December Events

White Christmas - Sony Centre ****
The Rockettes tapped their way into our hearts last year and White Christmas continued the tradition this year. Broadway-class musical with costume changes, set changes and a happy ending. The barn door opened, the snow fell and I had a tear in my eye. In the end, I skipped out of the theatre with a smile on my face. I'm happy this seasonal musical breezed into town and happier that I squeezed it in.

Andre Rieu - Hit All the Right Notes
December 14, Rogers Centre
It was a night to remember for the 20,000 or so mostly golden age fans who cheered and sang while witnessing what may become a statistic in the Guiness World Records. Add to the 122 metre-wide recreation of Vienna's Schonbrunn Palace: 96 chandliers, 2 ice rinks, 2 working fountains, 14 carriages pulled by 36 horses, 450 performers ending with 20,000 balloons. Oh, and the music was great!
