A beautiful theatre to behold. A wonderful stage and inviting foyer. Most seats offer a decent view of the stage. Ushers should be more strict about preventing latecomers from entering.

Cheryl Duggan

Sat up under the rafters for Jersey Boys today. Pretty good view clear over everyone's head. So good in fact that during intermission others were playing musical chairs for seats on either side of me.

Steve Johnston

Beautiful lobby and great sight lines from all around the theatre . Plenty of spots to get concessions, and very well-trained staff .

Tracy Jennings

Beautiful old theatre in the heart of downtown, formerly known and loved as the Pantages back in the Phantom of the Opera days. Great range of Mirvish shows play here.

Seats are a little cramped; There're more restrooms , accessed from the back of the theatre (go to the top row of the balcony level, at either side of the theatre ) - these are pretty empty

There're 2 entrances - Victoria Street and Yonge Street . The box office is on the Victoria Street side (pictured)

Side balconies and centre seats are the best. The seating plan diagram isn't the most accurate representation of what seating's actually like at the theatre .

Michal Borkowski

Great venue. Plus, you can prepay for wine before the show starts so that you do not need to wait in line during intermission .

Jessica Han

The theatre itself is so beautiful inside. The show was amazing and I have not been so delighted and on the edge of my seat in so long. AMAZING

Danny Do Couto

Wizard of OZ was awesome. Take advantage of the bathrooms upstairs. Less busy.

Justin Robinson

Fun fact of the day: One of the few theatres (that I know of) to have a Green Room that's actually painted GREEN!

DT Vollmer

There are no bad seats in this theatre . Even the mezzanine seats have great views of the stage.

Watched Wicked and really enjoyed it. Great lead cast and excellent production design.

The seats are way more comfortable than the Royal Alex! And have way more room!

Chris Heffler

Great time was had by all at this great Theatre . Wizard of Oz was very entertaining.

Downtown Yonge

Check out the special photo display of Toronto icon Ed Mirvish outside the newly re-named Ed Mirvish Theatre (formerly Canon Theatre )!

Word to the wise: if you're not in a wheelchair, don't try to use the handicap bathroom . There's hardly enough room to stand in the lobby, let alone be in a chair. Have some respect.

Tara Vaughan

If I were going to see Aladdin again, I'd plan to have dinner at the Middle Eastern restaurant a few doors South first.

Israel

Beautiful theatre ... Just gets really crowded at the lobby during intermissions

King Blue Condos

Without Edwin (Honest Ed) Mirvish, there likely wouldn’t be a Village . Much of King West history starts with his theatres . Read more

Very tight in here. Don't recommend you have a full bladder here, as they have little in the way of restrooms
