Popular actor Edgar Bruce was built the first theatre at this site. He used his savings which he earned from burlesque The Colonel. He took help of notable architect of his time who was well-known for his best design. The structure was completed in 1884 and called as the Prince of Wales Theatre. It was built in three-tier construction that could occupy thousand of audiences at a time. It was deliberately situated between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square.
