History

In 1884, the Prince’s Theatre opened, presenting a revival of The Palace of Truth. Productions of Breaking a Butterfly and The School for Scandal proved moderately successful, but it was the comic opera Dorothy broke box office records for the time and helped establish the theatres reputation. In fact, the production was so successful that the profits were used to build the Lyric Theatre.

The theatre, renamed the Prince of Wales Theatre after the future Edward VIII, continued to host successful productions throughout the early 20th Century, including Miss Hook of Holland (1907), The Rat (1924, Ivor Novello’s first play), Alibi (1928), and Encore les Dames (1937). The money made from the later productions would help fund the effort to rebuild the theatre after its demolition in 1937.

The improved theatre opened on 27 October that same year. It courted controversy by running a series of risqué revues that often ran until 2am (Folies De Can-Can, 1938), and screening the UK premiere of the Chaplin film The Great Dictator, which resulted in the theatre’s owner being fined.

The post-war years saw the theatre host numerous variety and revue shows, which starred (among many others) Peter Sellers, Bob Hope, Benny Hill, Frankie Howerd, and Morecambe and Wise. It returned to producing plays with 1959’s The World of Susie Wong, which ran for 832 performances.

In the following years, the theatre would become host to several musicals, including Funny Girl, Sweet Charity, Aspects of Love, Mama Mia!, and the Broadway smash hit The Book of Mormon.

Like many theatres, this has that old school charm. The Prince of Wales theatre is not that big but I think that's what gives it it's charm. There is still room for a bar and seating areas within the buildings nooks and crannies. We were seated in the boxes at the side and while the view may have been slightly restricted at times it was still an excellent viewing point. We went to see the "Book Of Mormon" which is excellent - I have reviewed that on "Book Of Mormon" on Google Maps. GOOD 👍 Really helpful and engaging staff. They really took an interest. BAD 👎 The lift only goes to certain floors. The staff were there to assist though.

We are clearly warned that the current show, The Book of Mormon, contains strobe lighting and flashing effects. While this information is provided, these lighting effects can be genuinely harmful for people who suffer from epilepsy or other conditions triggered by visual light stimulation. I have not been formally diagnosed with any specific condition, but since the widespread introduction of LED lighting, I have found it increasingly difficult to tolerate shows that rely heavily on intense, flashing, or high-contrast lighting effects. What may be entertaining for some can be physically distressing for others. Would it be possible to consider, at least once a year — for example on International Epilepsy Day (26 March) or on International Day of Persons with disabilities — a performance without strobe or harmful flashing effects? This would be a meaningful step toward inclusion, allowing patrons who are sensitive to lighting effects to experience live theatre safely. Additionally, the theatre’s façade, with its giant digital screen, bright lights, and harsh, cold illumination, contributes to the growing issue of excessive artificial lighting in urban environments. It raises a broader question about the need for stronger legislation in the UK to curb light pollution and promote more responsible lighting practices. To promote this, all Theater could switch off the outside illumination after each show on International Dark Sky Week IDSW 3026: April 13-20, 2026. IDSW 2027: April 5-11, 2027. IDSW 2028: April 24-30 2028 Stars 🧑‍🎨👩‍🌾🎭 would see the stars ✨💫🌟 after their own show. Noctual biodiversity will strive, diurnal biodiversity would benefit from a good night sleep… and human like myself will be able to walk past the theater without a long trimed hat and sun glasses.

Watched The Book of Mormon here and it was amazing! The show is hilarious and the seats we had were excellent for the price - we didn’t see one character but it was someone on stage for max 1 minute and wasn’t too important. Definitely recommend you go and watch!
