Wow what a great show and a great venue. I dont think there is a bad seat in the house. Ordering the drink before the show was simple and I walked out and grabbed it without any delay.

The only complaint I have is that the bathrooms are too small. Poor ladies had a massive line and even the men were lined up. When you see men lined up you know there is not enough facilities on site. Aside from that however, great place. It would have easily gotten 5***** bar the shortage of bathrooms.

What a beautiful theatre. I was lucky enough to catch a matinee of Anastasia with my lovely friend last week and we had an utterly wonderful afternoon.

A few thoughts about the venue:

I had a challenge meeting my companion for the afternoon as the main entrance to the the theatre is via Victoria St, but the box office is accessed via Yonge St. We had not specified at which entrance we were going to meet, so I waited at the box office whilst my friend waited at the main entrance. At the time, I wasn t even aware that there was another entrance (N.B: without your ticket, there is no thoroughfare and you must walk the entire city-block to check the other entrance), so took us almost 20 minutes to finally meet.

There were challenges collecting a pre-ordered interval drinks; be sure to hold on to that coupon receipt and don t try to add anything to your order because you will be made to join the back of the queue. I accept some responsibility here.

Washrooms are very busy at this venue and I would advise using the ones located in the Eaton Centre before arriving for your performance.

Great theatre with lots of great architecture and history. We went to go see Mama Mia. It was great. We had pretty good seats but I personally think that anywhere in the theatre is a great seating area. The woman's washroom is always full so try not to use it if you can.

The walkway into the theatre is absolutely beautiful! I went to watch the Bodyguard on Saturday and it is one of my favorite shows I've seen! Definitely looking forward to coming back to watching something else on another occasion!

Great place to see a show, staff are very helpful and friendly. The seating seems to be decent wherever you end up. The sound could use a bit a help though and that is a minor complaint and sometimes it depends on the show you are seeing. If you are going for a night out highly recommend a show at this theatre. Saw Book of Mormons last and loved it.

last Saturday, there was an issue with my tickets, the company who sold me duplicating seats with someone else that we don't know. We were so frustrated as we were taking 2 kids to the show and they were very excited about the event at the beginning. The manager at Ed Mirvish did realize our frustration and he had grantee us that we would be able to get to the show that day, he tried his best to look for the better seats that equivalent to the section we purchased and he said words to comfort me and my kids to ensure they are not disappointed. Eventually we had a good time with the help of the manager at this theater, I can't thank him enough.
I will go on my battle with with eservus about how they issued duplicated seats on the same time and same time.

Their coffee is awful!!
Could use some updating especially in the bathrooms, and there is plenty of riffraff in the area so hang on to your purse.

Attended Mozart's opera Idomeneo here. Poor accoustics, needed amplification. Beautiful space, comfortable seats. Everything sounded muffled, lacked the power and color needed for Mozart's score. Opera Atelier should find a better space or return to Elgin.

Great time, and the way the set up was engineered was amazing.
Notching beats the acoustics in this place.

Finally saw Wicked! Great production overall with an amazing storyline. Sound for the first 20-30 minutes was not great; could not hear the main characters over the chorus. It was like OZ had its own language.

Amazing shows. But the interior layout is really congested. On the orchestra level there are only 1 set of bathrooms, meaning long lineups at intermission. Also, when the shows let out, all the staircases are filled with people, as there are so few exits compared to people. If you have mobility issues, I would avoid this theatre.

Tickets were purchased as a Christmas gift for my parents and when they arrived the box office told them tickets had been cancelled. They basically stole our money and ruined my parents day. Awful theatre. Avoid Mirvish at all costs.

I saw Hamilton here and it was fantastic!! I had a couple gripes with the lead(a.ham) actor at the beginning, but it was mostly just cause I'd listened to the original cast recording when Hamilton first came out

Love the musicals and the shows often playing in the Ed Mirvish Theatre. Although I love more modern venues I do enjoy the authentic old school feeling of the Ed Mirvish Theatre. If u love musicals, Sedona Ly check them out!

Poor seating arrangements if you're not able to grab a higher priced seat up front. Seats aren't offset, so you're at the mercy of whoever site I front of you, and you'll still find yourself leaning side to side trying to catch a proper angle of the show. Narrow path ways slow down traffic. Design is not efficient, but reflective of the time in which the theatre was built.

Nice theater. We were 5 rows from the front on the right side EE42 and 43. The seats were perfect for viewing. Very quick service at the bar drinks are roughly $8 for alcoholic drinks, and snacks are roughly $5.
The stairs are tricky to maneuver. I tripped while going down to get outside and hurt my arm pretty bad.
