During the First World War, Novello Theatre was under management husband and wife Julia Neilson and Fred Terry. The entrance to the theatre pit was bombed in a Zeppelin raid and 19 bombs hit the Strand. The performance underway at the Novello Theatre throughout the bombings was of The Scarlet Pimpernel, with Fred Terry as Sir Percy Blakeney. In line with theatrical tradition, Fred managed to calm the audience and 'the show went on'.

Visit the Novello Theatre this year for the hit ABBA musical we just can't get enough of. More than two decades after the production first premiered, Mamma Mia! continues to provide a boost of happiness, hope and music to anyone who watches it.
Telling the story of a young woman on a mission to find her father, the strength of a mother-daughter relationship and a wedding in Greece, Mamma Mia! is a heartfelt watch for all, with an added bonus of plenty of ABBA's most iconic songs.
