Imperial Theatre (Tokyo)

The Imperial Theatre (帝国劇場, Teikoku Gekijō), often referred to simply as the Teigeki (帝劇), and previously the Imperial Garden Theater, is a Japanese theater located in Marunouchi, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan operated by Toho.

Opened on March 11, 1911 as the first Western-style theater in Japan, it stages a varied program of musicals and operas. The original structure was rebuilt in 1966 as Toho's "flagship" theater, opening with the premiere of Scaretto, a local adaptation of Gone With the Wind, which drew 380,000 attendees over the course of the theater's first five months of operation.

The theatre is set to temporarily close in mid-February 2025 as part of a redevelopment plan that will involve reconstructing the building.
