LEARN MOREREVIEW: Theatre Under the Stars puts a compelling spin on Cats
In the end, Cats left me puzzled, perplexed, and absolutely buzzing. Did I ever learn what Jellicle means? No. Did I have a great time? Absolutely.

Toronto Fringe’s New Young Reviewers 2024 | Round Two
The second round of reviews from the Toronto Fringe's New Young Reviewers program is here!
REVIEW: The Last Timbit is a surprisingly charming commercial gem
The Last Timbit, a show of snow and sweets, had a limited run at the Elgin Theatre in June and is getting a streaming release on Crave on August 12. I, for one, am more than curious to see how a wider audience will react.
REVIEW: Chiara Isotton burns like a supernova in COC’s Medea
Isotton is riveting, offering a masterful vocal and physical performance that swings wildly from one emotional episode to the next.
REVIEW: A new take on Don Pasquale re-imagines its lead as a cat-loving crank
If you love cats, you’ll like Barbe & Doucet’s production of Don Pasquale.
REVIEW: Little Shop of Horrors at Capitol Theatre Port Hope
The performances in Little Shop of Horrors at the Cameco Capitol Theatre in Port Hope are proof that there is formidable talent in theatres out of town that aren’t part of the Stratford and Shaw festivals.
REVIEW: Tosca and Macbeth at Canadian Opera Company
Be it the lush and extravagant production of Tosca or the brooding and eerie production of Macbeth, both operas capture the spirit of romantic opera to delight audiences.
REVIEW: The Marriage of Figaro at Canadian Opera Company
Guth’s staging highlights the profound dimensions of human relationships in his exploration of individuals torn between morality, desire, and impulse.
REVIEW: Peter’s Final Flight at Ross Petty Productions
It’s clear that Petty’s aim over the past quarter-century to instil the love of live theatre in young audiences has been a success.
