Princess Theatre is located on Spring Street just a little North of the Parliament of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. The first theatre on this location in 1854; the present theatre opened on 18 December 1886. Since then, the 1488 seat theatre has been remodeled several times. After being remodeled in 1989, it reopened with Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, West Side Story and since then many of other world-wide famous stage productions.
On my visit, the owner of the Princess Theatre, Marriner Theatres, was promoting Jersey Boys.
Designed by William Pitt, the theatre is strikingly flashy "Second Empire" style. The building's beautiful exterior grabs your attention as you walk by!
