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.
