Welcome to Theatre Royal,
Newcastle upon Tyne

Welcome to the finest drama, the brightest West End musicals, the cream of the comedy circuit, award winning ballet and dance, family friendly shows, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, Opera North and Rambert Dance – and (we think) the best Pantomime in the country!

Welcome to one of the finest and most historic theatres in the UK, built in 1837 and, following a devastating fire, reconstructed in 1901, a Grade 1 listed landmark!

Welcome to the warmest of welcomes – 325,000 people a year can’t be wrong!

Welcome to the Theatre Royal for inspiration and entertainment!

CHESS

The Musical Event of the Year!

"I was enthralled from beginning to end..I could have sat there and watched it all again and again...incredible...the ultimate staging of Chess. If this production does not win a clutch of awards then there is something amiss. It has it all."

Gordon Barr, Evening Chronicle
