The name of the theatre changes with the sex of the monarch. It first became the King's Theatre in 1714 on the accession of George I. Most recently, the theatre was known as His Majesty's Theatre from 1901 to 1952, and it became Her Majesty's on the accession of Elizabeth II. The theatre's capacity is 1,216 seats, and the building was Grade II* listed by English Heritage in January 1970. Really Useful Group Theatres owned the theatre building from 2000 until 2010 when it was sold to the GradeLinnit consortium[5]; the land beneath it is on a long-term lease from the Crown Estate.
