Fast Food Follies is a hilarious account of a fast food chain’s reclaim to fame playing at Toronto’s Unit 102
What do a money-grubbing international burger conglomerate, a cyborg lawyer and two insomniac stoners have in common? Although these items sound like the basis for a great limerick, they’re actually the ingredients for Fast Food Follies – a show which chronicles one burger chain’s attempt to win back the hearts of their declining 30-something demographic.
Jack Your Body celebrates underground dance trends through the ages at Toronto’s Next Stage Theatre Festival
Back by popular demand to this year’s Next Stage Theatre Festival is Mix Mix Collective‘s Jack Your Body, version 2.0, having made their debut at last year’s Fringe. Jack Your Body is a diverse and innovative celebration of underground dance styles through the ages from the here and now straight through to 70s’ Soul Train.
Dance performances for me have always been a hit or miss. Though I’m far from a dance aficionado, I can appreciate a piece of beautiful movement. If well performed, choreographed and executed, you’ll have me sold. Unfortunately, Jack Your Body didn’t entirely sell me.
We were talking before the show and I was telling him that sometimes it’s hard to write a review about a show that I really like. I just want to write “I loved it. Go see it, it’s really good.”
This is one of those shows. Go see it. It’s lovely.
