About Us

The Nederlander Organization purchased the Adelphi Theatre in 1984, becoming co-owners with Andrew Lloyd Webber in 1993, shortly before the opening of his Tony award winning musical, Sunset Boulevard.

Other famous productions at the Adelphi Theatre include Gertrude Lawrence in Cole Porter’s Nymph Errant, Ivor Novello’s The Dancing Years, Bless the Bride, Beatrice Lillie as Auntie Mame, Van Johnson in The Music Man, Lionel Bart’s Blitz! and Maggie May, Charlie Girl with Anna Neagle, a revival of Me and My Girl originally starring Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson and in the Adelphi Theatre’s longest run (over nine years), the new Broadway production of Kander and Ebb’s Chicago.

More recently, notable productions include the transfers of the National Theatre’s record-breaking One Man Two Guvnors and Chichester Festival’s Sweeney Todd starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton, as well as West End favourites Kinky Boots and Waitress.

Nederlander Theatres currently co-own the Adelphi Theatre with LW Theatres. You can find out more about the Adelphi on their website here.
