TSO - TSO Artists in the Spotlight

Another wonderful performance by the TSO. A special treat, featuring virtuoso performances by Teng Li on viola and Sarah Jeffrey on oboe. Closing with one of my favourites - Bolero never gets old!

Off Mirvish - Dead Metaphor

Absolutely hilarious, this show was a riot. Parodying dementia and the oh so familiar family dynamics when too many related adults are living in the same house,  the characters were really well cast and executed wonderfully. The demented view of politics was too funny. Definitely recommend this show!

Mirvish - The Last Confession

An intriguing story speculating about the 33 day reign of Pope John Paul and the level of corruption that is induced by the mantle of power, even  in the Vatican‎. A stellar cast, with some very powerful performances. The staging was great - it felt like you were sitting in the papal offices.

Factory Theatre - Bingo!

Some funny moments by characters slightly over the top. We experience their nostalgic reflections on high school days, with happy times and high expectations, as we watch them struggle with the realities of today - the pressures of success, failing to achieve their dreams. But, today can still be the first day of the rest of your life....

21C Music Festival - For Bunita Marcus

This piece was 70 minutes long, which was a bit too much for my daughter and I. While beautiful and expertly played, it is a very slow and quiet piece, so every creek, groan and cough in the audience jumps out at you. We were afraid to move. I kept thinking of how lovely this would be paired with a film of exquisite nature shots.....

TSO POPS - Classic Broadway: Lerner and Loewe

My daughter and I loved the show. The TSO was amazing. Maistro Reineke was amazing. The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir was awesome. And all three vocals (Amy Wallis, David Curry and Jonathan Estabrooks) were outstanding. The program was incredible, with a resounding finish with songs from My Fair Lady.

Soulpepper - The Road to Mecca

A heartwarming story of a a special bond between two women, separated by distance, age and custom We also share a poignant glimpse of unrequited love. Portraying strong, but opposing characters, the complex dialogue was brilliant , cleverly drawing you in, teasing, outcomes so uncertain. A small, but talented cast.
