๐ง Fun fact
Gooderham & Worts Limited in Toronto, originally founded in 1832, was once the largest distillery in the world. A fun fact about the distillery is that during the Prohibition era in the United States, Gooderham & Worts continued to thrive by legally exporting their spirits to the Caribbean, which were then often smuggled into the U.S. This clever maneuver helped the company maintain its success despite the challenging period. Today, the historic distillery buildings have been transformed into the Distillery District, a vibrant cultural and entertainment neighborhood.
Walk and Inspire
The Onyx Theatre is where starstruck Roxie Hart watches Velma Kelly in awe. It's an ornate theater with an intimate auditorium and a vast, deep stage to accommodate the big production numbers.
While it's not a real theater, it was meticulously constructed in the old Gooderham & Worts Distillery in Toronto. Fans will be amazed by the convincingly grim prison interior and the circus-ring designed courtroom, both of which were also sets built in this location.
