Top 10 Theaters
-
1. Canon Theatre
Big musicals have replaced vaudeville on the bill. The 1920s interior is a fantasy of gilt-framed mirrors and chandeliers, a magnificent staircase and dome.
-
2. Royal Alexandra Theatre
Saved from demolition, this 1906 theater has been returned to Edwardian finery. A lovely mural tops the dramatic proscenium arch. Musicals and drama.
-
3. Princess of Wales Theatre
This venue for hit musicals opened in 1993, the first privately developed large theater the city had seen since 1907. The interior by Toronto design team Yabu Pushelberg spares no expense. Wall and ceiling murals by American minimalist Frank Stella.
-
4. Premiere Dance Theatre
The crème de la crème of modern dance, by both local and visiting companies, has graced this stage.
-
5. Elgin Theatre
The lower half of the double-decker Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre was built in 1913 as a movie house and, with its lavish gilding and proscenium arch, is a historic gem.
-
6. Winter Garden Theatre
This room high above Elgin Theatre is aptly named. On the ceiling, some 5,000 beech leaves glitter in the lantern light.
-
7. Theatre Passe Muraille
This two-stage venue has led the way with innovative Canadian productions since the 1960s, when it launched works developed by troupes of actors.
-
8. Factory Theatre
One of Toronto’s oldest houses shows works by Canadian playwrights. Many masters, including local George F. Walker, got their start here.
-
9. Bluma Appel Theatre
Fans of CanStage’s contemporary drama fill the seats.
-
10. Artword Theatre
Alternative drama and dance at this relatively recent addition to the scene.
