Duke of York's Theatre

The Duke of York's Theatre is in St Martin's Lane. It was built for Frank Wyatt and his wife, Violet Melnotte, who retained ownership of the theatre until her death in 1935. It opened in 1892 as the Trafalgar Square Theatre, with Wedding Eve. The theatre, designed by architect Walter Emden became known as the Trafalgar Theatre in 1894 and the following year became the Duke of York's to honour the future King George V.
In the late 1970s the freehold of the theatre was purchased by Capital Radio and it closed in 1979 for refurbishment. It reopened in February 1980.
The Ambassador Theatre Group bought the theatre in 1992.
The theatre is the London headquarters of the Ambassador Theatre Group.
