Prince Edward Theatre, Theatre in West End, London, England
The Prince Edward Theatre occupies a prominent location on Old Compton Street near Leicester Square, featuring an art deco auditorium with fuchsia and gold decorations.
Edward A. Stone designed the theatre, which opened in April 1930 with Rio Rita musical, requiring an investment that surpassed 400,000 pounds for its construction.
The venue served as the Queensberry All Services Club during World War II, broadcasting entertainment shows to British Forces stationed across different locations worldwide.
The theatre contains 1,716 seats and maintains a box office that opens two and a half hours before performances, remaining accessible until 15 minutes after curtain time.
In 1954, the building underwent extensive modifications to accommodate three projection boxes and a large screen for Cinerama presentations, marking its temporary conversion into a cinema.
