Positives:

  • Prime downtown location: Located on King Street, you can walk to nearby restaurants and bars after the show.
  • Comfortable modern seating: Ergonomic seats and clear sightlines ensure you won’t miss any stage detail.

Challenges:

  • High ticket demand: Popular shows sell out quickly on weekends; plan and book at least two weeks in advance.
  • No late seating: Staff close doors at curtain; arriving late means you might miss part of the performance.

Saw the Sound of Music and were awestruck. The professionalism of the production was top shelf. The talent was incredible, Broadway worthy. The venue was classically beautiful. The one drawback was the cushions in the seats were a bit uncomfortable after a nearly 3 hour performance. They most likely need to be refreshed after many thousands of performances. The staff were very helpful and courteou...

I visited the Princess of Wales Theatre earlier this year to see The Lion King musical, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The theatre itself is stunning, elegant architecture, beautiful décor, and a design that ensures excellent visibility from almost every seat. I was seated on the ground floor and had a clear, immersive view of the stage, but the balconies also looked well positioned...

The Sound of Music today at the princess of Wales Theatre in live theatre feels timeless—filled with heart, hope, and the magic that only a live performance can deliver. This place is always magical.

A memorable musical 'Lion King' seen here. The energy of perfomers and the host staff was just beyond words. Gathered some beer before show to raise toast. Ice cream vendor came at half break to add to the flavours. Huge seating capacity. Sound system was great. Everything well organised to handle large crowd. Simply loved this place.

At first i was hesitant to watch this stage show but may 2 daughter insist they want to watch this show. Because i was thinking this is a kid show.... after i watched it i know i was wrong fantastic and impressive. The Lion King is a must-watch if you are in Toronto. Ticket can be bought online or at site. Price is expensive but worth it.the show is really a Masterpiece of perfectly blend of art ...
