Venue info

爱德华王子剧院(Prince Edward Theatre)是伦敦的一处剧院场馆,并在 British Theatre 上有专题介绍。欢迎探索即将上演的演出、实用的场馆指南,以及观演前的订票贴士。 爱德华王子剧院(Prince Edward Theatre)以当时的威尔士亲王命名,于1930年4月3日以音乐剧《里奥·丽塔》(Rio Rita)开幕。1935年,剧院被改建为歌舞表演与舞厅,并更名为“伦敦赌场”(London Casino)。此后一直以该名称与节目形式运营至1941年,一次空袭使建筑遭到严重破坏(包括所有窗户被毁)。 1942年,剧院在舞台改造后重新开放,并启用新名称“昆斯伯里全军服务俱乐部”(Queensbury All Services Club),其演出还会通过BBC播出。战后,场馆修复并恢复为传统剧院用途,再次以“伦敦赌场”之名运营。同一批建筑师随后又在1954年将其改建为电影院——“赌场西尼拉玛剧院”(Casino Cinerama Theatre)。 运营约20年后,伯纳德·德尔方特(Bernard Delfont)收购了该建筑(并在过程中安装了新的银幕)。然而,“赌场西尼拉玛剧院”只再维持了数年,便于1978年改回剧院,并恢复原名。 此后,这里很快成为热门音乐剧的“常驻地”。在1980年代与90年代,《贝隆夫人》(Evita,世界首演,同时也是翻新后剧院的揭幕演出)、《国际象棋》(Chess)、《万世流芳》(Anything Goes)、《伊甸园的孩子》(Children of Eden)、《热情似火》(Some Like It Hot)以及《为你疯狂》(Crazy for You)等制作都广受欢迎。进入21世纪后,剧院仍持续上演音乐剧,例如《妈妈咪呀!》(Mamma Mia!)连续上演5年,以及《欢乐满人间》(Mary Poppins)连续上演4年。 Miss Saigon(《西贡小姐》) (2014年5月3日-2016年2月27日)Jersey Boys(《泽西男孩》)(2008年3月18日-2014年3月9日)Mary Poppins(《欢乐满人间》)(2004年12月15日-2008年1月12日)Mamma Mia!(《妈妈咪呀!》) (1999年4月6日-2004年5月27日)West Side Story(《西区故事》)(1998年10月6日-1999年1月9日)Show Boat(《演艺船》)(1998年4月28日-1998年9月19日)Martin Guerre(《马丁·盖尔》)(1996年7月10日-1998年2月28日)Crazy for You(《为你疯狂》)(1993年3月3日-1996年2月24日)Some Like It Hot(《热情似火》)(1992年3月19日-1992年6月20日) 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 22, 23, 38, 88, 94, 139, 159, 453 公园总监唐人街,波兰街。NCP沃德街,登曼街,新普莱斯,酿酒师街。苏荷区,唐人街(Q Park 计划)。 三次呼唤他的名字!蒂姆·伯顿的超自然百老汇巨作终于在2026年5月降临伦敦西区的爱德华王子剧院。立即预订《阴间大法师》的门票,观看这部获得托尼奖提名的音乐喜剧惊艳之作的伦敦首演。 在爱德华王子剧院体验迈克尔·杰克逊的天才。《MJ音乐剧》带您走进1992年危险世界巡演的幕后,探索创作出历史上一些最伟大娱乐节目的创造性思维。节目包含杰克逊的超过25首经典曲目,包括《Billie Jean》、《Thriller》和《Beat It》。荣获四项托尼奖及2025年奥利弗奖最佳编舞奖。 在爱德华王子剧院购买《阿拉丁》——迪士尼全新音乐剧门票。演出阵容、场次时间及演出时长等详情,尽在 BritishTheatre.com 查询。

History

The Prince Edward Theatre, named after the then Prince of Wales, opened on April 3 1930 with the musical Rio Rita. In 1935, the theatre was converted into a cabaret and dance hall and retitled the London Casino. It continued under that name and programme until 1941, when an air raid badly damaged the building (including the destruction of all its windows).

It reopened in 1942 with stage alterations and a new name: the Queensbury All Services Club, with its shows broadcast on the BBC. After the war it was restored to its original theatrical use, once again under the name the London Casino. The same architects would later convert it into a cinema (the Casino Cinerama Theatre) in 1954.

After 20 years of operation, Bernard Delfont acquired the building (and installed a new screen in the process). However, the Casino Cinerama Theatre would only last a few more years and was converted back into a theatre (with its original name) in 1978.

The theatre quickly became the home of popular musicals, with productions such as Evita (a world premiere, and the renovated theatre’s inaugural performance), Chess, Anything Goes, Children of Eden, Some Like it Hot, and Crazy for You proving popular in the 1980s and 90’s. The 21st Century has seen a continued musical presence in the theatre. Examples include the 5 year run of Mama Mia and the 4 year run of Mary Poppins.

MJ The Musical. Postioned in the heart of Soho, you're spoilt for choice for restaurants and bars surrounding the wonderful Prince Edward Theatre. What a fantastic show! If you like MJ and his music, this show is for you. The stage is set beautifully with amazing dancing and singing throughout. I could easily watch this again. Lots of energy and a feel good factor about this show. There's no recording or photos allowed during the performance but lots of opportunities at the end to get some pics and videos. The band were amazing! If you're after a quick cheap bite, ICCO Pizzeria is just over the road and serves lovely pizzas within 5 minutes!

A beautiful theatre with comfortable seating, great acoustics and lovely polite staff. My only critique would be that there are not enough toilets to accommodate for the near 1700 seats especially when the interval hits. You’re better off going at the start and arriving early and hoping you can hold it till you go home. Toilets also didn’t smell the greatest and were a bit shabby looking for a theatre. Food and drinks and merch was a bit pricey but that’s to be expected in London and in theatres so no surprises there.

I attended the MJ show at the Prince Edward Theatre on 24 January 2026 and the performance itself was absolutely outstanding. The cast were phenomenal, the production quality was exceptional, and it was genuinely one of the best shows I’ve seen in London. On performance alone, this would easily be 5 stars. However, the overall experience was unfortunately dampened by the parking situation linked to Q-Park Soho. I specifically chose that car park because of the long-standing 50% theatre parking discount that theatre-goers have relied on for time. After the show, I was told the discount no longer applies to on-site payments and is now only available via pre-booking on the app. There was no clear notice at the car park or theatre web-site explaining this change, and I ended up paying £55 for a few hours. When I raised the issue, Q-Park redirected responsibility to SOLT and theatre management, while the theatre pointed back to Q-Park. As a customer, being caught between organisations each distancing themselves from responsibility is frustrating and disappointing. In hindsight, I could have used the app — but it’s entirely reasonable to assume that paying on-site after a theatre visit would still allow for the advertised discount, as it has done for many years. It’s a shame because the show itself was brilliant. Unfortunately, the lack of clear communication around parking and the absence of goodwill afterwards did take the shine off what should have been a perfect evening.

Mj the musical. It was an amazing Musical, great audio and lighting, set design was immaculate and it was easy to find. BUT the streets were incredibly busy, to the point where I couldn't walk 2 feet before someone bumped into me, and it wasn't because I'm hard to see, I'm 6'5 so I'm not exactly hard to see, it was just so busy that there wasn't anywhere to go. But since this is not the theaters fault I will not deduct points from the review, it's just a warning.⚠️get there at least 30 min in advance, because due to the crowds it might be hard to reach⚠️
