Things to do in Toronto, Canada: The Best Concerts & Shows
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.

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.
4. Ed Mirvish Theatre

4.5 based on 1,571 reviews
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.
