The Queen's
Theatre opened on 8 October 1907, almost 10 months after its twin, the Gielgud Theatre, on the adjoining corner of Shaftesbury Avenue. The architect for both was W.G.R. Sprague, the Queen's being the seventh West End theatre he had designed in addition to many outside London. Seating over 1,000 it was slightly larger than the Gielgud and like most theatres at the time exhibited a combination of architectural styles and influences, the most predominant being what was then termed the 'Edwardian Renaissance' style. The Illustrated London News wrote, the 'new Queen's Theatre, thanks to its imposing facade, makes a real addition to London's architecture, and internally, with its green upholstery and its white and gold scheme of decoration, proves one of the cosiest of our playhouses'. It was only after some debate that it was called the Queen's and a portrait of Queen Alexandra was hung above the fireplace in the grand entrance foyer. An earlier idea was to call it the Central Theatre, leading Bernard Shaw to remark, 'as if it were a criminal court or a railway terminus'.
