Review: Theatre Calgary’s COME FROM AWAY nourishes your heart and soul
I cannot express how transformative Theatre Calgary's performance of 'Come From Away' is and how I wish everyone would have the opportunity to experience it. Almost every performance is sold out and extra days are slowly being added to accommodate the demand. I suspect the power of positive Canadian…
Review: Broadway Across Canada’s performance of MAMMA MIA! will have you dancing in your seat
Thanks to a 14 year run on Broadway and the hit 2008 film featuring a star-studded cast, Mamma Mia! is one of the most well-known Broadway shows internationally. The timeless music of ABBA and the strong themes of love, family, and self-identity make this show an instant success. Its popularity was …
Review: Vertigo Theatre’s THE VERDICT Brings Moral Ambiguity to the Courtroom
Vertigo Theatre's 'The Verdict' was a fascinating look at one lawyer's quest to uphold the law and confront the powerful institutions that run Boston's churches, schools, and hospitals. For fans of John Grisham novels, you will find the story familiar yet captivating. For those audience members less…
Review: Verb Theatre’s THE STARLING EFFECT exposes the science of self-preservation
I am a fan of the Netflix series ‘Black Mirror’, so I appreciated the use of cutting edge technology to reveal a darker side of human nature and just how far we would go to survive and protect those we love. The cast did a fantastic job of jumping quickly from memory to memory in a way that tugg…
Preview: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL IN CONCERT with the FILMharmonique Orchestra
Released 23 years ago, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl’ is the first film in what has now become a $4.5 billion franchise with five films released and a sixth on the way. The hilariously mischievous Captain Sparrow has been a fan favourite thanks to Johnny Depp’s skille…
Review: ATP presents the shockingly unexpected tale of WILDWOMAN with a wickedly modern twist
This show has so many modern aspects that are blended in with the historic backdrop that the audience initially find the contrast comical. As the story unfolds and the offensive aspects that once seemed silly and outdated are suddenly not so different from modern issues, we are suddenly left with th…
Review: Calgary Opera’s THE BARBER OF SEVILLE is comedic gold and a musical feast for the ears
The music is familiar to many thanks to various pop culture references including The Looney Tunes, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Simpsons, Pretty Woman, etc. The comedic timing of the performers was first-class, with so much of the story’s charm captured in the antics of the various larger-than-life charact…
Review: The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra brings VIVALDI’S FOUR SEASONS to modern listeners
I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the feeling that it left me with. To witness such talented musicians sharing their passion was an absolute honour. Classical music really does feel like the epitome of cultured refinement, elevating our connectedness to each other by highlighting the miraculous g…
Review: Theatre Calgary’s A DOLL’S HOUSE breaks from convention to redefine the marital relationship
The revelations in 'A Doll's House' unearth truths about the role of women in society, the expectations of mothers in the overall family dynamic, the portrayal of the husband as both the caretaker and patriarch in the home, and even the influence of nature versus nurture in our behavioural tendencie…
Review: Vertigo Theatre’s A KILLING SNOW Brings Chills and Thrills to Calgary Audiences
“A Killing Snow” transports the audience to a blizzard-ravaged home in Huron County, Ontario where five ‘strangers’ are unwittingly drawn together to escape the storm.…
