I took the walking tour last summer. It is truly an astonishing place. According to the guides there are only three of these double-deckers left in North America. The Elgin-Winter Garden is the only fully operational one. The others are the New Amsterdam in NYC which has not restored the roof garden theatre (famous from the Ziegfeld days) and one in New Jersey, which is sadly rumored to be slated for demolition. When inToronto, definitely make time to tour this theatre.
