The Princess of Wales Theatre has a seating capacity of 2000, and is located in the center of Toronto's Entertainment District in the downtown area. The theatre has a three-level seating plan and is constructed as a traditional 19th century English proscenium theatre, although it is designed with both traditional and contemporary aspects. The theatre hosts large-scale musicals which run for long stints.

The Royal Alexandra Theatre, built in 1907, is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the oldest continuously operating theatre in North America. The venue has a seating capacity of 1,497, and is designed in a beaux-arts style, with a proscenium stage, built in a typical 19th century British theatre style. The theatre has been managed by Mirvish Productions since 1986. It was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1975, and it was named a National Historic Site of Canada in 1987, on the 80th anniversary of the theatre.

The theatre was first opened in 1920 as a vaudeville and movie theatre in the Pantages theatre circuit. At the time, it had a seating capacity of 3373, and was the largest and most elegant cinema in Canada. It was originally named the Pantages Theatre, then the Imperial Theatre and later the Canon Theatre, until it was renamed in 2011 after Ed Mirvish, a well-known businessman and theatre impresario. The venue was listed on the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory in 1979, and in 1988, the theatre gained heritage protection, as it was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
