This is a small but very comfortable polished theatre with strong advocacy for Canadian if not specifically SW Ontario way of life. Today we saw Judith, Memories of a Pig Farmer and left with lumps in our throats and talked all the way home recalling scenes and how moving and touching each moment was. We immediately booked tickets for another production in August. If you are going to go to Stratford or Drayton or Shaw festivals - check this venue out and get a taste of the real rural Ontario.

The Grand Theatre, under a variety of different names has been entertaining Londoners for over 100…read moreyears. I have been going to shows for over 30 years and am rarely disappointed. That being said, I don't go to every show but normally pick two or three a year that most interest me - not including smaller productions downstairs at the McManus or one off concerts or events. Admitedly, it may not have the production values of a big Broadway play but more importantly it doesn't have the cost. The seats are comfortable (well, relatively) the lobby and lounges are well decorated and they often off rotating art and/or interactive displays set up. There is a decent selection of beer and wine to be enjoyed at intermission and even cookies and juice for the kids - all at reasonable prices. Ideally situated in the heart of Richmond Row, it's easy to have a nice dinner beforehand or apres show drinks. I'm always amazed when I hear some people say they've never been as it's always been a part of my life and the cultural experience. I mean - yes, sure -- I've seen some plays that I enjoyed less than others but this can be pretty easily avoided with a little careful selection of what shows to see. London is lucky to have regional theatre of such an amazing caliber and I hope it's around for another 100 years!

It may not have the big production value shows, but they always have good shows on. Food selection could have been better. It is a great night out and would recommend it to anyone in London.

You'd be able to see well in any seat. I was really impressed with the production value. The sets were beautiful, the actors were all fantastic and incredible singers. I look forward to coming here for another show! They have a nice lobby for socializing and decent sized bathrooms - the line moved quick at intermission! 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.

They have a fun gift shop too. My only complaint is the seating. I prefer sitting in the first row here so I can make sure to see everything. The seating isn't raked like a typical theatre, so the second row is lower than the first, for example, so it makes it harder to see if you have a taller person in front of you. You can preorder a drink for intermission which is nice.

It's a very clean and modern facility, albeit it somewhat drab in color on the exterior (it matches the drab 1960's brick construction of PHN itself). Acoustics are quite good, as is sound system and lighting. I've been to several event here in the last decade, and have a pretty pleasant experience at all but one of them. All in all, a great venue for the community.

We had access to the stage, the green room, the kitchen, and more, with a knowledgeable person to run the sound and light boards for far less than you would expect.

Of course all my son did the next day was pick his nose with his bare fingers. Don't bring your kids here not your appetite!

The hall in Thunder Bay sounds better (IMHO) but that's subjective of course. The stage crew are very accommodating and help even the musical peons like me find an appropriate set-up so we can be comfortable on stage for the whole show. There is wifi around the back-stage area and the dressing rooms are both abundant and spacious. The crew have a lovely cork-board with an lovely assortment of funny clippings, comics and stuff that will no doubt give you a chuckle while killing time between sound checks and shows. Will I be back? Absolutely! As soon as I'm hired to be.
