Trivia & History

Ivor Novello lived above the theatre for 38 years (1913 - 1951). He wrote many of his musicals there.


Cameron Mackintosh, owner of the theatre, announced in May 2005 that the building would be renamed in honor of Novello following its Fall 2005 reopening (after a refurbishment).
