ABOUT THE THEATRE
The Palace Theatre was designed by Thomas Edward Collcutt and intended to be a home of English grand opera. The theatre opened as the Royal English Opera House in January 1891 but within a year it was converted into a grand music hall and renamed the Palace Theatre of Varieties.
In 1925, the musical comedy No, No, Nanette opened and this was followed by many other musicals. In time the theatre became known as a musical house. Notable productions include, Jesus Christ Superstar and Les Miserables, The Palace Theatre is currently home to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
The Palace Theatre was purchased in 2012 by Nica Burns and Max Weitzenhoffer forming part of the Nimax Theatres group.
