The Building Design of the Prince of Wales Theatre

There has been a theatre on the site of The Prince's Theatre since 1884. The architect for the original building was C J Phipps.The foyer of the old Prince's theatre was designed with a Moorish flavour. The three-tier auditorium was decorated in shades of white, cream and gold. Contrasting with stronger earth colours for the curtains and the upholstery. In 1937 The Prince of Wales' Theatre was demolished and the current Prince of Wales theatre was built. The architect Robert Cromie was commissioned to taylor the theatre specifically to house revue shows. Changes included a large stalls bar, complete with dance floor.

The History of the Prince of Wales Theatre

From 1932 the theatre developed a popular reputation for daring and risqué revues. During the 1950's the theatre was home to variety. But in 1959 the trend changed with the staging of The World of Suzie Wong, which enjoyed a long run.
Funny Girl transferred from Broadway in 1966 with the young Barbara Streisand in the leading role of Fanny Brice. Two other Broadway hits followed, Sweet Charity and Promises, Promises. The show that smashed all previous records was Andrew Lloyd Webber's Aspects of Love (1989).
The Prince of Wales closed for renovation in July 2003. The theatre was reopened by the Prince of Wales in 2004 when he attended a Gala performance of Mamma Mia!
The Prince of Wales is owned and managed by Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Limited.
