The
Theatre's Front of House areas, specifically the Rotunda, Grand Saloon,
and magnificent staircases, were the subject of a major refurbishment
in 2013 by the Theatre's owner Andrew Lloyd Webber whose wish was to
return it to its original Regency splendour.

The unveiling of the £4m restoration was on the 15th of May 2013 and revealed the Theatre's original colour scheme, cleaned and restored paintings and statues, and the Grand Saloon's anti rooms being restored to their original use. Some more photographs taken on the day of the unveiling can be seen here.

Richard Dreyfuss had to pull out of the show days before the first preview and so never actually appeared in it. Nathan Lane flew over from the USA at the last minute, saving the London production and winning critical acclaim once again for his role as Max Bialystock. - Photo M.L. 04.
