THE GREAT GATSBY is most definitely not your high school lit class.

Review: GREY SPACES at Theatre Passe Muraille
Grey Spaces is a visually-pleasing and highly-ambitious new musical that features strong performances, but lacks clarity and polish.
Review: THE REMAINDERS at Toronto Fringe
The Remainders is a touching theatrical love letter to public libraries and to any patron who has ever found a sense of belonging through public libraries.
Review: UNSUNG: THE ACCIDENTAL VILLAINS OF HISTORY at Toronto Fringe
Unsung: The Accidental Villains of History, welcoming audiences at Theatre Passe Muraille from June 30-July 11, is a charming and entertaining musical with stellar vocals, but lacks essential context for those not well-versed in world history.
Review: GALEN'S GROCER: THE MUSICAL at Theatre Passe Muraille
Galen's Grocer is an extremely timely, clever and detail-oriented musical that will -- both hilariously and sadly -- resonate with anyone who buys groceries in Canada.

Review: JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE at Shaw Festival
That belovedly droll English valet of old, Jeeves, has resurfaced to the delight of everyone in the the charming play JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE now onstage at The Shaw Festival.
Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Princess Of Wales Theatre
The Outsiders’ Canadian debut, presented with Mirvish Productions, is a seamless, multi-sensory delight that evokes strong reactions from traditionally quiet Toronto audiences.
Review: 10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE at Bluma Appel Theatre: St. Lawrence Centre For The Arts
Every aspect of 10 Days in a Madhouse, directed by Joanna Settle, exemplified why opera has the power to bring stories to life in ways that no other genre can.
Review: PUNCH: A NEW MUSICAL - PRESENTED IN CONCERT at Factory Theatre
PUNCH: A New Musical - Presented in Concert is a warm, musical hug to those who feel like they don’t quite belong where they are expected.
Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY at CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre
Based on the terrifying movies written and directed by Oren Peli, the stage adaptation of Paranormal Activity, now playing at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre, holds just as much edge-of-your-seat tension with the right amount of carefully timed jump scares that will keep you excited for more.
Review: FUNNY GIRL at Shaw Festival
When FUNNY GIRL opened on Broadway it was a smash hit in 1964 and would jettison the career of Barbra Streisand.
Review: WORLD ON FIRE at The Assembly Theatre
On the whole, this intimate and emotionally raw black box presentation was a strong inaugural performance for this company, and I look forward to seeing more fresh grassroots performances from them in the future.
Review: CICADAS at Tarragon Theatre
What did our critic think of CICADAS at Tarragon Theatre?
Review: BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE/ERWARTUNG at Four Seasons Centre For The Performing Arts
Even if you are lukewarm to early 20th-century avant-garde music and don’t care for Schoenberg’s serial composition music-baby, you are sure to be won over by the brilliance of these performers and the creative team.
Review: STRIFE at Tarragon Theatre
Anyone who’s spent ten minutes online in the past decade knows that we live in an age of anger and polarization when it comes to the issues and identities we hold dear.
Review: PELLÉAS AND MÉLISANDE at Koerner Hall
Opera Atelier’s 2025-2026 production of Claude Debussy’s Pelléas and Mélisande is a departure from the company’s production modus operandi that will leave a lasting impression on audiences and signal a new era of innovation for Opera Atelier.
Review: THE MOORS at The Theatre Centre
In Jen Silverman’s The Moors, the slightly deranged love child of the Brontës, Waiting For Godot, and Six, Emilie the governess (Blessing Adedijo) arrives at a manor amidst the titular plains to find that nothing is quite as she expected.
