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.

The Princess of Wales Theatre combines the best of both traditional and modern theatre design to provide an ideal setting to view your favourite play or musical production. For additional information about the Princess of Wales Theatre and upcoming concerts and events see the official website.

Princess of Wales Theatre Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating The theatre is easy to access via public transport and a few affordable parking lots ($10 after 6pm). We had orchestra tickets (Row L), the seats were spacious and comfortable (would still suggest end of row seats if you are tall). The pricing for snacks was decent ($10 for a drink & popcorn). The Lion King show was great, and we found it to be a fair price. I initially thought it would be ‘meh’ as they just have masks above their head to represent the animals, but it was wonderful. The cast using other parts of the theatre (not just the stage) for some parts of the show was really fun.

5 Star Rating Always see a great professional show here. So far clear view of the stage, only issue is with Lion King, the music was so loud it drowned out the singers. Probably half of every song could not hear the singers. All the staff we interacted with were great.

4 Star Rating I have been here for two shows- come from away and the lion king! The shows were fantastic with such amazing performances and music! I liked sitting at the orchestra level since the view was really great! For lion king, we sat in the balcony Row A. That row was okay but since there was a ledge, there were some bars on the ledge so it was kind of hard to see the play sitting back in the chairs. So we all had to sit a bit forward to view the entire stage which got a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, the shows and the performances made it really worth it!

4 Star Rating This is obviously going back a few years, but I did attend the LOTR stage show at the Princess of Wales Theatre. a very modem building from the outside, yet similar in charm to our local Royal Theatre on the inside. It was a hot day outside so the cool interior, and the bar for a cold beer, definitely enhanced the show.

5 Star Rating The first time here went to see the Lion King. Nice theater in the entertainment district. I found the staff very friendly and helpful, and it's really nice to have the option to pre-pay your drinks for the intermission. Washrooms were clean and easy to find on all floors. Being a shorter person, I didn't have any issues with the seat size, but I could see how a bigger person may have an issue. All in all, had a great experience at the theater and would definitely return!
