What Did She Say

My mind is always open

  • Review: CATS

    Although there is the impending release of CATS the Musical the Movie (in theatres December 20), we're going to chat about CATS the Musical the Musical here. CATS is enjoying its current run at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto until January 5, 2020. Not only are the cats ...

  • Review: Girl From the North Country

    Credit: Tristan Baker (@TrisBaker) | Twitter "Ravishing", reads the banner in the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. I couldn't agree more. What a stunning show. I knew little to nothing about this show and I wasn't all that excited about the show when I first heard about it. I know a ...

  • Mirvish Fall Offerings

    It's almost fall. I know, I know. Shhh.... sorry. Mirvish has some sensational productions on tap for us - including two of my favourite musical superstars - Chilina Kennedy and Louise Pitre! You cannot go wrong with either of these powerhouses. Starting September 17, the Ed Mirvish Theatre will be ...

  • Review: Waitress

    Toronto is in for a treat - and I don't just mean the pie you can get in the lobby, although that is fabulous and fun. Waitress is a delight. With music and lyrics by the incredible Sara Bareilles, you know it's going to be good. Had 2016 not been ...

As of yesterday, my first- and fourth-graders can tell you. And no, I don't mean "lube and filter" lube. I mean, LUBE lube. Yes. Sexy sex lube. How did this all come about? Well, sit back and lemme tell you about yesterday. It started innocently enough, with a run-of-the-mill drive to school. ...

My son lives for Monster Jam. We've gone every year since he's been old enough (sometimes to both the Toronto and London stops). This will be our 4th Rogers Centre Monster Jam - and probably our 7th show. Somewhere along there I got hooked up with Feld Entertainment and we ...

Disney's newest musical, Aladdin, will take you wonder by wonder, including, of course, a magic carpet ride. Toronto is being delightfully treated to the world premiere, pre-Broadway engagement of this wonderful new musical by Disney. If you'd had the good fortune to see other Disney musicals, such as Beauty and the ...

We were invited by Mirvish Productions to see Les Misérables on its opening night on Wednesday, October 9. We already had tickets to see it later in the month, but  jumped at the chance to see the show as soon as we could. We made our way to Toronto early, ...

Moving on

Posted by jackiyo 8 Comments

The kids have been adjusting. They're settling into their new life with mostly Mommy, they're both doing well in school. They seem pretty happy most of the time. I haven't heard "I wish you and Daddy were still married" for at least a month or two. They're starting to get ...

I was thinking the other day as I sat in church (yes, I went to church for the first time in probably two decades where it wasn't for a wedding or funeral). My mind wandered to all the amazing theatre we have within about an hour's drive of Kitchener-Waterloo. And ...

There are three things that happen every year that my son counts down to. Christmas, his birthday and Monster Jam. We've been going to Monster Jam since The Boy was 2 1/2 - sometimes to both the Toronto show and the London show. Here was our first Monster Jam ever. ...

(Excuse me for dipping in and out of past/present/future tense in this post. I realize it, I'm just to lazy to fix it.) I tagged along on a work trip to Whistler, BC last week. And it was amazing. There were about a dozen of us in a chalet in the ...

All about Mirvish

Posted by jackiyo 0 Comment

Dancing nuns that have your butt grooving in your seat and butts grooving on stage that have your partner questioning his sexuality. Those are just a couple things I've encountered this month thanks to Mirvish Productions. First up was Sister Act. The musical is the movie brought to life on stage. ...
