Prince Edward Theatre

The Prince Edward Theatre, named after the Prince of Wales, was opened on 3 April 1930, designed by Edward A. Stone, with an interior designed by Marc-Henry Levi and Gaston Laverdet. It opened with a performance of Rio Rita. Over the years it was used as a cinema and casino, before being converted back to a theatre in 1978, reopening with the world premiere of the musical Evita. The theatre has also showed a revival of Crazy For You, held the premiere of the ABBA musical, Mamma Mia, and hosted Mary Poppins until January 2008.
