Norwich Theatre is thrilled to announce three brand-new, exclusive Backstage Tours. These tours will pull back the curtain on the world of Norwich Theatre Royal, offering an unprecedented look at the inner workings of a major regional theatre and the secrets behind some of today’s most talked-about West End smash hits.

They’ll be your companion, sharing fascinating insights of Norwich Theatre Royal and delving into the rich history of the venue. You’ll explore rarely seen areas such as the Stage Door, the Green Room, the Wardrobe, and the Scene Dock before making your way onto the stage.
