"The Royal Alexandra Theatre—or the Royal Alex, as it’s known—is a pretty spiffy affair. Thenewly restored 1907 Beaux-Arts triumph is, in fact, North America’s first properly royal theater. It gained its title thanks to King Edward VII, who named it after his consort, Princess Alexandra of Denmark. In step with its notable lineage, the theater's stage hashosted everything from the musical Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles to shows that maycause aroyal hiccup ( Kinky Boots , anyone?). For lovers of boldfaced productions, this is the place."
