The elegant Princess of Wales Theatre combines an ingenious blend of modern and traditional theatre design

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.

Princess of Wales Theatre Reviews
Rated out of 5
Amazing theatre. Seen a bunch of shows here. Seats are tight and close together, especially for a bit of a plus size person but it’s not unbearable. Just slightly uncomfortable but the shows more than make up for it. Recently used on site parking and it seemed reasonable $20. They have attendants that help with traffic on road and sidewalk which was very helpful. Staff have always been pleasant and helpful.

Smashing IT!
Take a step into the world of mystery and magic. Let your senses take a ride and let your heat bet that extra step.
That's the magic of theatre folks.
This is such a lovely place to enjoy great theatre or a movie during TIFF.
And it really doesn't matter where you sit in the theatre. It's built to ensure that you have a perfect view of the stage/screen from any seat.
If you're really adventurous and don't mind the height, I'd suggest getting balcony steats!
There is definitely an unexplained magic that you feel and experience the moment you walk into the Princess of Wales Theatre.
So buy a ticket and be prepared to have your breath taken away.

Wicked at the Princess of Wales theatre was fantastic! I have been trying to go for years, and finally found the time. Great music, talented cast, fun story, and beautiful venue. Could just do without the abysmal traffic getting there!!

Took my daughter to shrek the musical. Very beautiful theatre. The seats were comfortable and had good leg room for people who were taller. Good ambiance, and we loved the ceiling. Would watch another play in this theatre.
