on 12 March 1903, with a production of Rosemary by Louis N. Parker starring Charles Wyndham.

The theatre changed its name to the Albery Theatre on the 1 January 1973, after Sir Bronson Albery who had managed the theatre for many years.

Then in May 2006, the venue’s name changed once again by theatre impressario Cameron Mackintosh and his Delfont Mackintosh Theatres company to the Noel Coward Theatre, in honour of celebrated actor, writer and directed Sir Noel Coward.
