West End Art Deco Luxury Meets Comedy Musical Genius
The Prince of Wales Theatre is a shining example of Art Deco elegance and world-class West End programming. Situated just off Leicester Square, it has become the long-time home of the record-breaking comedy musical The Book of Mormon and is celebrated for its comfort, layout, and consistent quality of performances. The venue is a favourite among Londoners and visitors alike.
Historic Roots
The theatre’s first incarnation opened in 1884 but was completely rebuilt in 1937 in a sleek Art Deco style by architect Robert Cromie. Its relaunch production was Ivor Novello’s Crest of the Wave. The stylish redesign offered improved sightlines, plush seating, and a spacious stage, instantly positioning it among the most forward-looking venues of its time.
Famous Productions and Celebrities
The Prince of Wales has welcomed a parade of iconic stars and productions, including Danny Kaye, Gracie Fields, and Mae West. More recently, it hosted the global sensation Mamma Mia! for many years before becoming the permanent home of The Book of Mormon in 2013. This satirical musical by the creators of South Park has remained one of the hottest tickets in town ever since, earning rave reviews and standing ovations night after night.
Architectural Features
Inside, the theatre offers 1,160 seats across two levels. The auditorium maintains many of its original Art Deco flourishes — from chrome detailing to geometric light fixtures — while also featuring modern upgrades such as air conditioning, a digital ticketing system, and accessible seating.
Location and Experience
Steps away from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, the theatre is surrounded by some of London's most popular dining and nightlife options. The venue’s size makes it perfect for intimate yet high-impact musical performances, and every seat offers an excellent view of the stage. Bars and lounges are available on both levels, and the front-of-house staff are known for their warm welcome.
Current Role in the West End
The Prince of Wales Theatre continues to play a vital role in West End culture, drawing new generations of theatre-goers while paying homage to its glamorous past. Its current production remains a landmark of modern musical theatre and cements the venue as a top-tier destination.
