#1Toronto Theatre Question
Posted: 7/14/10 at 8:35amSorry - I didn't see a message board area specifically for Toronto so I am posting here. Does anyone know if you can bring shoulder/messenger bags into Toronto theatres? I'm going to try and do two shows in one day and won't be staying at a hotel. Also, does anyone know if you can purchase a day pass for a YMCA so I can shower and change clothes (I'm taking a 12-day bus ride to get there!)

Generally there is no problem with shoulder bags as long as you fit under your sit.
Day pass at YMCA is around $14
For a few $ more you could get a bed at the hostel.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Posted: 7/14/10 at 11:50amThanks, but I'm not looking to stay for the night - here's what I'm looking to do: bus from Maine to NYC on Wednesday, see "Driving Miss Daisy" Wed. night, leave NYC around 11:00pm, arrive Toronto 9:00am Thursday, see "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" and "Wicked" then leave Toronto on 11:15pm bus back to NYC, then back to Boston and Maine. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it?!

There are no Thursday matinees unless they've been specially added.
In the case of WICKED in Toronto there is a special added matinee on Thursday October 21 at 1:30 pm.
And yes you can bring messenger bags into the theatre. You can check the bag at the coatcheck if it's too bulky.

Posted: 7/16/10 at 10:08amI believe Priscilla has a Thursday matinee for October 28th only, so I was thinking matinee of Priscilla and evening of Wicked. May not do Wicked, though, as I've seen it a few times, most recently earlier this year in Providence. Still want to see Priscilla, though.
