Royal Alexandra Theatre - Toronto

A very interesting bit of information about the Royal Alexandra Theatre is that it is the oldest operating legitimate theatre in North America and we were sp pleased to see the fabulous performance of “Come From Away”musical.. this certainly captured the audience who responded with great enthusiasm and appreciation…

Came here for the Come From Away play and it was a great experience. I was in the middle balcony and could see the stage very clearly without craning my neck. The bathrooms were also pretty clean too. It’s also on King Street so easily accessible via TTC.

The Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto was a fantastic place to see the last performance of The Sixes in downtown Toronto! The theatre itself is old but still beautiful and well kept. They do a great job organizing their bar, snacks, and merchandise spread throughout the lower level. The acoustics were great, and the seating was comfortable. There is a great view from pretty much any seat in the house. All in all, it was a fabulous evening!

Smashing IT! It's grand. It's majestic. It's breathtaking! If you're a true theatre connoisseur then this is the perfect place for you to truly enjoy and take in all of the magical essence of the theatre world. The Royal Alexandra is like no other theatre. Take in a show whether it's a theatre production or a film during TIFF, also the seating design is set up so it really doesn't matter where you sit. The view from all areas of the Royal Alexandra are just perfect! Below is a little snippet of it's Historical Beginnings taken from the Mirvish Production Website. "The Royal Alexandra Theatre is a national historic landmark – the oldest continuously operating legitimate theatre in North America and the continent’s first truly “royal” theatre, granted official letters patent by Edward VII entitling it to the royal designation, along with his permission to name it after his consort, Alexandra. Built in 1907 by Cawthra Mulock (Toronto’s “boy millionaire”), and designed by John M Lyle, it is a masterpiece of beaux-arts architecture that also holds distinction as the city’s first steel-framed structure (allowing cantilevered balconies), one of the first “air-conditioned” buildings in North America, and the first theatre to be deemed legitimately “fireproof”. Its proscenium-stage has seen almost 3400 productions since its opening and has been graced by such legendary performers as John Gielgud, Mary Pickford, the Marx Brothers, Edith Piaf, Paul Robeson… to name just a few." © 2024 Mirvish Productions

Lovely theatre experience. Took my girlfriend out to see Mean Girls here. Purchased the cheapest seats available and they did not disappoint! Anywhere you sit here you will have a good view. They also do a great job of keeping the sections separate and not overflowing the lobby between intermissions. Bar and snacks available at a premium price, of course - but nothing outrageous. Thanks for an amazing night and a great show!
