Ottawa Theatre Review: Orpheus Musical Theatre Presents: Singin’ In The Rain
Hello, Ottawa! I had the pleasure of seeing Orpheus Musical Theatre’s latest show, Singin’ in the Rain. Many know this classical musical from the 1950’s film directed and starring Gene Kelly.

Ottawa Event Review: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Orpheus
Friday night, I was happy to be invited to go and attend Orpheus’ latest play, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

That’s the extent of the […]

So, when I heard that Orpheus Musical Theatre would be performing the stage production of Grease, I was very excited. I most recently saw Orpheus’ production of Shrek, and […]

Juno Awards Review…as a Seat Filler!
I was one of the very lucky people who got to attend the Juno awards this past Sunday night at the Canadian Tire Centre. These awards honour the greatest musicians in Canada in a glamorous affair rivaled (arguably) only by the Oscars and possibly Grammy’s. This event filled the stadium and drew hundreds of thousands, […]
