The Canadian Stage Company
Bluma Appel Theatre
May 3, 2010-May 29, 2010 – Mon to Sat 8pm, Wed 1:30pm, Sat 2pm,

Z and I went to this play yesterday night. We got some (free) tickets courtesy of my co-worker, C. Thanks C! The play was great.

*Spoiler Alerts*
Much like Wicked, when the play started, I thought to myself “argh, this is gonna be a looooong play…”. The play had to win me over….and it did. Immediately after it began…surprise surprise, they started to sing. Yes, this play was a musical. But the music was great, the actor’s voices superb.

The play was eerily creepy…it was very Tim Burtoneque…the makeup, the scenery…it totally reminded me of like, a real life Nightmare before Christmas.

The actors also did this kinda….Joker from the Dark Knight paint to the eyes.

There were only 8 actors and actresses for 2 hours….it was crazy tho, they way they rotate and handle everything, I thought there was like, 20. Everything was so efficiently done!

Anyways, it was definitely worth watching!

Sadly, today is the last day this play is performing :( So odds are, you won’t be able to watch this…

/felt like part of high society for a moment
