The Queen's Theatre LondonThe Queen's Theatre London was designed as a twin to the Globe Theatre (now called the Gielgud Theatre). During the 2nd World war on 24th September 1940 a bomb dropped on the theatre destroying the entire front of house area along with part of the rear stalls. Following this bomb damage the theatre was used for rehearsals for a period of time.

The Queen’s Theatre reopened on 8th July 1959 after the front facade and front foyers had been rebuilt together with a new exterior designed by Brian Westwood and Sir Hugh Casson. During early 1992 the theatre was refurbished.

Productions at the theatre have included the 1961 musical Stop the World I Want To Get Off! with Anthony Newley which had a run of 485 performances. In 1966 Noel Coward made his final stage appearance in Suite in Three Keys. Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens appeared at the theatre together in 1972. During 1975 Otherwise Engaged had a run of 1029 performances. In 1982 Kenneth Branagh made his West End debut in Another Country and in 1987 Jeffrey Archer’s first play Beyond Reasonable Doubt started a run of 17 months. More recent productions at The Queens Theatre include the Australian song-and-dance show Hot Shoe Shuffle, the Stephen Sondheim musical Passion with Michael Ball and Maria Friedman and Masterclass with Patti LuPone.

In 2019, Cameron Mackintosh announced that the long-running original production of Les Misérables would close on 13 July 2019 while the theatre goes under a major restoration and will return in a new production from 18 December 2019, when The Queen's Theatre would be renamed as The Sondheim Theatre in honor of composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim
