The New Theatre Royal

About

The New Theatre Royal in the heart of Portsmouth is an iconic Victorian building and one of the remaining few Phipps / Matcham theatres in the world.

The Theatre is a Victorian Grade II listed, constructed in 1854 as Landport Hall, with a capacity of 667. 

Working with and for Portsmouth, the theatre seeks to create a programme which engages with and reflects the vitality of the city. 

A huge variety of shows are laid on throughout the year, from operas and ballet to modern hard-hitting plays and some of the country's top stand-up talent.

The Theatre reopened in October 2015 after a £4.7M refurbishment project.
