Best Places For Live Theatre Toronto

By Mona Diaz


Those living or traveling to Canada will be happy to know that the country has a thriving arts scene which includes plays and musicals. Finding shows should not be too difficult, but there are many different theatres to choose from, so it is best to know what to look for. Here is a guide for some great places to see live theatre Toronto.

One popular local theatre is the Ed Mirvish, which was formally known as the Canon. It was started in 1920 and has continued until the present day, showing a wide variety of plays and musicals. This historic venue holds less than three thousand people, and since it is located at the heart of downtown, there are a number of nearby restaurants and hotels.

Even though the Panasonic Theater was established in 1911 it has gone through many reconstructions and reopening since. The current building has lost much of its historical value, but is still a great venue which shows mostly versions of Broadway musicals. People should note that the box office is closed on Mondays, so make arrangements on some other day.

The Princess of Wales is another popular venue that is found right in the middle of the famous entertainment district of the city. The venue was first built in the 1990s and has since become a popular place to see musical productions. They usually have a lot of modern hits, so it is a good place for people who are into seeing the latest plays and musicals.

For people looking for a bit of history there are the Elgin and Winter Gardens. These two venues are stacked on top of one another and represent the last stacked theaters in the world. Found near the downtown area these two are home to the annual Toronto Film Festival, which is popular worldwide.

These are just a few of the places for live theatre Toronto. There are many different ways for people to get tickets, including many online resources or simply paying a visit to the box office. People in Canada should definitely take advantage of these and other venues in the capital of Ontario.
