Venue info

프린스 에드워드 극장은 British Theatre에 소개된 런던의 극장입니다. 방문 전 예정된 공연을 살펴보고, 유용한 관람 정보와 티켓 예매 팁을 확인해 보세요. 프린스 에드워드 극장(Prince Edward Theatre)은 당시 웨일스 공(Prince of Wales)의 이름을 따서 지어졌으며, 1930년 4월 3일 뮤지컬 《리오 리타(Rio Rita)》로 개관했습니다. 1935년에는 카바레 겸 댄스홀로 용도가 바뀌며 ‘런던 카지노(London Casino)’로 이름을 바꿨고, 1941년 공습으로 건물이 크게 파손될 때까지(창문이 전부 파괴될 정도였습니다) 그 이름과 프로그램을 유지했습니다. 1942년에는 무대 구조를 일부 변경하고 ‘퀸즈버리 올 서비스 클럽(Queensbury All Services Club)’이라는 새 이름으로 재개관했으며, 이곳의 공연은 BBC를 통해 방송되기도 했습니다. 전쟁 이후에는 다시 본래의 극장 용도로 복원되었고, 다시 한 번 ‘런던 카지노’라는 이름을 사용했습니다. 같은 건축가들이 1954년 이 건물을 영화관(‘카지노 시네라마 극장(Casino Cinerama Theatre)’)으로 전환하기도 했습니다. 20년간 운영된 뒤, 베르나르 델퐁(Bernard Delfont)이 이 건물을 인수하면서 새 스크린을 설치했습니다. 그러나 카지노 시네라마 극장의 시절은 몇 년 더 이어졌을 뿐이었고, 1978년 원래 이름을 되찾아 다시 극장으로 전환됐습니다. 이후 이 극장은 곧바로 인기 뮤지컬의 보금자리로 자리 잡았습니다. 1980~90년대에는 《에비타(Evita)》(세계 초연이자 리노베이션을 마친 극장의 첫 공연), 《체스(Chess)》, 《애니씽 고즈(Anything Goes)》, 《칠드런 오브 에덴(Children of Eden)》, 《썸 라이크 잇 핫(Some Like It Hot)》, 《크레이지 포 유(Crazy for You)》 같은 작품들이 관객의 사랑을 받았습니다. 21세기에도 이 극장의 뮤지컬 역사는 꾸준히 이어졌는데, 대표적으로 《맘마미아(Mamma Mia!)》의 5년 장기 공연과 《메리 포핀스(Mary Poppins)》의 4년 공연을 꼽을 수 있습니다. 미스 사이공 (2014년 5월 3일 - 2016년 2월 27일)저지 보이즈 (2008년 3월 18일 - 2014년 3월 9일)메리 포핀스 (2004년 12월 15일 - 2008년 1월 12일)맘마 미아!

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⚠️
