History

The Duke of York's theatre opened on 10th September, 1892 with Wedding Eve. It was built for Frank Wyatt and his wife Violet Melnotte. It was first called Trafalgar Square Theatre, then shortened to Trafalgar Theatre, and the following year became The Duke of York’s Theatre to honour the future King George V.

In 1900, Jerome K Jerome's Miss Hobbs was staged as well as David Belasco's Madame Butterfly, which was seen by Puccini, who later turned it into the famous opera.
In the late 1970s the freehold of the theatre was purchased by Capital Radio and it closed in 1979 for refurbishment. It reopened in February 1980 and the first production under the patronage of Capital Radio was Rose, starring Glenda Jackson.

The Ambassador Theatre Group bought the theatre in 1992 and this coincided with London's hottest show, The Royal Court's production of Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden. A host of successes followed including Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show - celebrating its 21st Birthday and the hugely successful Royal Court Classics Season in 1995.

The Duke of York's has played host to the Royal Court and the highly acclaimed co-production of The Weir, which ran for over 2 years and won the 1999 Olivier Award for Best New Play. It has also had a sell-out run of Stones In His Pockets, winner of the 2001 Olivier awards for Best Comedy and Best Comedy Actor.
