Evidence: Mirvish Productions 2,000 May 26, 1993 
The Princess of Wales Theatre is a 2,000-seat live theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The theatre opened on May 26, 1993, with a Canadian production of the megamusical Miss Saigon. On September 29, 2012, after operating for only 19 years, Mirvish Productions announced a plan to demolish the Princess of Wales Theatre in favour of a multi-purpose complex designed by Frank Gehry and which would include an extensive artwork collection available for public viewing, as well as museums, condominium units, and retail spaces. Ed and David Mirvish built the theatre as a state-of-the-art facility to stage large-scale musicals for long runs. The family's Mirvish Productions owns Toronto's Royal Alexandra, Ed Mirvish (formerly the Canon), and Panasonic theatres.
