What a treat to see Robert Klein after so many years. It was a wonderful, warm, funny show and I felt like I’d spent the afternoon with an old friend.
This one man play was fabulous! The actor was so incredible. Real talent! The discussion after the performance was excellent too.
Superb. Professional, thought provoking, I didn't take my eyes off the performance for a minute. Both content and execution of the performance were top notch.
Knock Knock is a powerful tour de force. The acting was astonishing. It was a deeply moving experience.
The theater was beautiful, the singers excellent and the band was awesome. Great atmosphere.
Absolutely loved the Harold Green fundraiser last week at the Meridian Arts Centre. So many talented singers featured the music of Bette Midler and Barry Manilow. I sang along to every song , so many beautifully sung songs ; I can’t pick a favourite. Bravo to a fabulously produced show!
While we were happy to support Harold Green Jewish Theatre, we were shocked at the poor imitation of what this Tribute Show is meant to be. Without the two expert performers who have toured and showcased this great music, this production fell flat. The lack of staging and often mediocre singing quality was a disservice and insult to Bette Midler and Barry Manilow. In spite of excellent music direction and a very capable band, their great music was not always showcased in a professional way. As Director, Avery Saltzman did not need to be part of the performance. We would have happily paid more for tickets to the real tribute show with the authentic impersonators of Bette Midler and Barry Manilow. This version of "Ya Gotta Have Friends" was a poor imitation of the original concept of this Tribute Show.
The Harold Green fundraiser was spectacular! The performers were unbelievably talented! Best show I’ve seen in ages!
The talent was amazing. The choir, however, needed overhead mikes.
Overall positive experience. Nice theatre, enjoyable plays. Thank you!
