ABOUT THE THEATRE
The spectacular Grade II listed glorious Trafalgar Theatre is the result of a major multi-million pound restoration project reinstating the theatre back to its original heritage 1930’s design, some of which has not been seen for over 90 years.
It originally opened as the Whitehall Theatre on September 29th?1930 making it the third new West End theatre to appear that month.
The Whitehall then gave way to the Trafalgar Studios in 2004, the former Whitehall Circle transformed into Studio 1, while the former Whitehall Stalls were re-invented as Studio 2. It quickly established itself with a programme of must-see productions alongside the unique opportunity for new writers,?designers?and producers to debut their work in a West End?venue.
It wasn't until the pandemic that the studios were renamed the Trafalgar Theatre and its two studio spaces were converted into a single 630-seat auditorium. The newly restored decoration is reflective of the original interior’s colour palette. Using historical photographs as a reference, the auditorium carpet and seating fabric replicate the original designs patterns.
