About The Theatre<\/a> Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed in 1930 by Edward Stone (also an architect for Piccadilly theatre), and named after Prince Edward (then the Prince of Wales, briefly Edward VIII and later Duke of Windsor), the Prince Edward theatre opened its doors on April 3, 1930 with a performance of the musical Rio Rita. Originally a large draper\u2019s store, this art deco styled theatre was converted to a dance and cabaret hall, being renamed the “London Casino”, and renamed again as the “Queensberry All Services Club” in 1942. After the war, where it was badly damaged and lost all of its windows, it became the London Casino once again and in 1954 was converted to a cinema using Cinerama technology from New York, reopening as “Castino Cinerama Theatre”.<\/p>\n

Eventually in the 1970\u2019s, after the demand for Cinerama died down, the theatre became known as a house for musicals, hosting shows like Evita, Chess, Anything Goes, Crazy For You, Mamma Mia, Mary Poppins and Miss Saigon. Having renovated the theatre for nearly three million pounds, Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Ltd. continues to renovate the theatre between productions, making the facilities exemplary and one of the most desirable spaces in the West End.<\/p>\n
