While perhaps best known as the home of the Stanley Cup and the tallest freestanding structure in North America, Toronto is globally known as one of the top cities for live theater. Mirvish Productions is the largest commercial theater production company in Canada, based in downtown Toronto. If you want to get the best picture of the beautiful mosaic that is Canada’s culture, include a stop at one of their four magnificent and historic theaters!
Throughout the year, Mirvish produces a full season of professional plays and musicals at each of their four venues, representing a wide range of theatrical entertainment for all ages, spanning multiple genres. Mirvish is gearing up to kick off the 2026-27 season with bumper-to-bumper world, North American, Canadian, and Toronto premieres. The most anticipated production from the upcoming lineup is the North American premiere of TOHO’s highly acclaimed stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning film masterpiece “Spirited Away.” Toronto is one of just five cities in the world to receive the show, so don’t miss the opportunity to see this production live in North America—the only other tour stop on the continent is in Los Angeles. See the Mirvish website for the full lineup of shows!
Each of the Mirvish theaters is unique in its history and design, making spaces that are perfect for guided tours. Mirvish has other great enrichment experiences to go the extra mile with your groups—including workshops, performance groups, and post-show Q&As upon request! Schools love pairing Mirvish Guest Artist workshops with a talkback with the casts, and groups have the option to learn more about Mirvish Productions’ role in Toronto history on guided tours of the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Princess of Wales Theatre, and the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre.
There is always something to do in Toronto, so make it a full day by exploring the surrounding neighborhoods! The Princess of Wales Theatre and the Royal Alexandra Theatre are located in the Entertainment District, a popular destination for a full day of fun since you can catch a Blue Jays game at the Rogers Centre or scope out the city from the CN Tower in the same day. Do some quick shopping in Yorkville after the matinee at the CAA Theatre, or swing by the Eaton Centre before an evening show at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre. And don’t forget that the U.S. dollar goes further across the border!
Group minimums start at 10 tickets, with upper limits only to the capacity of the theaters. Each venue offers on-site concessions with snack and beverage options, plus Toronto’s legendary dining scene offers myriad options just steps away. Motorcoach parking is available, and more information is available on the Mirvish and City of Toronto websites about lot and street parking.
Mirvish Productions offers everything your group needs for a memorable and enriching cultural experience. Their team is committed to giving all theatergoers the opportunity to be fully immersed in the performance and enjoy the experience of live theater, gain an appreciation for the theater’s beauty, and leave wanting to come back.
