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.

out of 5 Had an excellent experience coming to this theatre for the first time to see Aladdin. The seats can definitely use a couple more inches in leg room. The washrooms are upgraded, however were not cleaned or maintained/checked after each show (one booth was clogged). I like that there is secure paid parking underground of the theatre, with many parking spaces available. The snacks and beverages offered here are pricey as expected, yet have a decent variety. Overall, I would recommend this theatre to anyone for kids and adults.

The view from row D seat 40 had great sight lines. Comfortable seats, ample room. The staff were very accommodating, offering directions to the facilities, the lounge and to the seats. A great place to see a play.

I need more than 5 stars for this one, because seeing Hamilton at the Princess of Wales theatre was absolutely incredible! Firstly, the performance was absolutely astonishing. The talent and the production itself are outstanding. The seating in the theatre is comfortable, and it seems that the stage is completely visible from any seat in the house. The acoustics in this visually stunning building are fantastic, you could hear a pin drop on stage if you had to. This was such a memorable experience - we’ve decided to come back and see SIX!

Visited the Princess of Wales theatre for a viewing of Hamilton the Musical. The location is a very short walk from public transit (one subway stop away from union station and then a 2 min walk). We purchased our tickets in advance and arrived 20 minutes prior to the showtime. The process was easy and quick to get to our seats. There was an elevator option for accessibility, as well as stairs, to every level. The washrooms were very well kempt, however line ups were long for men and women’s washrooms in between show times. There was a gender neutral wheelchair accessible washroom available with low wait times.
The show itself was wonderful! The sound quality and viewing quality was great even from the seats at the back of the theatre.

Great place with a great atmosphere! Hamilton is amazing! One star minus for the huge line for washrooms and water that you need to pay. There's no way to have just a free glass of water. Please, guys, people paid 130 CAD for a ticket. Keep having good control over those who try to take photos during plays and those who are late.
