Prince Edward Theatre

May still be running1 with no closing date

2026	Beetlejuice Opened May 17, 2025

These opened in the last three years and carry no closing date. That is the strongest claim the data supports: a closing we don't know about looks exactly like a run still going, and the file was last checked in August 2026. A run that closed last week is still sitting in this list.

By decade13 productions across 4 decades

1. 1960s 8
2. 1970s 2
3. 2000s 2

Counted from the productions we hold, which are Broadway and a partial West End. A quiet decade here can mean a dark theatre and can mean a gap in the record.

• O n the afternoon of my first rehearsal for Anything Goes in 1989, as I walked down Wardour Street in London towards the Prince Edward Theatre, I was shitting myself. I knew the cast had already settled into their rhythms and not only was I arriving as the new American kid, but I was also the somewhat inexperienced American kid. I was rea…Anything Goes - John Barrowman & Carole E. Barrowman
• When I stopped outside the stage door of the Prince Edward Theatre, that plot was still to unfold. The notice above the door read, ‘The World’s Greatest Artistes Have Passed and Will Pass Through These Doors.’ My throat went dry and I had to take a deep breath to stop myself shaking visibly. The sign’s implications were slightly overwhelm…Anything Goes - John Barrowman & Carole E. Barrowman
• It’s easy now to look back on those few awe-inspiring minutes outside the Prince Edward Theatre and interpret those historic signs as being prophetic in some way. It gets even weirder. As I turned back to the theatre, a black cat crossed my path, which in my family is a sign of good luck.Anything Goes - John Barrowman & Carole E. Barrowman

• Evita opened officially in London on 21 June 1978 at the Prince Edward Theatre. The critics almost ran out of superlatives. Elaine Paige starring as Eva Peron scored a great personal triumph. The reviewers felt she sang with power and feeling, dancing well and acting superbly. David Essex also received excellent notices. The score was wel…Harold Prince_ A Director's Journey - Carol Ilson

What this page does not know

• What played here before Broadway record-keeping starts, and what played here outside it: concerts, benefits, film runs, anything that was not a listed production.
• How long 13 of these runs lasted. We don't have a performance count.
• When 11 of these runs ended. They carry an opening date and no closing date, and they are old enough that they certainly closed. Nobody wrote down the date.
• Who built it.
