Toronto Theater Reviews
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Toronto.
Review: MIND OVER MATTER at The Rec Room
Shelby Handley, Armand Antony, and Alexandra Brynn read the miniscule cues you emit with the tiny movements of your eyes, the twitching of your facial muscles, and even the rhythm of your breathing, in order to figure out exactly what you’re thinking.
Review: UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE at Canadian Stage
With important messages for policymakers and babymakers alike, the urgent performance is part political statement, part a cappella concert, and all cri de coeur about the frustrations of being a parent when nothing is affordable and nobody cares.
Review: CASEY AND DIANA at Soulpepper
Green’s play is a terrific achievement; its urgent structure, indelible characters, and alternately witty and wrenching dialogue make it a highlight of this or any theatre season.
Review: DION: A ROCK OPERA at Coal Mine Theatre
The tight, 70-minute DION is a visually compelling show which puts you right in the middle of the dangerous merriment, with terrific performances and some banger musical numbers.
Review: UNCLE VANYA at CAA Theatre

Review: NATASHA, PIERRE, AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 At Streetcar Crowsnest
The musical is based on a section of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, but it’s anything but staid and traditional.
Review: MIGRAAAANTS at Theatre Passe Muraille
Putting the audience onto the same boat as its characters and letting us feel the intense, heated gaze of its captain exemplifies what MIGRAAAANTS does best, which is to take us on a journey.
Review: 42ND STREET at Princess Of Wales
If you're looking for a holiday musical to entertain the whole family, 42nd Street is full of song and dance, sparkling costumes, and toe-tapping spectacle.
Review: WITHROW PARK at Tarragon Theatre
In WITHROW PARK, Morris Panych’s new play at Tarragon Theatre, we see a view into a neighbourhood a little less than 7 kilometres away from where we sit.
Review: AIN'T TOO PROUD at Ed Mirvish Theatre
Ain't Too Proud, playing at the Ed Mirvish Theatre for a limited engagement, brings the life and times of Motown's finest, The Temptations, to the Toronto stage in a toe-tapping 'Behind the Music'-style spectacular that will leave audiences jaw-dropped.
Review: CHRIS, MRS. at Winter Garden Theatre
CHRIS, MRS.
Review: PROPHECY FOG at Coal Mine Theatre
Jani Lauzon’s autobiographical one-act PROPHECY FOG at Coal Mine Theatre encourages its guests to be receptive vessels, to find comfort in sharing an experience around a circle, engaging in the journey together, and sitting amongst the star stuff of which we’re made.
Review: BRIGADOON at Shaw Festival

Review: LETTERS FROM MAX, A RITUAL at The Theatre Centre
Unadorned, beautifully delivered, linguistically gorgeous and both funny and wrenchingly sincere, it’s one of the most beautiful plays I’ve ever seen, and I think you should see it, too.
Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at Canadian Stage
In Canadian Stage’s production of Italian playwright Stephano Massini’s The Lehman Trilogy, three powerhouse performances, a surprising and meaningful staging, and a sweeping story outweigh the curious neutrality of the script to create a vital, must-see show with high stock value.
Review: CHAOS MENU: DISORDER UP! at Second City
Chaos reigns in Second City’s new sketch offering, CHAOS MENU: DISORDER UP! That’s not surprising; the best types of sketch comedy are, by their nature, somewhat chaotic.
Review: BAD ROADS at Streetcar Crowsnest
It's a fascinating, disturbing work with a powerhouse cast, literally unsettling: never completely relaxing into a style or structure, it stretches deep into the monstrous before snapping back to remind us that the high and low road often originate from the same place.
Review: THE GUIDE TO BEING FABULOUS at Soulpepper
Sandra Caldwell is, indeed, fabulous.
Review: ROCKING HORSE WINNER at Streetcar Crowsnest
Tapestry Opera’s production of Gareth Williams and Anna Chatterton’s ROCKING HORSE WINNER uses a son’s desperate attempts to provide for his mother’s desire for wealth as a cautionary tale about the perils of a hunger that is never satisfied.
