    About

    Since 1705 there have been four theatres on the site of His Majesty's. The current building was erected by the famous Actor-Manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree to house his spectacular productions of Shakespeare and literary adaptations in 1897. The theatre hosted the original production of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion and Oscar Asche’s record breaking Chu Chin Chow. During the rest of the Twentieth Century it was home to many successful musicals including West Side Story (1958), Fiddler on The Roof (1967) and the current production The Phantom Of The Opera which opened in 1986.

    Phantom of the Opera: Her Majesty's Theatre.

    Upon arriving at the theatre we saw that the box office was accessible for purchasing tickets. However, we had pre-booked so just showed our tickets to a member of staff outside. He immediately stopped his conversation with a colleague to take us on the accessible route into the stalls. This route was entirely level, without any sharp turns to navigate. I passed an accessible toilet on the way in but didn’t use it. There is a wheelchair spot at the back of the stalls, or alternatively you can go down the central ramp to a closer seat, transfer to a theatre seat, & the wheelchair is securely stored elsewhere. I transferred to a seat close enough to feel the heat of the pyrotechnics!
