If the walls of this historic theatre could talk, they’d doubtless tell some fascinating stories. Renamed, rebuilt and refurbished numerous times since 1705, Her Majesty’s Theatre is still at the beating heart of London’s live performance scene and continues to embody the sophisticated soul of British musical theatre. There is a fitting sense of symmetry that, having started life as an opera house, it still hosts the West End’s second-longest running production: the timeless classic that is The Phantom of the Opera.
