![]() ![]() Into two lanes is probably why the show had to start 30 minutes late. UNNECESSARILY Funnelling all those people Such awesome stage capability - the on stage visuals were amateurish at best andĪnd yes - they could cut 5 minutes off the show if all the guitarists got haircuts. While the first female vocal was the highlight of the show, i felt after 20 years - and So i need to ask TSO - what the hell do fire breathing dragons have to do with And Fire breathing dragons and red lights took over and seemed to Well it seemed it started with a story - but then about half way thru the show - the Past - so i thought I already knew "The Story". I have the DVD (thanks SIs!) Ghosts of Christmas I was reminded that if i pay attention closely i could see the story unfold and beĮnriched - or something like that. My 9 year old told me as we were leaving.Mom that show was kind of devilish,įirst time to see TSO - and Good King Joy rocked! The second half of the show seemed to try and imbed thoughts and insinuations of Satan with some even heavier and darker type music as well. The "story" they told throughout the first half of the show made no sense and was dark. The show constantly showed what I can only compare to the boat tunnel scene of the original Willy Wonka with all the psychedelic strange images constantly flashing across the stage screen throughout the night that made no sense and left you confused. However the show seemed to have an overall dark feel with racy dancers and promiscuous scenes flashing on the screens. The musicians and vocalist were extremely talented. I was shocked to see the whole things was actually more of an 80's metal hair band group. I thought it would be more of an Orchestra with some rock band type themes mixed in. ![]() I took my family of 4 to see this show expecting some magical Christmas entertainment. The rest was an amazing Christmas story! Would see again! The whole place was rocking! Got it.” But with children there for a Christmas performance, it was like “okay what is this… a little sexual and weird.” If they would have said, “we’re now gonna play some of our other popular songs aside from the Christmas ones” that would have been better. My ONLY negative opinion is when the Christmas songs ended and they started some demonic looking performance, with flames on all of the screens, flames shooting out of cannons, a woman doing weird sexual movements in the flames in a nightgown on the video… It was so random and I didn’t understand what that had to do with Christmas stories. Old City Bar sounded soooo damn good!!! Like 1000x better than the song they recorded! It was magical! It was full of soul! It’s like being at an 70s/80s rock concert but with Christmas songs! The drums and electric guitars were so thrilling. ![]() We were a party of 9, and had little trouble getting seated at The Fox restaurant on Bay Street, which is literally across the street from the Air Canada Centre, along with a few other restaurants, and parking can be found all around the ACC from about $20-$30 for the evening. I can't wait to see them again next year, and would definitely recommend the show to everyone. The TSO's version gives a whole new meaning to the term 'classical rock.' People of all ages would love the concert, although it may be a bit loud for the younger ones. The effects were mind- blowing, and the sounds and the sights were just superb, and just when you thought it couldn't get any did! I am a huge fan of The Nutcracker, and quite frankly, I have never heard such a roaring rendition of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy as I did last night in Toronto (I'm certain that Tchaikovsky would have given his approval). ![]() I have never witnessed such a spectacular concert in my entire life. SPECTACULAR.BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN.PERIOD!! ![]()
