Mirvish - Come From Away
Absolutely not to be missed. Both moving and exhilarating, with a stellar cast and great score, beautifully integrating a down east band on stage. The stories and music conveyed the fear, uncertainty and depth of emotion experienced by the 7,000 passengers stranded in Gander and the gargantuan effort the small population made to extend their hospitality.

Tarragon - The Circle
The tension builds towards the conclusion, ebbing and flowing so that you are never sure if it is going to end well or not. Brilliantly executed - the entire cast was stellar.

Factory Theatre - Acquiesce
An awesome start to the season. A very moving story of loss, a father/son relationship viewed through a window into Chinese culture. Jam packed full of symbolism, I almost want to see this again to make sure I didn't miss anything. Strongly recommended.

Art of Time Ensemble - That's Not Funny
I wasn't sure what to expect - humour in music and dance - what are we in for. But what a pleasant surprise - the show was funny and charming, clever and very unique. A thoroughly enjoyable evening!

Soulpepper - Pita Behrupiya (Twelfth Night)
Very clever adaptation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night into Hindi, retaining all of the charm and humour, but with a unique twist. Talented performers and wonderful love songs - while we didn't understand the words (sadly the songs were not translated), the gestures and emotion helped us follow along. Highly recommended.

Disenchanted
Entertaining and some clever jabs at the princess myth, this little musical comedy was a good night's fun.
