Occasional Toronto: These Boots .....!

These Boots .....!

I wanted to give you an idea of the crowded sidewalks along King St during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). This pic was taken in front of the Royal Alexandra Theatre just down the block from 2 theatres showing films during TIFF. If you weren't going with the flow it was almost impossible to move along at times. I was there later at 10:30 pm when a nearby Blue Jays baseball game had just finished and movies were finishing and it was chaos along the sidewalks with so many people!
Kinky Boots, a Broadway musical, has been here since July and has just been extended until December.

Taken For Granted said...: I've seen the movie Kinky Boots, and loved it. I'm sure the play is good also. There are some really sad parts in it, but it does have a happy ending. Great street photography.; September 30, 2015 at 5:27 PM
Nonnie said...: wow, that's a lot of events happening at the same time. I had not heard of either the play or movie. I'd say that it's a success staying that long in one city.; September 30, 2015 at 5:53 PM
