They host a wide variety of shows here, so definitely worth checking back regularly to see what's on the docket. We saw Kuroko and it was a a real treat! They have a bar inside. Only downside is the chairs are quite uncomfortable and squeaky, but I guess that's part of the theatres character.

Were they really sick and didn't have an understudy? Did someone have celebration plans for New Year's Eve? What we saw of it was good. They were able to give us a refund since our show was canceled. It's a nice venue to watch a show like this. We had a great view of the stage from the balcony. It almost felt like being at a theatre for a movie than for live theatre. We almost saw a good show here. Thanks for giving us a refund.

My husband and I are season ticket holders and enjoy coming to this landmark on Granville Street…read more The frontage on Granville Street is a bit quaint which gives it its classic charm - ticket booth and all. Ushers are quick in scanning tickets so lines don't long esp on cold rainy days. As season ticket holders, we get the same seats for every show and this is important for us knowing we have the same good spot. If you enjoy watching live performances, support this theater!

Bought a ticket online to catch the last show dates of Stiles and Drewe's the Three Little Pigs. Felt like good entertainment for both adults and kids. Actors sang well and articulated their lines well. Recommend bringing kids that can sit still for 45 minutes to enjoy the musical. Kid audience seemed to be captivated by music and were happily interacting with the big bad wolf! Kid activities are a success when it makes a kid happy... after all, happy kid means happy parents :) Their tiered aisles seating plan makes every aisle or seat a good seat where you won't be blocked. Just simply choose based on your liking on how close to the stage you prefer. Buy tickets online and present e-tickets at entrance. Tickets breakdown: Adults $35 , Youth/kids $18 and Senior $29 Sadly, there are no snacks or drinks sold inside so plan your meal before or after the show. Small theatre with great entertainment value plus courteous staff makes for a fun activity!

My husband,…read moredaughter and I watched "Go Dogs Go!" during the day about a musical based on the Dr. Seuss book. The theatre is small, but cozy. The seats are comfortable and everyone was able to see the stage without any trouble. There's no food or drinks allowed in the theatre so make sure you finish all your snacks before going in. Parking can be a pain since it's Granville Island and you may have a walk quite far, but make it a day there. Have lunch and enjoy the rest of Granville Island as well.

She was absolutely spot on and our group of four had a wonderful evening seeing "We Will Rock You" and even got to sing-along without getting kicked out! Fantastic venue, beautiful setting, fun show and helpful staff. Some tips: Parking/Bus: Two pay parking spots near Malkin Bowl. The bus loops is also nearby within a 5-minute walk. Food: You can bring your own picnic and have dinner outside in the lovely little garden or inside the theatre on the grass area or at your seat. Their Café inside offers hot dogs, popcorn, cold/hot drinks and beer/wine. At intermission, the bar/café was busy so plan ahead and pre-order your drinks. Venue: Ticket prices were reasonable - cost more for the front and less for the back. We sat at the back and enjoyed equally. Big plastic lawn chairs to sit. If you find the chairs too hard on your bottoms, you rent seat cushions by donation. I just sat on my blanket and that helped. As the chairs are outside, they can be dusty so bring a cloth to wipe before you sit down. Portable toilets inside the theatre's ground but if you want "real" washrooms they are located a minute walk off the site at the Stanley Park Dining Pavilion. Bring bug spray as there mosquitos around. Best to apply before the show starts. Being additional layers to keep warm. Once the sun goes down it can get chilly.

Some of the costumes looked as if they were trying to be ironic, but others were amazing. Ursula's and the jellyfishes were my favorites. Hot chocolate and coffee were really reasonable priced ($4).

This is my third time visiting Michael J Fox Theatre and I love it!…read more The seats are more comfortable and more roomy than the theatres downtown Vancouver. I've watched 2 musicals and 1 magic show here and the seats were all close enough. I really enjoy picking seats online before the show. Our favourite spots are Upper Centre, Row H. Its first row so nobody will block my view! Not to mention, free parking! This theater is part of Burnaby South high school but during the shows, the set up is quite nice in the foyer. 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.

Meet me at Vie's, tells the story of the iconic Vie's Chicken & Steakhouse restaurant, formerly located on Union St @ Main in Chinatown. In fact if you go there now, you can still see a shell of the building. The rich history of this restaurant is mind boggling. Nora Hendrix, grandmother to Jimi, worked in the kitchen. In fact Jimi would come up to Vancouver from Seattle in the summers. The who's who of entertainment back in the day, passed through here for a meal & to hangout.

Meet me at Vie's, starred Krystle Dos Santos, Dawn Pemberton, Chris Davis & Steve Charles. The music, songs & singing, were all performed in an outstanding show. They all delivered a solid strong performance in taking us back in time to Vie's. The theatre is sparkling new, seating comfortable & up close to the stage. The AC is excellent - great climate control. Keep in mind that although they do sell drinks here, the selection for cocktails & beer is very limited. As well, food is nada. You're better off eating & drinking at one of several bars & restaurants in the area before taking in a performance here. A great venue close to popular False Creek - a gem in downtown Vancouver.

The lounge area wasn't big, but it had popcorn, drinks and some standing area. What I really like was the inside seating area. The seats were super comfortable and because the theatre wasn't huge, wherever you sat was basically a front row view of the theatre. I really like the intimate and cozy feel. What was also great was at the end, you can sill have drinks and chat about the play in the lounge area. This theatre is in the heart of Olympic Village so you can have dinner or a nice walk before the show. Parking is limited to metered street parking unless you park pretty far away. An alternative is to take the skytrain to the theatre.
