Join us for a guided one-hour walking tour of the Princess of Wales Theatre, a 2,000-seat state-of-the-art playhouse that showcases the best in both traditional and contemporary design.
Built by the father and son producing team of David and Ed Mirvish, the Princess of Wales Theatre opened on May 26, 1993, with the Canadian premiere of Miss Saigon. Designed by architect Peter Smith, with an interior design by the (then up-and-coming) world renowned design firm Yabu Pushelberg, and featuring artwork by the brilliant Frank Stella, it was the first privately-built, stand-alone theatre in North America in over 50 years – and the first in Canada since the historic Royal Alexandra Theatre, (located just one block away), opened in 1907. The theatre has since become the premier home of classic and contemporary musical productions.
