Star Trek - The Ultimate Voyage 50th Anniversary Tour

Celebrating 50 years of Star Trek, this concert featured a terrific montage of the series and movies, enhanced with the soundtrack played live by a small orchestra. The stage was cleverly designed to resemble the Starship Enterprise and helped to evoke our favourite memories of Kirk and the gang.

Ossington Theatre - Anything Goes

Perfect for the family or a date night, this musical is packed with comedy, great songs and lots of dancing and puns, both verbal and physical, and well executed by the cast. The dance number at the end of the first half and a few in the second were particular treats. ‎The aspiring "public enemy" is a crowd favourite. Strongly recommended for a fun night out.

Bloor Yorkville Icefest

One of my favourite events of the winter is the ice carving competition in Yorkville. Unfortunately we were cheated out of amazing ice sculptures by the unseasonably warm weather. However, there was still a festive feel to the air, with lots of fun for the kids and vendors selling cool stuff like maple syrup on snow.

Art of Time - Zappa

First time I have been offered complimentary earplugs on my way into a concert hall - what have I got myself into! ‎Playing a variety of songs from the 70's, sometimes a bit out of my reach, but also including some really nice, complex music. And oh - earplugs not required.

The 2016/17 season will be on sale soon, I suggest you check it out.

Canstage - Betroffenheit

Ethereal and powerful portrayal of loss and grief through very athletic dance, ‎physical acting and soothing music. Very creative choreography, a fluid form of street dancing, with very powerful dancers. Their ability to suspend movement is awesome.

Canstage - Cold Blood

In the same approach as Kiss and Cry from last season, this year's performance was charming and the looser plot line allowed for more freedom to explore multiple stories. Some of the special effects were really well executed - my personal favourite was the kaleidoscope. Not to everyone's taste, but worth it if you're adventurous.

TSO POPS - Let's Dance!

Phenomenal dancing, from ballroom to cha cha to ‎swing, hip hop and tap and featuring an American Idol favourite, this was a high energy concert. Lots of fun and great music with our amazing TSO, embellished with some local very talented jazz musicians.

Theatre Paisse Muraille - Chelsea Hotel: The Songs of Leonard Cohen

Very well done - a story of love gained and lost, loosely organized around the best of Leonard Cohen. Costumes and staging were creative and the writer was awesome.‎ The show has been performing to sold out houses, so get your tickets now before it's too late.

TSO - 2016/17 Season Launch

Decided to attend the TSO launch of their next season. It was a real treat to be sitting on the stage, seeing the hall from the Orchestra’s perspective. The opening ensemble numbers were wonderful‎. The music director, Peter Oundjian gave an exuberant breakdown of the upcoming season and introduced an astounding performance by a young pianist. Some drinks and munchies provided an opportunity to meet fellow patrons. All-in-all, an enjoyable evening.

Soulpepper - The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine

Hilarious romantic romp, peppered with lots of those little things we can all identify with that drive you crazy. Both actors did an awesome job of portraying frustration and joking with the audience. Great choice for a fun night out, particularly for couples that have been together for a while. Might give you something to talk about.
