​
The Prince’s Theatre had it's own panto disaster in 1869. In a very small enclosed space a large crowd began to form to await the doors prior to the show and as the doors opened there was a mad rush with the crowds surging forward to get inside.. The result was the people at the front were trampled on, and around 18 people were killed in the stampede with over 40 others injured
