PIN Prince Edwards Theatre

History

It was built in 1930 by Edward A. Stone, and it was named after Prince Edward. It opened as a theatre but was soon converted to a dance and cabaret hall called "London Casino." During the war, it became a club where shows on the BBC were broadcasted. Then after the war it was used again for theatrical uses, where films were screened until 1978 when it made a final return to theatre; and when it would have its first musical "Evita" (directed by Andrew Lloyd Weber.)

"Aladdin was the first ever show I have seen, let alone a West End Show. My mind was absolutely blown, this was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. "
"Fantastic - one of the best musicals I've been too"
"The theatre has a great atmosphere and staff were friendly and helpful. "
