Em 1884, o Prince’s Theatre abriu suas portas, apresentando uma remontagem de The Palace of Truth. As produções de Breaking a Butterfly e The School for Scandal tiveram sucesso moderado, mas foi a ópera cômica Dorothy que quebrou recordes de bilheteria na época e ajudou a estabelecer a reputação do teatro. De fato, a produção foi tão bem-sucedida que os lucros foram usados para construir o Lyric Theatre. O teatro, renomeado como Prince of Wales Theatre em homenagem ao futuro Eduardo VIII, continuou a receber produções de sucesso ao longo do início do século XX, incluindo Miss Hook of Holland (1907), The Rat (1924, primeiro espetáculo de Ivor Novello), Alibi (1928) e Encore les Dames (1937). O dinheiro arrecadado com essas produções ajudaria a financiar o esforço para reconstruir o teatro após sua demolição em 1937. O teatro reformado foi inaugurado em 27 de outubro daquele mesmo ano. Gerou controvérsia ao apresentar uma série de revistas ousadas que frequentemente iam até às 2h da manhã (Folies De Can-Can, 1938), e por exibir a estreia no Reino Unido do filme de Chaplin, The Great Dictator, o que resultou na multa do proprietário do teatro. Os anos pós-guerra viram o teatro receber numerosos shows de variedades e revistas, estrelando (entre muitos outros) Peter Sellers, Bob Hope, Benny Hill, Frankie Howerd e Morecambe and Wise. O teatro voltou a produzir peças com The World of Susie Wong, em 1959, que teve 832 apresentações.

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.

Seating plan and where to sit

For the best all-round view at the Prince of Wales Theatre, aim for the middle of the Stalls, roughly the centre rows, where you sit level with the stage and take in the full width of the staging. If you prefer height and a clean panoramic sweep, the front and centre of the Circle is the alternative to go for. The theatre holds around 1,100 seats across two main levels, the Stalls and the Circle, with four small Loge boxes set at the sides of the Circle.

Level	Best for	Worth knowing
Stalls	The best overall view, level with the stage and close to the action	The largest section. Central rows are the sweet spot. The rear rows sit under the Circle overhang, so the very top of the set can be trimmed.
Circle	A wide panoramic view of the full stage picture from above	Front and centre rows are excellent. A safety rail runs along the front, so a couple of front seats have it in the sightline. Reached by a long climb of stairs with no lift.
Loges (side boxes)	Budget seats and a bit of privacy	Four small boxes at the sides of the Circle. They sit at a sharp angle to the stage, so part of the picture is lost. Choose these to save money rather than for the view.

Best seats at the Prince Of Wales Theatre

The venue is fairly wide and generously raked, so sightlines are good across most of the house, which suits the big set pieces in The Book of Mormon. The strongest seats are in the centre of the Stalls, a handful of rows back, where you are close enough to read the performances but far enough to take in the whole stage. The front and centre of the Circle is the pick for anyone who likes a raised, panoramic angle, and that central block usually falls into the top price band.

Seats to check before you book

The Circle overhang cuts across the rear of the Stalls, beginning around the middle of the section, so seats towards the back can lose the very top of the staging. In the Circle, the safety rail along the front means one or two front-row seats have it crossing the sightline, so check the seat photo before committing. The Loge boxes at the sides are the most compromised seats in the house, as their steep side angle hides a portion of the stage. Seats at the far ends of rows sit against walls rather than aisles, which is worth noting if you want easy access.

Best value

The best value tends to sit in the rear rows of the Stalls and the Circle, where prices ease but sightlines stay largely intact thanks to the wide, well-raked layout. The Loge boxes are usually the cheapest option, though only worth it if the saving matters more to you than a full view. If you are not sure which level suits you, our West End seating guide explains how the levels compare. Compare live prices and seat availability across every section at The Book of Mormon.

What visitors say

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!

Frequently asked questions

Where are the best seats at the Prince Of Wales Theatre?

The best overall view is from the centre of the Stalls, a few rows back, where you sit level with the stage and see the full width of the staging. If you prefer a raised, panoramic angle, the front and centre of the Circle is the top choice.

Which seats have restricted views at the Prince Of Wales Theatre?

The rear of the Stalls sits under the Circle overhang, which can trim the top of the set. A safety rail along the front of the Circle crosses the sightline of one or two front seats, and the side Loge boxes lose part of the stage because of their steep angle.

How many seats does the Prince Of Wales Theatre have?

The theatre holds around 1,100 seats across two main levels, the Stalls and the Circle, with roughly 666 in the Stalls and around 453 in the Circle. Four small Loge boxes sit at the sides of the Circle.

Is there step-free or accessible seating at the Prince Of Wales Theatre?

Step-free access is in the Stalls, which has wheelchair spaces at the back plus step-free transfer seats near the front, all reachable without steps from the foyer. The Circle is reached by a long flight of stairs with no lift, so it is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility.

What is the best value seating for The Book of Mormon?

The rear rows of the Stalls and Circle usually offer the best value, with easier prices but sightlines that stay largely intact thanks to the wide, well-raked layout. The Loge boxes are typically cheapest, but only worth it if the saving matters more than a full view.
