* * * * * (OUT OF FIVE)...
Review: 'Whistle Down the Wind' National Tour
The tour of Whistle Down The Wind makes a brief stop in Toronto. Despite strong performances by the leads this is another muddled musical from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Soulpepper Theatre's 'Blithe Spirit'

Review: Mid Life! The Crisis Musical

Review: Funny Business
Office politics, Industrial shows, TV Reality shows and corporate team building exercises are just some of the targets in Funny Business, a new musical that attracted great acclaim earlier this summer at The Fringe Festival. It's called FUNNY BUSINESS. And it is very funny.
