Prince Edward Theatre original name, reopening with the world première of the musical "Evita" on 21 June 1978. Further renovations were undertaken by RHWL in 1992–93, increasing the size of the stage, reopening 3 March 1993 with a revival of "Crazy for You". The ABBA musical, "Mamma Mia!" premièred here on 6 April 1999, transferring to the Prince of Wales Theatre, after a five-year run. Owned by the Delfont Mackintosh Group, and with a capacity of 1,716, it formerly hosted "Mary Poppins" until 12 January 2008, before the show toured the UK. "Jersey Boys" opened on 18 March 2008 and moved to the
Let It Be (musical) Broadway show, which eventually became the "Rain" Broadway run from 2010-2011. "Rain" claimed that "Let It Be" was essentially the same concept, with similar artwork, costumes, and virtually the same song repertoire, and that "Rain" was entitled to 50% of "Let It Be"'s profits." The case was settled out of court. Let It Be (musical) Let It Be is a West End and Broadway concert revue based on the career of English rock band, The Beatles, from 1962 to their breakup in 1970. The production debuted at the Prince of Wales Theatre on 24 September 2012. (previews from 14 Sep
