Prince of Wales Theatre – Best seats and seating plan
Originally named Prince’s Theatre in 1884, the first production at the Prince of Wales Theatre was a comic opera called Dorothy, which became the longest-running production at the time. For much of its existence until it was reconstructed in 1937, The Prince of Wales staged a series of French-style revues, becoming known as London's Folies Bergère. It was not until the mid- 20th century that musicals played a dominant role in the theatre’s history once again.
