Princess of Wales Theatre Toronto
The elegant Princess of Wales Theatre combines an ingenious blend of modern and traditional theatre design
Opened in 1991, the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto features a blend of the best concepts in theatre design from the last 200 years.
The theatre accommodates up to 2000 guests in comfortable seats, all of which are within 85 feet of one of the largest stages in the continent. There are three seating levels including two horseshoe shaped balconies.
The interior design is finely crafted with terrazzo floors, luminous mosaics of tile and glass, custom made light fixtures, much woodwork of a rare imported mahogany and 10,000 square feet of colourful murals by renowned artist Frank Stella. All of this was accomplished on a very compact plot of land in Toronto's entertainment district.

Princess of Wales Theatre Reviews
Rated
out of 5 I went to see the Lion King, which I absolutely loved the performance. Hilarious & creative it was nothing but magical being a huge fan of the lion king. The performance was 100% a 5/5 from me. I felt chills in my body most of the time. The only reason I give it a 4/5 overall is that I feel like for the price of a ticket there should be ... More from the theatre? Comfier seats? Somewhere to sit while you wait for doors to open ? Decently priced drinks and merchandise? I was also blown away when I was asked if I wanted to purchase a bag... A glorified memorabilia reusable bag for $20... But I still recommend going to see the performance 😊

Went to go see Lion King. It was spectacular! I took my 14 yr old daughter, and if you know anything about teenagers, they hate everything. Well, I'm pleased to say that even SHE loved it. Her favorite part was the elephant.
The theater seats are quite tight, so if you have a robust gyat, you may be a bit uncomfortable.
Our seats were in the orchestra section, last seats to the left, and although we were not in the center of the theater, we did not miss any of the show, the view was still great.
During intermission, you could get refreshments and snacks, including pop, water, alcohol, popcorn, or even an ice cream bar.
This theater is large enough to be fancy but small enough to feel intimate.
I look forward to my next show!

We saw the Lion King here which was a showstopping production. The theater and restrooms are overall well-kept, however, the seating is extremely tight as others have mentioned. Once you're seated, you can barely adjust your posture as there is no room to do so. Because of this, sitting through a 2.5 hour show was quite uncomfortable. If you are over 160cm, I would recommend that you pay a little more to sit in an area closer to the front where there may be more leg room.

Excellent theater with sound and arrangements. Only the sitting space needs to have more space for knees. Not sure whether it would be possible in future. Enjoyed thoroughly the lion king show recently. Will come back soon to watch another great show.
