Completed in 1921 and named for its initial tenant, the first of Irving Berlin's MUSIC BOX REVUES, the intimate Music Box Theatre is one of Broadway's loveliest houses. But when a king comes to visit, especially in the Olivier Award-winning Best New Play, KING CHARLES III, a little sprucing up is in order.
Check out these photos detailing the Music Box Theatre's recent face lift, including a snazzy new yellow marquee. His majesty should be pleased.
The critically acclaimed Olivier Award-winning Best New Play, King Charles III, is soon to open on Broadway this fall. The highly anticipated play about Britain's future king, will begin previews October 10, 2015, with opening night set for November 1, 2015 at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street, NYC). Check out photos of the marquee below!
The cast is led by Tim Pigott-Smith, reprising his much-raved-about role as King Charles III, withOliver Chris as William, Richard Goulding as Harry, Adam James as Mr. Evans,Margot Leicester as Camilla, Miles Richardson as James Reiss, Tom Robertson as Couttsey and other roles, Sally Scottas Sarah and other roles, Tafline Steen as Jess and Lydia Wilson as Kate.

The Queen is dead. After a lifetime of waiting, Prince Charles ascends the throne. A future of power lies before him...but how to rule? Winner of the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Play, King Charles III is the "bracingly provocative and outrageously entertaining" (The Independent) drama of political intrigue by Mike Bartlett that comes to Broadway following a sensational West End run. Directed byRupert Goold and deemed "the most insightful and engrossing new history play in decades" by Ben Brantley of The New York Times, this "bold and brilliant" (The Times of London) production explores the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of Britain's democracy and the conscience of its most famous family.
