🌟 OPENS IN 10 DAYS!
We can't wait to welcome the delicious feast "full of glow and passion" (North West End UK ), 💃 Copla: A Spanish Cabaret that explores the traditional Spanish songs and celebrates q***r migrant identity: https://theotherpalace.co.uk/copla-a-spanish-cabaret/.

Copla, practically unknown in England, is essential to Spain’s cultural and political history. It once served as political tool against repression – first under Franco’s dictatorship, and later for Spanish LGBTQ communities 🌈. Copla songs channel the q***r and migrant experiences in Spain’s early musicals, hitting all the right notes for gay people who love to laugh and cry to divas and their melodramatic music.

📅 Dates: 14-26 January 2025.
🎟 Tickets from £20.

Our Story

The Other Palace has an extraordinary history dating back to 1766 when it began life as the Charlotte Chapel. By 1924 the chapel had fallen into disrepair and was converted into a cinema called the St. James' Picture Theatre. In 1931 the cinema reopened as the Westminster Theatre, with the chapel's crypt becoming dressing rooms, green room and stalls bar.

The theatre fell dark in 1990 and after a long campaign to save it from demolition, it was destroyed by a fire in 2002. Following the loss of the theatre, the Theatres Trust and Save London's Theatres campaign fought continuously to reinstate a theatre on site. In 2009 Westminster council granted planning permission for a theatre to be built.

In 2012 the current theatre opened as St. James Theatre, featuring a 312-seat main theatre and a 120-seat studio theatre. The prominent artistic and social destination offered a varied programme of drama, musical theatre, cabaret and jazz.

St. James Theatre was acquired by Andrew Lloyd Webber's LW Theatres Group in 2016. After closing its doors in January 2017 for refurbishment, the theatre reopened in Feb 2017 as The Other Palace, the home of musical theatre.
