Prince of Wales Theatre, West End theatre in Coventry Street, London
The Prince of Wales Theatre contains 1,160 seats across multiple levels and features an Art Deco architectural design with modern technical facilities.
Charles J. Phipps designed the original Prince's Theatre in 1884, which was later renamed Prince of Wales Theatre in 1886 after the future Edward VII.
The theatre staged Marie Tempest in Dorothy during the 1880s, establishing a record as the longest-running musical theatre production of that period.
The box office opens two and a half hours before performances, while the venue provides wheelchair access and hearing enhancement systems for visitors.
Gracie Fields placed the foundation stone of the current building on June 17, 1937, marking the start of Robert Cromie's Art Deco reconstruction.
