The Princess Theatre first opened its doors on Wednesday 7th June 1961. Top of the bill on the opening night were the late, great Tommy Cooper and the legendary Morecombe and Wise.
Since then the Princess Theatre has seen a wide variety of entertainment including comedians, musicals and West End shows and of course the pantomime for all the family.
The Agatha Christie Company also pay us an annual visit to the theatre during the Agatha Christie Festival week in September.
The Princess Theatre also offers some hilarious entertainment with several top comedians visiting each year such as Jasper Carrott, Jim Davidson, Joe Pasquale, Roy Chubby Brown and Ken Dodd.
The Princess Theatre really does offer something for everyone and this is evident by the high number of sell out shows each year. So, for a great night out on the English Riviera why not take in an evening of entertainment at Torquay’s Premier Theatre.
Tickets can be purchased via the box office either in person or calling 0844 871 3023. Online at www.atgtickets.com/torquay . There are various outlets throughout Torbay to book too so contact the venue for more details. Please note debit and credit cards carry a booking fee.
