  • 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 ...

Putting pen to paper

Posted by jackiyo 2 Comments

I feel like writing. I don't feel like writing. I have a million words swirling in my head. I have no words making it to my fingertips. I have stories to tell. But they're not just my stories to share. They affect other people and its not fair to be so selfish to think it's ...

The unofficial start to the summer is fast approaching. Can I get a collective WOOT!! please? Victoria Day Weekend is almost here. What am I saying? I'm Canadian for toque-sake... May two-four is almost here. This post is about something that is important all year round, but since cottage, camping and patio ...

The Change

Posted by jackiyo 6 Comments

I've gone through the change. I will never be the same. I'm in a club that once you enter, you can never leave. (Kinda like the mob, but without the knee-cap smashing.) My change came January 8, 2004. In the evening. It was about a month after I found out I was pregnant with ...

Thinking in the rain

Posted by jackiyo 5 Comments

Today was a cloudy, but warm and dry day. Right up until I was about two blocks from picking Baby Girl up from school. Then it got dark, windy and VERY rainy. A downpour, if you will. There was still about ten minutes to go until I had to be ...

When I found out I was pregnant with my first child I was ecstatic. I was absolutely bursting with emotion and I couldn't reach my husband. I sat on my stairs at home. I rocked a bit. I bounced. I was going nuts. I had to tell someone! So, I ...

I just want to give Twitter a big group hug! The last week or so was a big week for events and stuff going on. I had received an invitation from Mirvish Productions to attend the opening night performance of The Lion King and immediately said yes! I was SO excited ...

*Reposted for a friend of mine* It was such a gorgeous day today. Bea-u-ti-ful!! The kids and I thought a picnic in the park was in order. We packed up din-din, a blanket and some water and headed to the park. What a great time. Baby Girl and I ...

I don't know when it started. I don't know why it started. I just know it started. And it hasn't stopped. Maybe it started back in grade six when Jenny made fun of my running. Maybe it started back in grade seven when I was told by my boyfriend (at age 12 are they ...

You know how I could tell I screamed? Loudly? My throat was sore for the whole night after the play was over. Let me back up the truck for a moment. Ghost Stories is a production Mirvish brought to Toronto and is currently playing at the Panasonic Theatre. I had seen ...
