The New Gaiety Theatre built on the corner of Aldwych and the Strand. 'The Orchid', which is showing there, was the first play to be performed in the new theatre in October 1903. It starred musical comedy actress Gertie Millar. The new building replaced the original Gaiety Theatre which closed in July 1903 when the Strand was redeveloped.
