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

4 Star Rating Amazing theatre. Seen a bunch of shows here. Seats are tight and close together, especially for a bit of a plus size person but it’s not unbearable. Just slightly uncomfortable but the shows more than make up for it. Recently used on site parking and it seemed reasonable $20. They have attendants that help with traffic on road and sidewalk which was very helpful. Staff have always been pleasant and helpful.

4 Star Rating Recently, I went to see the performance Wicked! Excellent show, and the seats were comfy, however, not a lot of legroom for those tall folks. Facilities were clean, but the sink in the men's room was not easily operable (a small button on the wall under the counter of all places...). Staff were all friendly, show started on time, and the building was accessible for those in need of extra care.

4 Star Rating I went to see Wicked here this weekend. The show production was top notch. Great show and amazing special effects. The seats aren’t the most comfy if you have long legs.

5 Star Rating I love this beautiful theatre named after princess Diana with its beautiful architecture and interior design also featuring some great works of art. Is accessible by elevators. If I may snobbishly name one thing ( and the only thing) I don’t like about this theatre it would be the strange bathroom sink that despite almost being a work of art, is very strange and non practical.

5 Star Rating Love this theatre. Great sight lines, great shows, lots of nearby places to eat, and ample parking. Reasonably close to the Subway if that's your thing. Most recently saw Wicked. It's a family favourite. Tremendous show. Highly recommended. Do yourself a favour and check it out if you can. You will not regret it.
