Crows Theatre - Grounded

Intense, riveting. Carly Street portrays descent into madness in a visceral way. I couldn't stop myself from fervently wishing someone could help. Amazing performance.

Tarragon - This Was the World!

So many things to talk about - this play really generated a deep conversation on privilege, unconscious bias, behavioural change, ....

Factory Theatre - Lady Sunrise

A stellar cast powerfully presents six interrelated stories. No matter what their socioeconomic status, each women struggles with survival. Really clever set allowed the focus to remain centred on the stories.

Canstage - AF

Incredible dance, with compelling music. Beautiful to watch!

National Geographic Live! - Adventures Among Orangutans

Fascinating story about orangutans, dependent on the rainforest ecosystem. These animals, who most closely resemble us in DNA, are now endangered. Impressive family adventure too, as these researchers have been bringing their children with them to Borneo.

AGO - Illusions: The Art of Magic & Diane Arbus: Photographs 1956–1971

If you like street photography and interesting personalities you will like the Diane Arbus' show. We also enjoyed the illusions show - a fascinating history of the people who popularized this form of entertainment. Also, always make time for Kusama's mirrored room (book it as soon as you enter as it is very popular).

Sheridan Theatre - Cabaret

An excellent adaptation of this popular musical. Amazing performances from Ben Page as the emcee and Allison Ferrence as Sally Bowles. Fantastic show.

Canstage - How to Fail as a Popstar

Raw and open story of ambition unfulfilled, performed with grace and charm. An engaging story and a beautiful voice.

Soulpepper - Jesus Hopped the A Train

Riveting play, as circumstances are slowly revealed towards an outcome that has you hoping for the best, right to the very end. Outstanding performances.

Mirvish - Hamilton

Despite all the hype I have to say that I have a mixed review. The first half was like a musical history lesson (did I mention I am not a history buff), but the second half was great. The story came alive and the twists and turns grabbed you.

Coal Mine - Marjorie Prime

Thought provoking with respect to mortality and family, with a futuristic approach to coping with grief through AI support. Amazing show.

Bloor-Yorkville Icefest

This annual event is a great family activity. The ice sculptures are amazing and you can sip a hot chocolate or enjoy some snacks while you browse. Great opportunity for selfies as well!

Oakville Symphony - Romantic Fantasy

Fantastic performance from this community orchestra. Outstanding guest pianist, charming conductor and easy listening program. The vocalist enhanced the second half with her wonderful performance. 

Crowsnest Theatre - Casimir and Caroline

Office party gone awry, thanks to emotions in turmoil from restructuring and shenanigans unfolding. Alternating hilarious and tragic. Fast paced, the action and laughs are non-stop. Many performances are sold out, so act fast.
