The Canadian Opera Company’s remount of its 2014 production of Cosí Fan Tutte, originally directed by Atom Egoyan, brings to bear all of the performance and creative excellence for which the COC is known. However, in the post- #MeToo era, and amidst the Cornell 7 scandal, this 236-year-old work h…
Booty Candy is perfect for 2026. It has just the right blend of hilarity and hyperbole to take your mind off current events and just enough home truths to give a voice to the shared pain, fear and rage of all of us whose very existence is subversive during these turbulent times. At a time when pla…
Multi-Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Alicia Keys lends her soulful and iconic tunes to Hell's Kitchen on stage now at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre, directed by Patrick Willingham and Oskar Eustis (artistic director) with book by Kristoffer Diaz.

An embarrassment of artistic riches has yet again convened in Niagara on the Lake for this season’s Shaw Festival. Two very different plays are given world class productions sharing many of the same talents. Last week I attended Anthony Shaffer’s psychological thriller SLEUTH at the intima…
THE GREAT GATSBY is most definitely not your high school lit class. At the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre, the music is loud, the dancing is hot, and the passions are hotter.…
