The theater hosts musicals, plays, opera and ballet throughout the year, Creative Learning events, workshops and courses. It has a capacity of 952 seats over four levels and features a wonderful Proscenium. One of the oldest theatres in England, Brighton?s Theatre Royal was founded in 1806 when The Prince of Wales, George Augustus Frederick who later became Prince Regent and then King George IV, approved the building of the theatre, hence the ?Royal? in the name. It opened on 27th June 1807. The opening performance for was Shakespeare?s Hamlet. For its first fifty years the theatre struggled until it was bought and redeveloped by the actor Henry John Nye Chart in 1854, who hired the famous architect Charles James Phipps, and soon the theatre became more financially successful and gained a respected reputation. When Henry died in 1876, his wife Ellen Elizabeth Nye Chart (also a thespian) took over and was one of the first female theatre managers. Ellen further built upon the success and reputation of the theatre. In recent years the theater has hosted popular shows like The Rocky Horror Show and Spamalot in order to appeal to a wider audience. The theatre was bought by the Ambassador Theatre Group in 1999.
