The Leicester Square Theatre's auditorium was radically altered in 1968 when the Theatre's balcony was removed and the interior was reconstructed by the architects Arnold Dick Associates, with interior designs by Cassidy, Farrington and Dennys. The original projection box and the ceiling of the Theatre were hidden beneath a false ceiling at this time but still remain, albeit in a very sorry state after all these years. Click on the thumbnails to see some of these remaining fragments and the Theatre's original fly tower and compare them with the photograph of the auditorium before the 1968 conversion (centre). The stage itself is not visible because it was used as part of the lower cinema when the Theatre was twinned in 1991.
