| Description: |
| The Princess Theatre first opened it’s doors on Wednesday 7th June 1961. Top of the bill on the opening night were the late, great Tommy Cooper and the legendary Morecambe and Wise.The theatre was built by Torbay Council as the main
feature of the redevelopment of the Princess Gardens area on Torquay seafront. The theatre replaced a marquee which
was erected annually to house light entertainment.
Theatres in seaside resorts are traditionally known for their annual Summer Season consisting of light entertainment and
family variety shows and Torquay is no exception. In the past the Princess Theatre has seen artistes such as Jim Davidson,
Jethro and Jimmy Cricket making regular appearances. However Summer 2002 saw a change from the traditional line-up to a
6 week run consisting of two West End musicals Grease and Chicago. Summer 2003 saw a similar occurrence, featuring the
Blues Brothers, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and Boogie Nights, with musicals
proving to be a popular choice for the local people of Torbay as well as the holidaymakers. |
