Shows that Caught Our Eye in Toronto for the Week of November 18, 2019

It’s beginning to look a lot like… winter theatre season!  There are some fabulous shows  running at any number of theatre spaces in the city, and sometimes it can be hard to choose which show hits the top of the ‘To-Go-To’ list.  I have definitely started planning my Holiday ‘wish list’ because theatre tickets are a stellar gift to get.  And to give!

All of us at Mooney are excited about so many of the plays, dance performances, and comedies that are coming out over the next while, and there really is something for everyone!  I’m going to let you know what has caught my eye this week. Check out my ‘reds’ to see what of this exciting list has made my ‘Theatre Wish List’ this week.

Well, there was snow in the air last week, so it’s officially cold enough for scarves and gloves season.  It also means that we are deep into the Toronto Theatre Season.  Another dusting of new shows open at most of the main company stages this week and next.  And, alongside those shows comes many new plays, dance shows, musicals, and comedy as well.

Cheap Theatre in Toronto for the Week of November 4, 2019

MoT’s 5 under $25 for the Week of November 4, 2019.

And with the end of October, we’ve been thrown right into the cold dampness of seasonal weather.  The trees have almost totally lost their leaves, and the start of winter chill is in the air.  It’s hibernation time!  For me, that means the urge to bundle up in thick fleece blankets and not leave my house.  Which means that I have to fight to get up and active and use that gym membership that burns a hole in my wallet.

So this week I’m combining my need to be active, my daughter’s love of all things dance (seriously… her dance fees each month are WHY I need to find theatre on the cheap!), and am focusing on 5 live dance experiences in Toronto with ticket prices of $25 or less, playing this week of November 4th, 2019. Check out the live dance that will have you grooving along and shaking off your hibernation vibe ‘on the cheap’! Continue reading Cheap Theatre in Toronto for the Week of November 4, 2019
