Princess of Wales theatre

[travelplanner70]

I am trying to arrange a trip for my son and daughter-in-law to Toronto, and they would like to go to the Princess of Wales Theatre for a show in March. They would also like to go to a nice (preferably not expensive) Italian restaurant nearby. I have two questions:

1. When ordering theater seats for them, which are the best one with price in mind? I know obviously the seats most forward would give the best view, but are they worth the money in this theater, or can one see/hear well in certain parts of the balcony?

2. Any suggestions for a nice restaurant that is in walking distance of the theater?

Thank you for your help in advance,
Joanne

The first balcony, first few rows are excellent. I can suggest the below linked restaurant if they enjoy Italian food. It is just minutes walk from the theatre.

We have an annual subscription to the cheap seats in the upper balcony and they are fine. If the tickets are a gift, you might want to give them better seats, but there is no need to buy the most expensive.
Another good Italian restaurant is Badali's www.joebadalis.com, at Simcoe and Front, a short walk to the theatre.

I agree with Eli. We also have an annual subscriptions -- also cheap seats -- and they are perfectly fine. I'm not sure what time constraints are, but that is a lovely part of the city with lots to see and do
