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.
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.

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!

I loved it 30 years ago and I still love it today. The seats are nice, cushioned in comparison to others and I had enough leg room to cross my legs. I have long legs at 5ft8.
The productions are great and immerse you in the experience. Parking is on-site, underground and affordable. The staff are professional, knowledgeable hold themselves high. Makes you feel like you are somewhere fancy, adds to the experience. Drinks, snacks and clean washrooms!

The Princess of Wales Theatre is a beautiful venue with no issues on the facility side. Staff were friendly and efficient during the entry and exit process, which I appreciated.
However, the overall experience really depends on the crowd. I saw The Lion King, and while the production itself was stunning, I was seated beside a very distracting group and had a rude encounter with someone behind me who complained to staff about my bag rather than politely asking me directly.
While it’s not the theatre’s fault, I’d suggest avoiding weekend shows or kid-heavy productions if you’re looking for a calmer atmosphere. Alternatively, choosing balcony seating might offer a more isolated and peaceful experience, it definitely looked like a better option for solo or quiet viewers.

The venue was accessible and their staff were very helpful. I watched the Lion King musical just recently and the production was great! However, I felt like the audio was not the best. Sometimes it felt like the voices/singing weren't being heard as much. I think the microphones need to be checked. With this, I still had a really good experience in the theatre.

Beautiful venue with great unblocked seating and impressive sound. The staff were all very polite and helpful with inquiries. Parking is nearby and was surprisingly reasonable for a weekend evening (paid $16 on a Saturday night, just a block away from the venue).
