The Royal Alexandra Theatre, affectionately known as the 'Royal Alex,' is a gem of Toronto's entertainment district. Opened in 1907, it is one of the oldest continuously operating theatres in North America. The Beaux-Arts facade and lavish interior transport visitors to a bygone era of elegance. Inside, you'll find plush red velvet seats, gilded details, and an intimate horseshoe-shaped auditorium that ensures excellent sightlines from every seat. The theatre primarily hosts touring Broadway productions, musicals, plays, and occasional concerts. Located at King and Simcoe Streets, it's surrounded by restaurants and bars perfect for a pre-show dinner. The Royal Alex is a must-visit for theatre lovers and anyone seeking a taste of Toronto's cultural heritage.
