Canstage- All But Gone

I didn't quite get all of the vignettes, but I enjoyed the singing. While not overall to my taste, the physical comedy was cute and I particularly liked the talking heads.

Soulpepper- Hosanna

Excellent play! Very intense story and strangely engaging. While not a sympathetic character, Hosanna nonetheless draws out your compassion with her raw and emotional performance. A superbly acted two man show.

Canstage - Concord Floral

Very interesting presentation of a familiar theme - teenage bullying. Told through many voices, some unconventional, we didn't know what was coming. Great start to the season!

TSO POPS - The Music of ABBA

The TSO was accompanied by an awesome a capella group from Finland, Rajaton. While a great and definitely entertaining start to the 2016/17 POPS series, but it didn't really utilize the orchestra as much as we would have liked.

Soulpepper- Noises Off

Hilarious, high energy, exhausting physical comedy. Stellar cast with amazing comedic timing and incredible endurance. Lots of laugh out loud fun, this show is not to be missed.

Nuit Blanche

It was a different feel wandering the streets this year, as it was a little harder to randomly find artworks and our stroll along Queen St felt more like Buskerfest. However, we did squeeze our way into City Hall and were mesmerized by the pulsing, swirling globe. Definitely worth the effort to get close.

Theatre Passe Muraille - Brave New World

Excellent adaptation of the book - very thought provoking, the actors portrayal of different cultures was awesome, a stellar cast. Strongly recommended.
