  • 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 ...

Stuck

Posted by jackiyo 5 Comments

I sit here because I have so much to write. I'm writing because I don't know what to write. I don't know where to start or what to say. I have posts in me, but they're stuck. I want to write about perceptions and perspectives and email carriers. I want to write ...

Hi July, I'd like to address you first, since I really do need to apologize. I feel as if I've taken you for granted. You were here for what seems like a blink and now you are gone. Gone until next year. It will be 11 whole months until I see ...

Power ballad love

Posted by jackiyo 2 Comments

Today's feels like a power ballad kind of day, so I'm compiling a list of some of my favs. Did yours make the cut? What did I miss? Sorry a couple wouldn't embed. I've hyperlinked them. One of my absolute favourites: High Enough - Damn Yankees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_uh8XjgLTE&ob=av2e My favourite of the Jovi power ballads: ...

This post is inspired by a chat I had with a friend. We were talking about marriage and sex and lack of sex and people that have broken up due (at least in part) to infidelity. Some interesting views came up. We know murder is broken into different degrees. Let's focus ...

McLennan Park - known as Mount Trashmore to anyone who's from Kitchener-Waterloo - has gone through a major facelift. The old dump site has been a large hill for years, being used as a forbidden toboggan hill. This year the plans for its revitalization have come to fruition. And they ...

So far this year I've seen four Stratford Shakespeare Festival productions. Jesus Christ Superstar is fantabulouly awesome and I hope to see it again before it moves on. Yes. It's moving on. JCS is headed to San Diego, then ... maybe Broadway?.... Who knows!? I also saw Grapes of Wrath. Again. ...

This has been quite the week for shows for me. My husband and I saw Italian Funerals & Other Festive Occasions on Sunday, Twelfth Night on Tuesday (fantastic, by the way), and I saw How the Other Half Loves last night with a friend. My husband had planned on joining me ...

Cars 2: A review

Posted by jackiyo 0 Comment

I took The Boy (4) to see Cars 2 on a Thursday matinee just before the schools let out for summer. His big sister was at school, enjoying her final day of Grade One. The Boy has been dying to see Cars 2 ever since the first teaser came out ...

I'm often wandering along, merrily meandering my way through life when something out of the blue makes me smile. I thought I'd share some of those things today. Driving along University Avenue in Waterloo. As I'm driving along between Fischer-Hallman and Erb Street, all of a sudden it feels as if I'm not ...

Who knew that sexism, sexual harassment and kidnapping could be so damn fun? It truly is a wild ride. Serious issues are dealt with through humour and toe-tapping songs. 9 to 5 originally came out in 1980 and we've been tapping our toes to that song ever since. You'd be hard-pressed ...
