Went to go and see another magnificent production at the Regent Theatre in Oshawa on Saturday July 16, 2022. The Mansfields have outdone themselves again bringing the magic of Peter Pan to life. Way to go Joan and Zac, and your talented cast of course! As a music teacher I was drooling over the skill of live band and the singing/harmonies were goosebump worthy. The sets and lighting were inspiring and dreamy. My children, 12, 11, and 8 enjoyed everything about the show and we were impressed by every professional and accommodating staff members at the Regent Theatre. Definitely looking forward to the next production. Thanks to all involved.

We just saw Peter Pan the British Musical with three grand kids. Great show and the sound and music was just so crystal clear. The kids loved the interaction with the audience too!

Downtown Oshawa is alive again!
Concert starts every Saturday at 4pm and runs til 10pm for the month of August.
5 different artists take turns on stage.
Some seating is available with masks.
Bring your own chair for more comfy relaxed seating.

I LOVE the regent theatre! We come to see all Silly Stages performances. We live in Oakville however make the drive because their shows are fantastic. We love the Pantomime shows. Old and young the humour is amazing! Well directed, sensational talent, fantastic writers and brilliant choreography! Cannot wait to go back! So sad we are missing Silly Stages summer shows!!! 🥰

We have been to the Regent many times for various shows/concerts. We saw the Box on Friday and Bowie Lives Saturday.
Both were amazing. Most staff is friendly except one who works behind the bar. Everytime he is there he looks absolutely miserable. People are out for a good fun night smile have fun with people.
Shows amazing clean venue.

What a great show. This was my first time at this venue and I can honestly say there isn't a bad seat in the house.
I booked tickets for this several months before and we were a large group (30+) I booked with Valarie and she was incredibly helpful in organizing our tickets and having them ready for pick up.
As we were a large group of mostly women, I was worried that we were going to be louder than the show (because who doesn't sing a long to all these songs?!). Thankfully the sound was fantastic and we didn't upstage them.
The night started with Night Fever, and this guys were brilliant. Bee Gees is not an easy band to cover and if I closed my eyes I would have thought that it was the real Bee Gees. Next up was ABBA and they were great as well. Both bands were interactive with the audience.
I can't wait to go back to see another show here.

Went to a quartet that has been together for 26 years. I really wasn't sure I would enjoy it. I was enthralled with their songs, songwriting and how well these four women played various instruments. They were fantabulous (dictgionary of Leanna) and I would go again. The REGENT theatre is wonderfully maintained and elegant/beautiful. In an age where the old theatres are being closed and torn down THIS one is extremely well maintained and loved. The price to go to this venue was very very reasonable for anyone.

My family and I were very excited when we found out one of our favorite films was on at the regent! However when my wife went to buy tix a day early for us she was told there were no pre sales. this wouldn't be a problem usually but in this case my son who has cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound will be attending with us. There are a total of 4 accessible seats at the regent. My wife was told to come early. Would it not be a better policy to allow people in need of these seats to at least reserve them...rather than putting them in a position where they have to race to the venue an hour early in hope that they will simply have a seat? this policy is outdated and insensitive.

Just beware the cost of a ticket is much higher than advertised after fees x2 are added.
A $50.00 ticket is actually $58.00. A $45.00 ticket is actually $53.00. They have even added a $5.00 fee to raise money for a benefit concert.

This was the worst Pink Floyd tribute band I have ever seen the Floyd Factor at the Casino Du Lac-Leamy Friday September 13th 2019 no video setup the sax player looked like he was drunk and couldn't play the keyboard player sounded like he was in the karaoke band when they needed to play with the slide guitar it had no sound the drummer was bouncing up and down like a yo-yo. This band is terrible.
