A Majestic Soho Venue for World-Class Musicals
The Prince Edward Theatre is one of the West End’s most beloved musical venues. Located in the heart of Soho, just off Shaftesbury Avenue, it is a grand and spacious theatre built in 1930 and designed by Edward A. Stone. Over the decades, the venue has seen multiple reincarnations, hosting everything from jazz cabaret to major blockbuster musicals — a legacy that continues today with shows like Aladdin and Mary Poppins.
Art Deco Origins and Storied Past
Originally opened as a musical comedy house, the Prince Edward Theatre began life with the production of Rio Rita. In the 1930s it was converted into a cabaret nightclub (known as the London Casino), before reverting to theatrical use after World War II. It was badly damaged during the Blitz but was restored and reopened in 1954. A full-scale refurbishment in 1993 brought back its Art Deco splendour, updated for the demands of modern productions.
Notable Productions
The Prince Edward has staged numerous major shows over the years including Evita (which premiered here in 1978), Mamma Mia!, Jersey Boys, and the Disney hit Aladdin. It has been the home of The Temptations and Disney's Mary Poppins. The Prince Edward Theatre is currently the home of the award winning MJ the Musical, bringing back the magic of the classic musical with all the spectacle modern audiences expect.
Architectural Details and Audience Comfort
The theatre seats around 1,650 people across three levels. The design features sweeping staircases, rich red and gold décor, and a large stage perfect for elaborate musical sets. Sightlines are excellent throughout the stalls and dress circle, and the venue includes fully air-conditioned spaces, bars on every level, and updated restrooms.
Access and Location
Located on Old Compton Street, the Prince Edward Theatre is surrounded by the vibrant energy of Soho, offering numerous dining and entertainment options. The nearest Tube stations are Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square, both a short walk away.
A Musical Theatre Powerhouse
With its stunning design and impressive list of past productions, the Prince Edward Theatre is one of the crown jewels of London's musical theatre scene. It delivers the scale, comfort, and technical excellence required to stage world-class productions, while offering an intimate and atmospheric setting in the heart of the West End.
