They usually have props set up for pictures too!

Most people won't think highly of a theatre at a publically run school. Surprisingly, Michael J…read more Fox theatre is one of the better theatres in the Lower Mainland. It was originally built as a part of Burnaby South Secondary School in 1993, and it was given the name Michael J. Fox theatre in 1995. I love the overall design. It feel and looks like a classic, yet modern theatre. There are 613 theatre seats and you can sit anywhere and you'll get very good view of the stage. The seats are very supportive and comfortable. Firm with good lumbar support. Unlike seats at many theatres that are very soft, seats at this theatre won't put you to sleep. After attending over a dozen assemblies and performances and I didn't experience body pain or discomfort. The stage is large enough to hold some large performances with many performers. The Nutcracker by Goh Ballet was excellent and the performers had a lot of room to do their moves. On rare occasions, Michael J. Fox theatre is used for viewing films. The drop down screen is good, but not great. This isn't a movie theatre for sure. What surprised me the most? Quality. I was at this theatre during opening day in 1993 for school. To this day, the seats look and feel almost like new and they don't squeak. Apparently, this theatre was designed to survive a 8.0 richter earthquake too. Honestly, this is the best theatre in Burnaby for the performing arts.

Prior to this I had never been to this theatre and was pleasantly surprised that it was also a part of the high school. I hadn't realized that before on the numerous times I had driven by. In another lifetime I worked for three live performing arts theatres and the Bell is definitely on par. The seating was great and intimate. I had a clear view of the stage from my seats although I would probably sit further back next time, my mistake when buying tickets. It was an overall good experience.

Sarkar perform magic with my late grandpa -- a deeply nostalgic and special feeling. We sat in the couple VIP seats, and the showmanship was exceptional. You can choose what magic will be performed in the show when you seat in these seats. The 75 minutes flew by. The secret location and the unique way you enter make the entire experience feel immersive from the very beginning. Truly one of a kind and a must-visit in New Westminster. The ambience has a flapper-era vibe, perfect for photos. So, definitely dress nicely, as there are great photo opportunities. Popcorn and pops are available, but honestly, you won't want to eat because you won't want to take your eyes off the magician, Shawn Farquhar for a second.

You are brought into the back one group at a time where you may purchase snacks and take pictures (i.e. the famous bathtub). The theatre is small and intimate, and there is truly no bad seat in the house. Shawn was personable, funny, and took the time to try and include every single audience member in some way. Available street parking in the evening. Overall, it was perfect for an unforgettable date night or an evening with friends. Highly recommended!

The layered buttered popcorn is done just the way I like it. I just wish it came in a smaller size than their regular. The only thing I'd recommend is to go early to order food that can be messy to eat in the dark. When the lights go out and the movie starts, it gets really difficult to see what you are eating. Other than that, can't fault this place. Plus movies in general are getting quite pricey but the venue does give you a good spot to indulge.

There are both pros and cons: Pro:…read more The amount of preparation by the actors becomes obvious as their performances are usually excellent. Cons: The new seats are designed for small people. Seats are narrow with little to no leg room. During musical performances, song lyrics often tell the story, but the live orchestra is always so loud it usually drowns out the lyrics. So, while the actors are doing their best, unfortunately, their singing simply can't be heard.

Tucked away in a corner of Queen's Park in New Westminster, I had no clue this theatre even existed until a friend promoted the play (and the theatre). There is the main parking area close by, or if you know your way around Queen's Park, you can park in the lanes right next to the theatre. There are just over 100 seats, and as soon as you walk in you will feel the building infused with character and history. (If you had any doubt, the numerous pictures on the wall will give you a hint about the rich history). There is a small lobby area, concession stand, and surprisingly roomy washrooms (a plus!) As I understand it, the concession stand and other roles during play productions are all staffed by volunteers who are members of Vagabond Players. I had never known this theatre existed, but now I will keep an active eye out for future productions.

It is charming and full of history, if only the walls could talk. It reminded me of pantomime plays performed in small town theater in Enid Blyton's books.

I was grown up watching lots of 80's and 90's movies and this was the great opportunity to join sound immersive experience with the orchestra. And it's only $19 The catch is this concert artists are still students from Vancouver Academy of Music. But they are great. They had lots of audiences and I was happy to help those kids(some are adults) as well. Everyone are happy. Before I booked online, I checked the seat map by the third party website. They have slight "width" difference. I choose wider seat on aisle and it was very comfortable. There was no price difference. I hope it helps you next time.
