Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

Lots of laughs at this show. It was clever, even hysterical at points as it poked fun at family relationships and the crazy things we say and do to each other, safe in the knowledge that we'll still be loved. Fiona Reid was awesome, a standout in an excellent cast. I strongly recommend this show.

Soulpepper - The Gospel According to Mark

Well, that's an hour and a half I will never get back. While Kenneth Welsh recited the Gospel of Mark beautifully, I am not a church goer nor inclined to spend my time in scripture. Was expecting something a little different.

Soulpepper - Subway Stations of the Cross

An interesting series of religious spoken poems, delivered in costume, punctuated by song. Sometimes lyrical, sometimes serious, occasionally unintelligible, it is a good thing its not too long. Ins Choi is an excellent playwright and actor and this play was strangely compelling, but unfortunately not to our taste.

Canstage - Harper Reagan

Quite intense and a very convincing portrait of a women in crisis, excellently portrayed by Molly Parker. A solid cast, expertly carrying the show with a minimalist set. We thoroughly enjoyed this play.

Mirvish - Blithe Spirit

It was such a treat to see Angela Lansbury live. She made a lovely medium, both charming and delightfully acerbic.  Full of comedic moments, surprises and very well executed, we really enjoyed this play.

National Geographic Live - Untamed Antartica

Once again, these guys are nuts. I can't imagine thinking its a good idea to live at the tip of Antarctica in a tent for several weeks and scaling a mountain that scares me silly. And in sub zero temperatures. Crazy people! But awesome photographs and video footage!

Video Games Live

We just love the amazing music made for video games and it's awesome to have it accompanied by clips of the games. This show also includes lots of fun interludes, like pitting video games against each other and audience challenges. It's an annual crowd pleaser, drawing repeat roars from the audience.
