According to the
Globe & Mail, Toronto may become the home of Radio City Music Hall's first satellite venue outside of New York City. While no deal is yet confirmed there is speculation that the famous New York theatre will become a tenant of Woodbine Live, the 81 hectares entertainment complex slated to be completed in Rexdale by 2013.
"The developers behind Woodbine Live, a massive entertainment complex slated to open in Rexdale in 2013, are in discussions with Madison Square Garden Inc. to open a theatre under the Radio City brand, sources say."
"If the deal goes ahead, Radio City would anchor the $1-billion Woodbine Live project, one of the largest and most ambitious urban developments in Toronto's history."
"The Woodbine Entertainment Group, which owns the racetrack and casino on Rexdale Boulevard near Highway 427, has partnered with Baltimore-based Cordish Companies to transform 81 hectares of underdeveloped land near the track into a new entertainment destination."
"If the Radio City deal goes through, the theatre is slated to be part of a complex that will include caf�s, nightclubs, a skating rink, heated outdoor sidewalks, a 400-metre canal, a 600-room four-star hotel, a 16-screen cinema and a 100,000-square-foot conference centre when it opens in three years."
