The 10 Best Concerts & Shows in Church-Yonge Corridor, Canada

October 19, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

When I suggested to take a guided tour to the theatre,some of my friends said why dont we leverage a show to visit the theatre rather than investing additional time and money?I have to say it is really worth it!We attended the Saturday morning 10:00 2 hours guided tour. Two volunteers hosted us. Linda let us take the 1913 made Otis Elevator. It is manually operated!They spend two hours to relfect the theatre history and how it was restored including keeping the original spelling mistake. They keep it as Edward time style. It is really amazing to see the only operating double decker theatre in the world on site. I really recommend people pay a visit there. When you know the stories,you will see this theatre differently when you come for a show next time.

Massey Hall

Reviewed By 23iulianu

If you have your favorite artist coming to Toronto at Massey Hall, don't hesitate to buy tickets. However, avoid the gallery tickets; the seats at Massey Hall are as they were one hundred years ago, ... and the gallery was the place for the low-class people.

Ed Mirvish Theatre

The Ed Mirvish Theatre began its life in 1920 as a combination vaudeville and motion picture theatre in the Pantages theatre circuit. With its original 3373 seats, it was the largest cinema in Canada and, with its lavish interior - designed by the great theatre architect Thomas Lamb - the most elegant. David Mirvish officially renamed the iconic building The Ed Mirvish Theatre on December 6, 2011.

Saw Bat out of Hell (Matinee) and we really enjoyed it. Arriving at the theatre early is a good idea. It gets crowded very quickly, and the doors to the actual theatre only open 30 mins prior to the start of the show. But, if you're there early you can use the washrooms, before showtime rather than during intermission (which is a zoo!). We also had a glass of wine while waiting to go in. All staff are friendly and helpful.

Buddies in Bad Times Theatre

Established in 1979, this "gay, lesbian and queer" theater company produces edgy and provocative new Canadian works. Their work is not for everyone (the list of upcoming productions identifies shows that are "not for the faint of heart," and they mean it), but Buddies produces shows that you simply won't see anywhere else. The theater also stages Canadian adaptations of some well-known works, such as Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. American Sky Gilbert has helped build the theater's cutting-edge reputation.

Reservoir Lounge

This perennial favorite is a modern-day speakeasy. The cramped space -- it seats only 100 -- is below street level, yet feels intimate rather than claustrophobic. Live jazz, whether Dixieland, New Orleans, or swing, belts out 6 nights a week. The epicenter for the swing dance craze in Toronto, this is still the place to watch glam hepcats groove.

CAA Theatre

At 651 Yonge St, just south of Bloor St., the CAA Theatre is in the heart of downtown Toronto, within walking distance of the boutiques and galleries of Yorkville, the fashionable shopping of Bloor West and Church Street, the Royal Ontario Museum and the campus of University of Toronto. Parking is available in municipally owned surface lots on Isabella St. (just south of the theatre) and Charles Street (just to the north) and indoor lots off Charles, just west of Yonge.

The Piaf Dietrich production was excellent. Louise Pitre was brilliant in her role as Piaf. I very much enjoyed the venue as there are no bad seats and it is small.
