The seats are comfortable and not too close together. The sound is great. I love the "old theater" decor. The artwork on the ceiling is great. Definitely a place to see.

Good theatre. Seats are tight and uncomfortable, especially if you have longer legs. It's a trade off for the steep angle and good view of the stage.

19th century architecture, the opulent lobby and in the stairwells, signed photographs of famous actors who have graced the stage since it opened on August 26, 1907. Read more

It is as good as anything I have seen in New York or London.

Beautiful theatre, but if you value comfort, get tickets in the orchestra section. The balconies are horribly uncomfortable and have absolutely no leg room.

While you are at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, why not take a stroll along the sidewalk outside to see Canada's Walk of Fame.

Built in 1907, the Royal Alex is the oldest continuously operating legitimate theatre in North America

Upper balconies seats are small and need updated, no leg room. A/C blows strong so take jacket/sweater or something to keep warm. But still good view of the stage.

I agree, not much leg room. But a beautiful theater
