The producers of new musical Stalled have donated £35,000 to totally transform King’s Head Theatre’s auditorium with luxury seating.
The new raked seats will be in place in February for the world premiere of the new musical about mothers, daughters and moving on, and to celebrate the theatre’s first birthday in its new home.
As Stalled starts rehearsals, the producers also announce a gala night on 18 February to raise funds for The Looking Out Foundation, founded by Grammy-winning artist Brandi Carlile.
The Accolade seating is being supplied by renowned seating experts Audience Systems, whose clients include Sydney Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall and Roundhouse.
The luxury padded seats will be in place for the theatre’s next Main House production – the world premiere of the musical Stalled – thanks to a generous £35,000 donation by a foundation facilitated by the show’s producers.
The theatre is launching a fundraising campaign for the outstanding £15,000 needed which will allow the theatre to improve sightlines to its second row and add some accessibility features.

Stalled Producer Thomas Hopkins said today: “We are thrilled to support King’s Head Theatre by funding the installation of all-new seats for our upcoming musical, Stalled. The producers are dedicated to ensuring a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for every audience member. We can’t wait for everyone to relax and enjoy the show in style!”
King’s Head Theatre’s Executive Producer (Acting CEO) Sofi Berenger said: “We’re eternally grateful for this incredibly generous donation from the Stalled producers and the foundation. As we begin our second year in our new home, it’s wonderful to be able to continue to grow and improve on our audience facilities. We’ve only ever been able to make it this far thanks to the invaluable support we’ve received from the producing community and philanthropic investors, as we receive no public funding. These seats will be a game changer for our audiences, and we can’t wait for them to arrive in February ready to be enjoyed for Stalled and many more shows to come.”
