Toronto, Canada, is the third-largest theatre centre in the
English-speaking world. Few cities in North America can offer anything
approaching the variety and quality of its stage productions; none can
equal the number and splendour of its theatres. And in Toronto, the
finest and best-loved of those theatres are the Royal Alexandra, the Princess of Wales and the Canon.
Located only a block apart, on downtown King St. West, the Royal Alexandra and Princess of Wales form the heart of Toronto's "Entertainment District", an area including the city's finest hotels and restaurants and such major attractions as Roy Thomson Hall, the CN Tower, SkyDome and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The newest additions to the Mirvish family of theatres are the Canon (formerly known as the Pantages) and the Panasonic. The elegant Canon Theatre - a beautifully restored 1920s vaudeville and motion picture palace - is on Yonge Street, just below Dundas, right across the street from the Eaton Centre, with box office entrance at the rear of the building, at 244 Victoria Street. The intimate Panasonic is a brand-new theatre, built on the site of the old New Yorker Theatre, at At 651 Yonge St., just south of Bloor St. Please click here for information on listening systems and special needs seating | |
