Opening in 1905 as the Waldorf, Novello Theatre was built as a pair with the Aldwych Theatre and features design by W. G. R. Sprague. At present, the theatre is managed by the Shubert Organization. In 2005, Sir Cameron Mackintosh purchased the theatre from Delfont Mackintosh Theatres and renamed it the Novello Theatre in honour of Ivor Novello, the owner of a flat above the theatre. In its century-long existence, the Novello Theatre has been refurbished 3 times; once in 1930, then in the early 1970s, and most recently in 2005. The last refurbishment was done by Cameron Mackintosh’s company for the theatre’s 100th anniversary.

What the critics think

What a super trouper. It’s 24 years since Abba musical Mamma Mia premiered in the West End, setting the template for numerous jukebox shows to follow, and Phyllida Lloyd’s slick production is still a tremendous crowd-pleaser.

From booking to the big day, it's all easy with Headout. The app also sends out handy reminders so you don't miss a thing. And of course, the show was top-notch. The artists communicated such joie de vivre and insane energy that you left the show with a smile on your face and your feet dancing!

4/5

The show is absolutely brilliant and the artists fabulous. The only downside is the comfort of the seats, especially the legroom. This theater dates back to 1913, and people in those days certainly had smaller statues. The charm of old theaters. To round off an extra-special London trip.
