The Building Design of the Noël Coward Theatre

The Noël Coward theatre is a Grade II listed building designed by WGR Sprague in 1903. Commissioned by Sir Charles Wyndham the theatre is classical in style with a Louis XVI auditorium, the colour scheme has retained its elegance over the years with a blend of cream, gold, damask and grey throughout the building.

In 1968 the theatre underwent a refurbishment, all of the behind the scenes equipment was updated and modernised. The fly towers were electrified and the dressing rooms, public facilities and safety curtain modernised. In 2006 the theatre again benefitted from a major refurbishment and is as beautiful today as it was in 1903.

The History of the Noël Coward Theatre

Originally the Noël Coward theatre stood as the New Theatre and was built as a sister theatre to the Wyndham Theatre. The two theatres were built back to back and adjoin by a high up enclosed foot bridge, a small walkway at ground level provides a thoroughfare for pedestrians.

In 1973 the theatre was renamed the Alberyin honour of Sir Bronson Albery the manager at that time who's bust appears in the foyer of the Noël Coward to this day. The theatre only became the Noël Coward theatre recently when the Delfont Mackintosh Group took over the day to day running in 2005.

Over the years the theatre has been host to a number of famous productions and people including The Scarlet Pimpernel and T. S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party. In 1960 the musical Oliver! opened at the Noël Coward theatre and ran for 2, 168 performances the longest production to run at the theatre to date.
