Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance

Prince of Wales Theatre

A 1937 streamlined-modern house between Leicester Square and Piccadilly, which is rarer in the West End than Edwardian plasterwork.

West EndPlayhousesWorth it for the building

Phipps built the first one in 1884; Robert Cromie replaced it in 1937 with the building that is there now, which is why it looks like nothing else on the street - flat surfaces, curved corners and no tiers of gilt. It seats about 1,160 and is historically protected.

The Book of Mormon has been in it since 2013 and is the longest run the house has had.
