Canon Theatre, 244 Victoria Street

The Canon, formerly known as the Pantages Theatre, opened in 1920 as a combination vaudeville and motion picture theatre. At the time, its 3,373 seats made it the largest cinema in Canada and the most lavish. Today it is host to many Broadway productions.

Built in 1913, this theatre is adorned with royal boxes and exquisite gilded plaster details. It is a national historic site, and the last operating “double-decker” theatre in the world.
