Nuevo Teatro Alcalá

Nuevo Teatro Alcalá, Theatre and entertainment centre in Madrid, Spain

Nuevo Teatro Alcalá occupies a white multi-storey building at Jorge Juan 62, its facade pierced by a large central arch framing recessed glass doors and windows, with gold capital letters reading "NUEVO TEATRO" below the arch and a dark metal railing along the roofline. Inside, the main hall holds more than 1,300 spectators, and a second hall named after actress Margarita Xirgu sits in the basement.

The Coliseo Pardiñas opened on 20 February 1926, designed by Luis Ferrero Tomás. In the 1950s and 1960s it operated as Cine Alcalá, and as Alcalá Palace it hosted the 1975 premiere of the musical Jesucristo Superstar. After closing between 1995 and 2001, it was bought by Alejandro Romay and restored by the DAU studio under architect Margarita Massó. It reopened on 29 January 2003 with Tanguera, and its basement hall, named after actress Margarita Xirgu, opened on 25 September 2003 with Venecia.

The theatre's name comes from its years as the Alcalá Palace, and its stage has hosted long-running musicals such as Cabaret, Grease, Dirty Dancing and Billy Elliot. The basement hall is named after the actress Margarita Xirgu, and the Spanish premiere of Wicked was scheduled for autumn 2025 under director David Serrano.

The theatre stands at Calle de Jorge Juan 62, in the Salamanca district east of the city centre. The entrance is the large rounded stone arch on the street facade, with the box office and lobby behind the glass doors. The two halls are on different levels: the main auditorium at street level and the Margarita Xirgu hall in the basement, reached by stairs or lift inside.

The second stage has an unusual circular shape that enables smaller and specialized performances. This hall regularly hosts children's productions and shows with reduced casts.
