Planning permission has been granted by Newham Council for a 1.150 seat theatre to be built in London's Royal Docks. The new venue, named Royal Docks Theatre, is to be the purpose-built home for the acclaimed historical Dutch theatre experience Soldier of Orange - The Musical which is coming to London for the first time. Situated within the heart of the history and one of London's heaviest bombed areas during The Blitz, the WWII theatrical experience will be at the centre of the Royal Dock's regeneration.

After thorough research in the UK, NEW Productions, the producer of Soldier of Orange - The Musical, the acclaimed historical Dutch theatre experience staged in a revolutionary 360-degree 'surround set' - has found an ideal location in London's Royal Docks, opposite London's City Airport. Subject to planning permission, the producer expects to start building their innovative new theatre by the end of 2019, with the aim of opening a UK-version of Soldier of Orange - The Musical in the second half of 2020: soldieroforange.com
