The New Wimbledon Theatre was constructed in 1910 by the theatre devotee J B Mullholland and and is now coming near its centenary year. It is broadly called the Grand Old Lady of Wimbledon’s Broadway. It is a Grade 2 listed building. The Georgian Renaissance style facade is crowned by the Goddess of Gaiety. The winged angel standing eminently on the dome looking out over London. Inside the walls and ceilings are adorned with painted and sculpted figures in the fashion of the Italian Renaissance. Over the years a lot of legendary stars such as Gracie Fields, Noel Coward, Marlene Dietrich, Laurel & Hardy, John Mills, Norman Wisdom, Tommy Steele, Timothy Dalton and Joan Collins have all adorned the stage. It has also hosted the world premieres of Half A Sixpence and Oliver, starring Tommy Steele. The main auditorium is adjoined by the smaller New Wimbledon Studio, seating up to 80 people. It is often home to small scale drama and comedy. The doors opened for the first time on Boxing Day 1910 and will soon be 100 years old. The theatre was saved from redevelopment when the management was taken on by the Ambassador Theatre Group in 2004. With many refurbishments most notably in 1991 and 1998, it retains its interior features. Until 2001, it was owned and controlled by the Wimbledon Civic Theatre Trust, on behalf of the London Borough of Merton, who still own the freehold of the building. The trust was responsible for overseeing a multi-million pound refurbishment in the late 1990s. This comprised a new backstage area, tower and new seating in the orchestra stalls as well as redecoration of the interior. During this period, it was closed for an full year.
