You get to see major Broadway touring shows in a perfectly restored 1920s theatre with actual gold-leaf details and plush seating. It's one of the few venues left in Toronto where the building is as much an event as the production.
Unlike the more sterile modern venues, this place gives you authentic art deco architecture, massive crystal chandeliers, and original ceiling frescoes. Its prime spot right on Yonge means grabbing a post-show bite is just steps away, not a trek.
