the 2013 season is off to a great start! I have been going to Stratford since 1974 and I feel it offers the best in theatre anywhere. It is the only place where the staging, costuming, music, acting, etc. comes together to give you the best experience ever. I just saw Fiddler on the Roof in preview form and felt...

Absolutely a must view for any child of the sixties and lover of the Who. Stratford does a brilliant job of staging this work. 100% pure enjoyment!

Tommy was wonderful-loved Cousin Kevin! Kudos to the director and all involved form the actors to those behind the scenes. Good seats at the Avon are somewhat of a challenge-avoid the right front area if possible.
Acting in Mary Stuart is superb. Not much action, but the reason to purchase tickets is THE acting.
Romeo and Juliet is staged, costumed...

Saw Tommy at the Avon Theatre, and the show went on without a hitch (and if there were any, we didn't notice!). Fantastic staging and production, and the actors portraying Captain Walker and the Acid Queen were especially outstanding singers. Well worth making the trip to Stratford to see!

Thanks for joining us to see Tommy - it's the biggest musical we've ever mounted at the Festival and we're having a blast. We'll send your regards to Captain Walker (Jeremy Kushnier) and the Acid Queen, (Jewelle Blackman)!

If you can see only one show this season, make it Fiddler. Great staging, athletic dancers and beautiful voices blend together to make this show outstanding. If we did not have to far to drive,we would love to see this moving production again. Thanks for a memorable evening.

Just got back from the second production of Tommy...a few glitches, but none that were too off-putting from an extremely well-done play. Kudos to all, especially the leads playing Tommy!

The Festival Theatre is a beautiful theatre surrounded by picturesque scenery. The snacks were a little pricey and you can't bring anything back into the theatre with you (so I don't recommend buying a coffee! LOL).
We saw Fiddler on the Roof and it was absolutely fantastic; Romeo & Juliet on the other hand, well, we left during this intermission...

The festival theatre is big, and beautiful , but the seats are close to the person in front of you. You are knocking the person in front of you in the head if you move your legs.
