Gillian Lynne Theatre

The venue made history in May 2018 when it formally changed its name from the New London to the Gillian Lynne Theatre, becoming the first West End theatre to be named after a woman in order to celebrate the life and work of a groundbreaking choreographer, visionary director and a true musical theatre great

We believe that the joy of live performances should be accessible to all, and we're committed to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy entertainment in a comfortable, inclusive, and welcoming environment.
