    Great show, mediocre sound

    by Charles T on 2023-09-29Massey Hall - Toronto

    Janelle put on a great show all-around. I just wish the sound mixing did justice to the show. Seated on the first balcony nearly front and center, the sound was just really blown out. Vocals buried far enough under the mix that I was glad I knew the songs, because I wouldn't have easily understood them otherwise. And I know Massey Hall can have great sound - it was phenomenal when I came for Buffy Sainte-Marie and Amanda Marshall.

    So Phenomenal

    by She and all her best friends on 2023-09-28Massey Hall - Toronto

    An intimate and well-conceived celebration of the boundless talents of an incredible artist. Joyous and life-affirming, Monae's performance was thrilling, start to finish. Kudos to their entire team of dancers, musicians, designers and technicians! It was also a delight to experience the renovated Massey Hall, a beloved venue with audience-friendly policies, amenities and staff. Five stars all around!

    Transcendent

    by JoeJam35 on 2023-09-27Massey Hall - Toronto

    Janelle Monae's show is the epitome of live musical performance, with theatricality, dance, musicianship, vocals, and style at a whole other level. The sets (chapters) were each their own genre mashing adventure and allowed Monae to showcase her powerful voice, rhythmic vocals, penetrating raps and sublime crowd work. The talented band rocked the house with a duo of horns that brought so much life and energy throughout the night. The music was as diverse as the crowd, with the main through line being positivity, love, acceptance, joy, and excellence. At times it felt like we were witnessing the soul and spirit of Prince and James Brown channelled through Monae's smile, light, and smooth footwork. The venue itself is as majestic as Monae, with a storied history as intriguing as the singer's influences. The staff are fantastic and very nice. However, there was an odd moment that the venue could and should address. The wheelchair seating seems to be BEHIND 8 rows of attendees, so once the crowd stood to enjoy the show and get their groove on, the people with accessibility needs had their view blocked. In fact, it was hard for me to see over the person in front of me once they stood up, so there wasn't a chance someone confined to a wheelchair would be able to view the stage below, given the sight lines. It caused a moment of real stress for all involved, as we offered to move out of our seats and behind the wheelchair aisle, only to be ushered back to our chairs to keep the aisles clear (another understandable safety precaution). We were caught between respecting the rights of someone with disabilities, and our own right to be in the seats we paid for. Massey Hall would be wise to install or institute better seating locations for those with disabilities, either in front of the crowd in the first row, or some sort of high riser that elevates them at the back. I'm sure for a regular sit down type of show or event, where audiences remain seated the entire time, the location works for all. But when it comes to a concert venue which often encourages standing and dancing, the accessible seating is anything but and only makes for an awkward and disappointing experience for everyone involved. Despite this distraction and the feelings of shame and confusion that came with it, we were able to enjoy the show and would highly recommend Janelle Monae to anyone thinking about going. It was two hours of dynamite entertainment, love, and life.

    Phenomenal performance

    by J. G. on 2023-09-26

    This show was hands down one of the best I have ever seen. Well thought out sequence of songs, with fantastic costume changes and dance routines. The band and dancers were so awesome. Loved when she brought people to dance on stage. And the music was an amazing mix of reggae, pop, funk and soul blended into a Monae-tastic performance. Queen, I salute you!

    Janelle Monae and her crew killed it in TO!!!

    by TK:) on 2023-09-26Massey Hall - Toronto

    I caught Janelle’s show at Massey Hall in Toronto on Friday, September 22/2023. I unfortunately arrived 15 miNs late to the show due to crazy traffic, and it was in full swing when I arrived. It was a musical extravaganza that I absolutely loved. I just wish that I had a touch more room to dance. Janelle had ten other performers on stage with her, and they all added style n skill to the show. She was on fire, dynamite vocals, sexy costumes, inspirational speeches, booty shaking dancing, and overall an extremely entertaining evening. Thank you Janelle et all, you were delightful:)

    Multi-talented performer

    by K H on 2023-09-25MTELUS - Montreal

    Multi-talented Janelle Monae, singer, musician, songwriter, dancer, actor, author, poet. She does everything! Her latest album, The Age of Pleasure, is a mature, diverse collection of songs. Highly recommend. Great live show, with backup dancers.

    Vegas-Style Act on a Massey-Hall Scale

    by Elaine on 2023-09-25Massey Hall - Toronto

    Janelle Monae gives her all in performance and that means singing, dancing and interacting with the audience. Great visuals, great video, great band, great costumes and moves. Unfortunately, the sound wasn't what I hoped. Her lovely voice was overpowered by the pounding bass and it was hard to make out her words. Her charm shone through, however! And her fans were on their feet throughout the performance. The revamped venue is nice -- enough leg room and wide enough seats, although I'm fairly short. The lounge on the third level is spacious.
