Segal Centre’s April Fools Is Sexy and Techy

April Fools is a very sexy, crazy, uninhibited musical journey of a woman’s walk on the wild side. It takes the audience inside her head with all of her desires, turmoil, how her impulses contradict against her and clash with reality. It is a jam-packed rock show done cabaret-style. It is at times thrilling, funny, […]

Segal Centre’s SuperDogs: The Musical is not just for dog lovers

SuperDogs the Musical is a fun, family-friendly musical with a simple story and a sweet message of love for our furry companions and their devotion to us humans. You don’t have to be a canine lover to enjoy this excellent show. I know this because I took my dog-fearing mother. For as long as I […]

Centaur’s All I Want for Christmas Gives Plenty of Cheer

It’s December 23rd and all available elves are needed to meet that crucial deadline of Christmas Eve. Ginger (Amelia Sargisson) […]

REVIEW: Centaur’s MOB Fights the Power

If we are in control of every aspect of our lives, are we truly protected? Do we have the right to feel secure? Do we have the right to privacy? MOB is a violent, disturbing, but thought-provoking story on the timely subject of identity and the false security of anonymity. It speaks to the idea […]

REVIEW: Music, Memories, and Heritage at Segal’s The Times They Are A Changin’

The Times They Are A Changin’ is a wonderful way to shake off the winter blahs and awake to the possibilities of a new world. The show is a stirring, reflective, and uplifting look-back at a time when humanity and the world were making big strides forward. Interestingly, it is not so removed from today. […]

Segal’s Small Mouth Sounds Speaks Loudly

We all need to get away, to recharge, and sometimes to reflect. But does it actually achieve anything? Are we actually growing or just engaging in personal indulgences? Small Mouth Sounds is a funny, harsh, and poignant examination on the personal quest for meaning in life. It is original and surprisingly intimate. A great cast […]

REVIEW: Finding Love and Revenge at Centaur’s Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost is a raging, fiery tale on the cycle of revenge, disobedience, and consequences. It is a wild and witty mix of innocence and cynicism, love and rebellion, anger and sacrifice. It is also a glaring battle of the sexes between the divine and the mortal. It is quite the package and it all […]

REVIEW: Little Dickens is Big Holiday Fun at Centaur

Little Dickens is a hugely entertaining, uproariously funny version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The story is told through beautiful string puppets, by Ronnie Burkett of The Daisy Theatre, with wicked improvisations, raunchy vaudeville, and a flash of burlesque. This is a very naughty and nice show (for grown-ups only) and a great kick […]
