The New Regency Theatre was a London theatre, which was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
History
Henry Gordon Jago acquired the New Regency Theatre in the 1890s (JAL: The Theatre of Dreams), having sold the Palace Theatre as a result of the scandal following the Weng-Chiang incident in 1889 (MA: The Shadow of Weng-Chiang).
Queen Victoria once attended a play at the theatre, which was a source of great pride to Jago. (JAL: The Theatre of Dreams)
Jago owned the theatre until his death. Sometime later, the ballet Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was performed at the New Regency Theatre. It was a huge success, selling out the theatre for months. (JAL: Swan Song)
At 8:47 p.m. on 12 October 1940, the New Regency Theatre was destroyed in the Blitz during World War II. (JAL: Swan Song, JAL: Chronoclasm)
