• Shaftesbury Theatre (1962)
• Prince's Theatre (1914)
• New Prince's Theatre (1911)

The building was badly bombed in 1940-1941 but it stayed open. In 1962, it was renovated and reopened with a new name. It was saved from demolition between 1968 and 1974 and led to the founding of the Theatres Trust, which protects endangered theatres.

---

Renamed in 1962 in honor of the original Shaftesbury Theatre which was destroyed during bombings in World War II.

---

On July 20, 1973, after a performance of Hair, part of the ceiling collapsed and the theatre remained closed until a revival of West Side Story played there in December of 1974.
