Ed Mirvish Theatre (Formerly the Canon Theatre)

We saw Bat Out Of Hell on April 4th - it was truly awesome, so good!! The cast were energetic and the singing was wonderful. We purposely sat in the last row in the mezzanine, far right. We loved our seats; W 153 and 154. We had the first two seats in our very short row. It was nice to have a large walkway behind us to stretch during intermission. It’s a bit of a hike to get up there but well worth it. Our view was unobstructed and the sound was great. What a beautiful historic building! They sell snacks, drinks, and even collectables from the show. If weather permits, I suggest waiting outside and letting the bulk of the crowd settle in, which we sadly didn’t do. There were so so so may people trying to get up the stairs that I could barely move my arms around me. Not a great feeling! Parking can be tricky if you want to park across the street. We saw that they blocked cars in, which is not for us… We parked for a flat fee of $20 a short block away on Shuter Street and Bond Street. On this day, at least, they didn’t block cars in.

We had an amazing experience watching Chicago. We had front Orchestra seats and were able to have a good view of the performances. There were a few seats which were empty which I feel should be released at half price rather than going to waste. The people were friendly, and the vendors carrying ice cream and chocolates were fun too. The line at the washroom was serpentine. ( They need to do something about it). All in all, we had a fantastic experience watching this famed show.

Come here to indulge and support culture and arts. Beautiful theatre building. Stunning Architecture inside. But a ticket to a play so you can experience this. Five stars all around!!! Such a great place for an outing with family, friends, or a solo outing. Love the customer service here, starting from your very first encounter with the Doorman opening your door, to every other staff working there. It shows they value customer service. Kudos. When you go there, Be prepared to be stunned by the inside- beautiful artwork and staircases. And go early so you can people watch and be part of the fun. For those who want to be boujiee/ bougiee, you get your pics to post online to show your friends your fancy ( or cultured). Or to post online a review like me 😝. But seriously, this place is just great. ( And seeing one of their beautiful productions is even better). TIP: get there early to soak up the atmosphere and be part of the excitement. Get your food and drink from concession before the play begins so you beat the crowd at intermission. If you can only afford the cheapest seats, then no worries. Every seat in the house has a very good view of the stage. Go with your budget. You will enjoy the experience. It's great to supports arts and culture in the city. Remember to turn off your phone once the actors are on the stage. And by the way, you get to dress as you like these days. I still dress up though, 'cause I'm fancy. Just do me a favour and leave the jogging pants for jogging. P parking is nearby and so is the subway.

My sister and I were fortunate to have seen the musical Moulin Rouge at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre on a recent trip to Toronto. What great energy! What terrific singing! What wonderful acting! What superb musical tunes! And, what a beautiful theater. We were totally amazed at how the words to hit songs were used to tell the story. I’d love to go back to Toronto to see it again. An AAAA++++!!

Gorgeous theater and truly a Toronto treasure. Staff were helpful and friendly. Washroom was clean. Seats were comfortable enough. Wish that the box seats on either side of the auditorium were useable and available (despite knowing that the sightlines aren't great). If the tickets weren't so expensive, I would go to a lot more shows there.
