Venue info

プリンス・エドワード・シアターは、ロンドンの劇場で、British Theatreでもご紹介しています。ご来場前に、上演予定の作品、会場の実用的な案内、チケット予約に役立つ情報をチェックしてみてください。 プリンス・エドワード・シアターは、当時のプリンス・オブ・ウェールズ(エドワード王子)にちなんで名づけられ、1930年4月3日にミュージカル『Rio Rita』で開場しました。1935年にはキャバレー兼ダンスホールへ改装され、「ロンドン・カジノ(London Casino)」に改称。その名称とプログラムで1941年まで営業を続けましたが、空襲により建物が大きな被害を受け(窓がすべて失われるほどでした)。 1942年には舞台を改修し、新たに「クイーンズベリー・オール・サービスズ・クラブ(Queensbury All Services Club)」として再開。公演はBBCで放送されました。戦後は本来の劇場としての用途へ復帰し、再び「ロンドン・カジノ」の名で運営されます。さらに1954年には同じ建築家が改装を手がけ、映画館「カジノ・シネラマ・シアター(Casino Cinerama Theatre)」へと転用されました。 開館から20年後、バーナード・デルフォントが建物を取得し(その過程で新しいスクリーンも導入)。しかしカジノ・シネラマ・シアターとしての期間は長くは続かず、数年後の1978年に劇場へ再転換され、元の名称に戻りました。 劇場はほどなく人気ミュージカルの拠点となり、1980〜90年代には『Evita』(世界初演であり、改装後劇場のこけら落とし公演)、『Chess』、『Anything Goes』、『Children of Eden』、『Some Like It Hot』、『Crazy for You』などが話題を集めました。21世紀に入ってもミュージカルの存在感は続いており、たとえば『マンマ・ミーア!』の5年ロングランや『メリー・ポピンズ』の4年ロングランなどが挙げられます。 ミス・サイゴン (2014年5月3日~2016年2月27日)ジャージー・ボーイズ (2008年3月18日~2014年3月9日)メリー・ポピンズ(2004年12月15日~2008年1月12日)マンマ・ミーア!

History

The Prince Edward Theatre, named after the then Prince of Wales, opened on April 3 1930 with the musical Rio Rita. In 1935, the theatre was converted into a cabaret and dance hall and retitled the London Casino. It continued under that name and programme until 1941, when an air raid badly damaged the building (including the destruction of all its windows).

It reopened in 1942 with stage alterations and a new name: the Queensbury All Services Club, with its shows broadcast on the BBC. After the war it was restored to its original theatrical use, once again under the name the London Casino. The same architects would later convert it into a cinema (the Casino Cinerama Theatre) in 1954.

After 20 years of operation, Bernard Delfont acquired the building (and installed a new screen in the process). However, the Casino Cinerama Theatre would only last a few more years and was converted back into a theatre (with its original name) in 1978.

The theatre quickly became the home of popular musicals, with productions such as Evita (a world premiere, and the renovated theatre’s inaugural performance), Chess, Anything Goes, Children of Eden, Some Like it Hot, and Crazy for You proving popular in the 1980s and 90’s. The 21st Century has seen a continued musical presence in the theatre. Examples include the 5 year run of Mama Mia and the 4 year run of Mary Poppins.

MJ The Musical. Postioned in the heart of Soho, you're spoilt for choice for restaurants and bars surrounding the wonderful Prince Edward Theatre. What a fantastic show! If you like MJ and his music, this show is for you. The stage is set beautifully with amazing dancing and singing throughout. I could easily watch this again. Lots of energy and a feel good factor about this show. There's no recording or photos allowed during the performance but lots of opportunities at the end to get some pics and videos. The band were amazing! If you're after a quick cheap bite, ICCO Pizzeria is just over the road and serves lovely pizzas within 5 minutes!

A beautiful theatre with comfortable seating, great acoustics and lovely polite staff. My only critique would be that there are not enough toilets to accommodate for the near 1700 seats especially when the interval hits. You’re better off going at the start and arriving early and hoping you can hold it till you go home. Toilets also didn’t smell the greatest and were a bit shabby looking for a theatre. Food and drinks and merch was a bit pricey but that’s to be expected in London and in theatres so no surprises there.

I attended the MJ show at the Prince Edward Theatre on 24 January 2026 and the performance itself was absolutely outstanding. The cast were phenomenal, the production quality was exceptional, and it was genuinely one of the best shows I’ve seen in London. On performance alone, this would easily be 5 stars. However, the overall experience was unfortunately dampened by the parking situation linked to Q-Park Soho. I specifically chose that car park because of the long-standing 50% theatre parking discount that theatre-goers have relied on for time. After the show, I was told the discount no longer applies to on-site payments and is now only available via pre-booking on the app. There was no clear notice at the car park or theatre web-site explaining this change, and I ended up paying £55 for a few hours. When I raised the issue, Q-Park redirected responsibility to SOLT and theatre management, while the theatre pointed back to Q-Park. As a customer, being caught between organisations each distancing themselves from responsibility is frustrating and disappointing. In hindsight, I could have used the app — but it’s entirely reasonable to assume that paying on-site after a theatre visit would still allow for the advertised discount, as it has done for many years. It’s a shame because the show itself was brilliant. Unfortunately, the lack of clear communication around parking and the absence of goodwill afterwards did take the shine off what should have been a perfect evening.

Mj the musical. It was an amazing Musical, great audio and lighting, set design was immaculate and it was easy to find. BUT the streets were incredibly busy, to the point where I couldn't walk 2 feet before someone bumped into me, and it wasn't because I'm hard to see, I'm 6'5 so I'm not exactly hard to see, it was just so busy that there wasn't anywhere to go. But since this is not the theaters fault I will not deduct points from the review, it's just a warning.⚠️get there at least 30 min in advance, because due to the crowds it might be hard to reach⚠️
