The bed was comfy, the room was clean and yes it was a suite. We got the room for $80, taxes included. We didn't visit any of the entertainment parts, because we were tired after the wedding! All in all, I wouldn't stay here again because it was a bit shabby, but it wasn't terrible by any means.

I came here to watch Beautiful: The Carol King Musical. It was not exactly close to me. I live in the east side, but the theatre is easily accessible via the 401 or 407. The snack bar service was quite slow, for the size of the theatre, 2 cashiers are needed and 2 servers and more variety of snacks would be great. My only comment that's kind of negative is that the stairs need more lighting especially when the theatre is dark. I watched many elderly folks struggle trying to see the steps and find their way down the stairs. Super dangerous for seniors and little kids.

The show was on for 3 nights and we were in for about a week in total rehearsing, and the staff who worked in the theatre were all wonderful, lovely people. The theatre itself is a great place to do a show; it doesn't seat very many but it's a good amount for a small performance. The dressing rooms, all of backstage and the wings of the stage are all big comfortable spaces, and the theatre is incredibly kept. I loved working here and I would love an opportunity to do another performance in this theatre!

They also have a snack bar, which I was expecting to pay terrible prices for. But, snacks for the kids, and coffee for me, were incredibly reasonable. Also, the paid parking lot under the theatre was cheaper than taking the subway anywhere in Toronto. On top of that, you're right in the heart of the area, so there's lots to see and do when you're walking around. All in all, it's a great experience.

They have your typical theatre refreshments and friendly staff. The best part is that there is free parking with a handful of different restaurants in walking distance if you wanted to do dinner and a show.

The Oakville Centre…read moreFor The Performing Arts is a perfect community auditorium, seating around 400 people, to host The Burl Oak Theatre Group's production. The Centre was filled, seemingly, to capacity and radiated with energy the of young children and their families. The play, itself was well done. It kept my four and seven year old nieces engaged for two hours- a difficult task to accomplish. Based on the Peter Pan story, of Disney fame, this interpretation is seeded by contemporary and retro songs that had adults and kids bouncing in their seats. Accolades to the director, Chantal Forde and Tim Cadney, who played Captain Hook and Mr. Darling, are merited. The latter actor stole the show. Bravo!

Jessica Simpson was the opening act for the first half hour, then there was a 20 minute break, and then Teri and her band belted out the tunes for an hour and a half! Fabulous!! Meanwhile, I purchased the tickets on line which was easy, and they were scanned easily to get in. The staff was friendly and helpful. The seats were close and comfy in this intimate theatre, and it holds about 1000 people (looked like it was sold out). Although they sell beverages during the intermission, there's also a water dispenser in the wall (like at a hockey rink, to fill a bottle), and the facility provides plastic cups - and the water is tasty and free! To top it all off, they ask people to toss the cups in recycling. I would go back.

We ended up striking up a friendship, for which I am thankful! She asked me whether I wanted to see Cavalia with her. Considering that I live under a rock thanks to work, I managed to do a search online and said yes. She described the event as being Cirque du Soleil meets horses. She bought the tickets and I paid her back for my ticket. I drove us over there. Parking by the white tents at Hershey Centre went for $15. There was plenty of parking when we got there ten minutes before the show started. You can pay for parking at any cashier. The woman at the will-call area was friendly and helpful. The only improvement suggestion that I have would be to have more staff guiding folks to seats. My friend and I had no trouble finding our seats. However, two women disputed where we sat. We move, checked the section and seats, and told them that they were mistaken. They apologized profusely. Luckily, were were all understanding. The performance was wonderful. I was wondering how all the horses would endure. They seemed well-treated and behaved. The trainers, performers, and horses showed patience, confidence, grace, and skill. Whomever decided to incorporate horses in a beautifully choreographed show is brilliant! Intermission was thirty minutes. I am guessing that the horses needed more time to rest and replenish. My friend and I looked at the gift store goodies, snacks, and artwork that you could purchase. If you have a chance to see this show, go! It's so different. I had a great time with great company.

Saw Cavalia's "Odysseo" in Mississauga with a large group of seven on June 23, 2017…read more We got the VIP package which included a dinner buffet before the show, open bar (wine and beer), and dessert buffet during intermission, access to the stables after the show, and a souvenir (book). I think the package was quite worth it: The pre-show buffet was quite good. It seemed like there was a bit of a Mediterranean taste to the buffet with couscous and pita bread. There was also smoked salmon, shrimp, kale salad, and pasta. The steak sirloin pieces were star of the buffet. They were tender, and grilled an excellent medium. There weren't too many different items; the buffet was more quality over quantity. There was also a station serving mini-sliders, pizza, and popcorn. You could bring the popcorn into the show to snack on. The open bar served wine and beer, but you could also get a variety of soft drinks and bottled water you could bring into the show. So, for the $40-or-so upgrade you almost get your money's worth right there. The dessert buffet during the intermission was a nice treat too. You went back to the separate VIP tent, and a selection of cakes, pastries, fruits, and other sweets. The bar was open again too. Perhaps the only downside was that you only got 30 minutes, so by the time you came over from your seats you didn't have much time. The VIP passes allowed access to the stables after the show. You had to wait a little bit while they got the horses settled, but once we were allowed in you could walk around and see the horses. You were not allowed to touch or feed them, but you could see the vet tech's attending to the horses after the show. There was also an opportunity to take photos with and get autographs from human performers. As for the performance itself, I came in with very high expectations and it exceeded them all. Having paid a lot of money and having seen 3 Cirque Du Soleil shows, I was worried I would feel let down by this show in the suburbs. I was mistaken. This was a truly high-quality show, to rival the entertainment you would get at any concert or sporting venue. I don't know anything about horses, or dressage, or such. And it didn't matter. Such large animals, moving so fast, in formation, almost dancing was impressive. The performers also did tricks with the animals that looked very impressive, like doing acrobatics and tricks in (and sometimes under) the saddles, and other rather dangerous-looking stunts. There was also a lot of performance quality from the non-equine, human performers. There was a troop of acrobats that performed very impressive feats of human athleticism. And there was impressive gymnastics-like work you would expect from a circus show. One particular scene with a "carousel" was particularly impressive. I've used the word impressive a lot, but that's the word that keeps coming to mind! It was all choreographed very beautifully, and time seemed to fly; the show never seemed to drag and I never checked my watch. One review I read before said the show was full of human and equine muscle. These performers with their 8-pack abs lived up to that moniker. The White Big Top tent was a performer itself. They truly transformed this empty field into a temporary stadium. It felt much larger inside than it appeared on the outside. At first I was concerned the stage was really small, but curtains rolled back throughout the show to reveal a rather large stage for the horses, acrobats, and other performers to perform. The use of screens and lighting were also very effective at conveying the different climates and topography they were trying to emulate. And their use of water was something that definitely would not have been possible in a stadium. The tent was a performer in itself! I did not take any photos during the show because they asked for no pictures or recordings, especially no flash photography. Quite a few people did though, which was disappointing, and a little rude. Perhaps the only reason I wouldn't rate it 5/5 stars, would be the price. It is a rather steep price for ticket. In an era where we're used to streaming content almost for free, spending $200+ for a show feels like an extravagant anachronism. I understand and I see why it was so expensive, and I feel we got a very high-quality performance, but I can see how the ticket price could discourage some people. And, I didn't like that we had to pay for parking, when parking at the Hershey Centre is normally free. But, as I said before, the show was impressive, an impressive merging of horseplay and gymnastics. It is pricey, but high-quality.
