The Theatre Royal is an art-deco theatre in Norwich, Norfolk, England. It hosts a large range of touring productions. The theatre had a £10m refurbishment in 2007, designed by Tim Foster Architects.
A traditional family pantomime is produced in-house annually for the Christmas season each year. In addition, it regularly attracts a host of touring theatre productions.
The second Theatre Royal (previous to the building pictured) was built in 1826. The popular magician Ching Lau Lauro received his only bad review there, from the Norfolk Chronicle, in 1828.
