Duchess Theatre

The Duchess Theatre opened in London in 1929. The following year, The Intimate Revue opened and closed at the Duchess Theatre on the same night!

Fortunately, the theatre’s luck turned around with long running productions such as Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit in 1942, the musical Oh! Calcutta! in 1974 and Marc Camoletti’s Don’t Dress For Dinner in 1992. Many stars have appeared in shows at the Duchess Theatre including David Suchet and Mark Rylance.

Duchess Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has two levels – Stalls and Grand Circle.

In the Stalls, seats curve inwards towards the end of each row and the seats are not raked until Row G. The Grand Circle overhangs the Stalls from Row G onwards.

The Circle offers good views throughout, and it is a very intimate theatre so does not feel removed from the action.
