More information on Foreign Language Bookstore (Waiwen Shudian)

This spectacular 2,000-seat, state-of-the-art facility was built for the production of Miss Saigon, with a stage large enough to accommodate the landing of the helicopter in that production. More recently, it was home to The Lion King, and Hairspray. In 2006, it's going to be news in a big way, because this is where the world premiere of the stage adaptation of the epic The Lord of the Rings is playing. Frank Stella, who painted 929 sq. m (10,000 sq. ft.) of colorful murals, decorated the exterior and interior walls. People in wheelchairs have access to all levels of the theater (not the norm in Toronto). Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
