History

Opened as The Prince Edward Theatre in 1930 as a multi-purpose theatre able to show musicals, revue and films. The theatre reopened as The London Casino on 2nd April, 1936 following a conversion into a cabaret restaurant, which became particularly noted for it's lavish stage shows. During the Second World War it was used as a club for servicemen under the name of The Queensbury All Services Club. In 1946 musicals and revues returned briefly. In 1954 the theatre was converted to screen the new 'Cinerama' film spectaculars.

In 1978, when the musical Evita started a run of nearly eight years, the theatre reverted to its original name, The Prince Edward Theatre. Other musicals here have included Chess, and the Broadway revival production of Cole Porters Anything Goes which was followed by three rather short lived musicals - Some Like It Hot, Children of Eden and The Hunting of the Snark. From late 1992 to early 1993 the theatre was extensively and completely refurbished, reopening on 18 Feb 1993 with the Broadway production of the reworked Gershwin musical Crazy For You.
