Her Majesty’s Theatre dates back to 1705, where architect John Vanbrugh established a building on the same site named Queen’s Theatre. It was constructed as an alternative to the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and Lincoln’s Inn, two of the earliest theatres in London, and remains today as the second oldest theatre site still in use in London.
Since 1986, Her Majesty’s Theatre has been home to the most-successful musical of all time, The Phantom of the Opera, and today, the theatre is owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Really Useful’ theatre group.
