On 3 April 2004 Cameron Mackintosh’s musical phenomenon Les Miserables transferred from the Palace Theatre where it had run for more than 18 years and an incredible 7,602 performances.
Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Limited took over the freehold of the Queen’s and the Gielgud Theatres from Christ’s Hospital, Horsham, in 1999. The lease of the Gielgud Theatre then went from Really Useful Theatres to Delfont Mackintosh Theatres in March 2006 and thereafter, the theatre has played host to Les Misérables and also undergone further refurbishment.

The Sondheim Theatre is a West End theatre located on Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster, London. It was originally called the Queen’s Theatre and was built in 1907, designed by architect W.G.R. Sprague. The theatre was named after Queen Alexandra, the wife of King Edward VII. The Queen’s Theatre has been the home of many successful productions, including Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, and The Phantom of the Opera.
In 2009, the theatre underwent a major renovation and was renamed the Sondheim Theatre in honor of American composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. The renovation included updating the seating, improving the sightlines, and adding state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment. The first production in the newly named Sondheim Theatre was the musical “Hair.”
