| - The Canon Theatre is a venue that really speaks volumes when it comes to the history of Toronto.
Built back in the 1920s, this theatre may have switched names and ownership over the years, but it still remains a very popular venue for some of the biggest shows in musical theatre and is definitely one of the most beautiful theatres with a stunning interior.
My first experience with this theatre was back when I was 6 years old, when the theatre was "The Pantages" and my parents took my two siblings and I to see The Phantom of the Opera.
Since the Phantom ended its ten year reign in this theatre, the theatre became "The Canon" and was restored again to maintain its original beauty.
Just last week, I went to see Fiddler on the Roof there and it was a wonderful production. What made it so wonderful was the great acoustics inside the theatre, the comfortable seating and the fact that there were no pillars blocking my view!
Before the show even started, I was mesmerized by the opulent decorations of the stage and the interior, along with a very detailed painting design on the ceiling.
Like any other theatre, the only downfall was the lack of bathrooms, particularly for the ladies.
Overall, this theatre is wonderful. Also, it is right across from the Eaton Centre and Dundas Square, so you are close to restaurants and shopping to keep you busy before and after your performance.
