The Theatre opened on 4th October 1999, some 25 years after the first campaign started, and has placed Milton Keynes firmly on the country's cultural map. £19.6 million of National Lottery money kick-started the actual construction of the theatre, and the Milton Keynes Theatre and Gallery Company was set up to continue to develop the project. Further capital to meet the £30 million costs came from English Partnerships (formerly Commission for New Towns) in addition to fundraising in the town. The theatre has enjoyed an enormously successful two seasons since opening. The theatre has the latest state-of-the-art equipment available and can accommodate a vast range of productions, from large-scale West End musicals to smaller, more intimate drama. The auditorium ceiling has been carefully designed to accommodate varying shows and can be raised or lowered depending on the scale of the production. The seating can also be adjusted within the auditorium to vary the capacity from between 900 and 1,400 seats.
