For the theatre known as the Prince of Wales's Theatre between 1865 and 1882, see Scala Theatre. For others, see Prince of Wales Theatre (disambiguation).
The Prince of Wales Theatre is a West End theatre in Coventry Street, near Leicester Square in London. It was established in 1884 and rebuilt in 1937, and extensively refurbished in 2004 by Sir Cameron Mackintosh, its current owner.
