The theatre is beautiful. We saw War Horse, and it was spectacular. I have seen many plays in this theatre over the years, and all have been excellent. We just keep coming back for the excellent theatre. More

Ook my mom to see the Mirvish production of War Horse. It was outstanding! I have never seen anything like it nd hce been to many wonderful productions in Toronto over the last 25 years. The story is easy to follow for any age and quite a tear jerker. The puppeteers are incredible. Within a few moments you forget that... More
