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.

An unforgettable experience! Princess of Wales Theatre is absolutely stunning—elegant, clean, and perfectly organized. The sound and lighting were flawless, and every seat had a great view. Staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. Whether it’s a Broadway hit or a local gem, this venue delivers top quality every time. Highly recommend for a night out in Toronto!

Helpful staff, easy to find washrooms/lounge/gift shop. Seat letters and numbers are clearly marked. Washrooms with plenty of stalls and fairly well maintained/clean. Doors open 30 min prior to performance. Have theatre ticket ready to scan when you walk in. Watched the Lion King - amazing performance with outstanding lights/sound/stage props!!

At first i was hesitant to watch this stage show but may 2 daughter insist they want to watch this show. Because i was thinking this is a kid show.... after i watched it i know i was wrong fantastic and impressive.
The Lion King is a must-watch if you are in Toronto. Ticket can be bought online or at site. Price is expensive but worth it.the show is really a Masterpiece of perfectly blend of art at music at the very start of the show breathtaking puppetry & costumes Giant elephants parade down the aisle, giraffes and the savanna comes alive with stunning artistry really impressive. Of course the music and the soundtrack make every scene more realistic every performer are great and act professionally even the lighting and shadow props are places perfectly that make every scene a breathtaking impression. GREAT SHOW 👍
