Enjoyed a show at this theatre. Had a tour during the day and it is just a lovely old theatre that has been refurbished completely. Acoustics are great and worth seeing a show there.

historical theatre in the heart of the entertainment district - 2 theatres in one, elevator service, beautiful building, across from the Eaton Centre so lots of restaurants for before and after, parking in the Eaton Centre, or under Yonge and Dundas Square, very handy by TTC - streetcar and/or subway
