LW Theatres Unveils The Harrison Suite at The London Palladium
Posted 9th December 2024
A tribute to Michael Harrison’s decade of success at the iconic venue
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve officially opened The Harrison Suite, a luxurious new hospitality space for VIP guests at The London Palladium. Named in honour of renowned producer Michael Harrison, the suite celebrates his remarkable contributions to the venue’s success over the past decade.
Harrison’s productions have defined a golden era at The Palladium, featuring two acclaimed runs of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (2019, 2021), The Wizard of Oz (2023), Hello, Dolly! (2024), and an impressive eight pantomime seasons since 2016. His ninth pantomime, Robin Hood, is now playing!
Beyond The Palladium, Harrison has delivered successes at other LW Theatres venues, including Crazy For You (2023–24) and The Wizard of Oz (2024) at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, and The Bodyguard (2012–14) at the Adelphi Theatre. In 2022, his partnership with Andrew Lloyd Webber resulted in the formation of Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals, currently producing Starlight Express (2024) and Jamie Lloyd’s re-imagined Sunset Boulevard (2023–24), starring Nicole Scherzinger.
At the unveiling event, Andrew and Madeleine Lloyd Webber praised Harrison’s legacy:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be able to mark Michael’s remarkable contribution to The London Palladium in this way. Since we took on this iconic theatre, no one has contributed more to its success than Michael, with a remarkable 12 hit productions. It is the least we could do for all he has achieved.”
Michael Harrison expressed his gratitude for the recognition:
“I am deeply honoured that Andrew and Madeleine Lloyd Webber have created this wonderful Suite in my name at the world-famous London Palladium. My feelings for the Palladium run incredibly deep, and it has come as an enormous surprise to receive such a wonderful accolade. The room itself is incredibly beautiful, and I look forward to many a celebratory night in there post-show at my favourite theatre!”
