HISTORY	The Queen's Theatre was designed as a twin to the Globe Theatre (now called the Gielgud Theatre). During the 2 nd World war, on 24th September, 1940 a bomb fell on the theatre destroying the entire front of house area along with part of the rear stalls. The theatre was subsequently used for rehearsals. The Queen's Theatre then reopened on 8th July, 1959 after the front facade and front foyers had been rebuilt with a new modern exterior designed by Brian Westwood and Sir Hugh Casson. The theatre was refurbished in early 1992.   Productions here have included the 1961 musical Stop the World - I Want To Get Off! with Anthony Newley which enjoyed a run of 485 performances. 1966 saw Noel Coward make his final stage appearance in Suite in Three Keys. Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens appeared together in 1972. In 1975 Otherwise Engaged had a run of 1,029 performances. 1982 saw Kenneth Branagh make his West End debut in Another Country while in 1987 Jeffrey Archer's first play Beyond Reasonable Doubt started a successful run of 17 months. More recent productions at The Queens Theatre include the Australian song-and-dance show Hot Shoe Shuffle, the Stephen Sondheim musical Passion with Michael Ball and Maria Friedman and Masterclass with Patti LuPone
