Disney's The Lion King in Toronto : Playing from April 19th to June 12th 2011.

The Lion King returns to Toronto's Princess of Whales Theatre this Spring! See this Landmark Musical Event Presented by Disney & Mirvish Productions.

Experience the phenomenon. Visually stunning, technically astounding and with a musical score like none other you've ever heard. Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap. The entire savannah comes to life and as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly emerges from the mist.

Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pridelands and music from Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life.”

Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to life by a cast of more than 40 actors. Wonder at the inspiration of award-winning director Julie Taymor, who created visual images for this show that you'll remember forever.

For some background on the Lion King Musical Production visit: http://disney.go.com/theatre/thelionking

Last Chance to catch Toronto's highly acclaimed hit "Love, Loss, and What I Wore" ends October 30, 2010 at the Panasonic Theatre.

The Canadian premiere of the award-winning, New York smash hit Love, Loss, and What I Wore, an intimate collection of stories by sisters Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron – who have written some of the most iconic romantic comedies in recent memory (including You’ve Got Mail, Julie & Julia, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) – is now playing at Toronto’s Panasonic Theatre (651 Yonge St.).

Already extended twice until October 30, 2010, the Toronto show joins sister theatrical runs on Broadway and Los Angeles with an esteemed cast of rotating performers.

Tickets can be purchased Online at Ticketking.com or by Phone 416.872.1212 or 1.800.461.3333 or In Person at the Panasonic Theatre.

Special Discount Offer: Use code LOVE20 when ordering and save $20 off tickets. Some restrictions may apply.  Be sure to mention the LOVE20 promo code to the ticket agent or to use it online. Also, call to see if rush tickets are available two hours prior to show-time.

Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman, as well as on the personal recollections of the Ephrons’ friends, Love, Loss, and What I Wore won the 2010 Drama Desk Award for Best Unique Theatrical Experience this summer in New York.

Like the book, Love, Loss, and What I Wore is a collection of vignettes and monologues that uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to.

The New York Times wrote that the “funny, compelling” piece “brought down the house,” while Vanity Fair called it “wise and witty.” Joan Hamburg of New York’s WOR Radio raved “Get tickets! You will have such a good time! I sat there laughing my head off. It was a treat!”
