Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company Tickets

Great acting, small intimate theater, and we'll put together show. One complaint. Seats hurt.

Mikveh is an incredible production. Holds one hostage to a consciousness of the struggles, the expectations, the limitations, the obligations, of orthodox Jewish women. However, the many 'chapters' of a handful of women, can represent oppression and control of many around the world. What a powerful production!

The story was interesting & the acting performance was excellent

Wow, we loved this show!! Every actor did an amazing job and the story was fun and thought-provoking. The characters were memorable. Extremely well done through and through. Highly recommended!

Me and my friend enjoyed the play very much. Actresses' performance is brilliant. Absolute pleasure. Please bring more shows like this to Toronto!

Thought-provoking, surprising, unexpected, amusing, concerning, hopeful, emotional, intense, effective, affecting. Fabulous.

I found myself totally “immersed” in Mikveh, rooting for the oppressed, and cheering the brave!

I enjoyed the play for its sincerity. It is not a masterpiece, but a lovely writing of a difficult matter. As I am not Jewish, it was also very informative.Very well staged, with a good team of actresses who deliver an emotional subect.

it was a wonderful performance. Just the right time.

I expected more of a play than a stand-up comedy routine but I wasn't disappointed. Brad was so funny. I laughed until I cried! I could relate to much of what he said. He has paid his dues and he deserves to be recognized among the top funny men of our time.

My Name is Asher Lev was fantastic! Moving and dramatic, the play held my attention from beginning to end (without intermission). The small cast - just 3 actors, 2 playing multiple roles - was engaging. I’d recommend the show to anyone who has a chance to catch it.

A wonderful play. We went with friends and we all loved it. We had tears in our eyes at the end...

Tradition and tragedy. Restraint and talent. Misunderstood genius and confused parents. Devotion to religion and roots. Admiration of the talent by the society.

Joe Matheson was very good and easy to listen to. Louise Pitre was far too loud for this venue and much too emotive. Enthusiasm is great, but in this case, it just detracted from the music.

The interactions with the parents were just so incredibly emotional. And the actors were so realistic and the theme of "choice" so heart-rending! Oh, my! Lots of tap dancing and ragtime and the costumes were beautiful! The set was so simple but you barely notice because you are so wrapped up in the conflict! Just powerful! Thank you! The trek along the hallways to the theatre is a bit strange...I thought I was lost in the basement! But the seats are comfortable and the show made up for the long walk. Not so good for people with mobility issues...but the ramp is long and not steep. You have to take your time.

The Jazz Singer (at Toronto Centre for the Arts) is based on the 1927 musical film with synchronized score and lip sych with 6 songs by Al Jolson which led to 3 other versions, 1952 with Danny Thomas, 1959 TV remake with Jerry Lewis, and 1980 remake with Neil Diamond, and 2 broadcasts on Lux Radio Theatre starring Al Jolson in 1936 and 1947. It was a broadway show in 1925 at the Fulton Theatre with George Jessel and ran for 303 performances starring George Jessel, and in 1927 was revived, again with George Jessel and only ran for 16 performances. It was great to see a stage version, and the cast put their hearts into this production, Patrick Cook manages to bring off the lead with great assurance, assisted by Kaylee Harwood as Mary, Theresa Tova as Sara, Jivaro Smith as Oscar bring off the songs of the era, Birth of the Blues, Blue Skies, Play a Simple Melody, Let Me Sing and I'm Happy, There's a Rainbow Round My Shoulder, Sonny Boy, Stormy Weather, Make Someone Happy and I'm Sitting on Top of the World. The ensemble as well must have made the Harold Green and Dancap organizations very proud indeed.For some reason most of the audience seemed to be sitting on their hands as the applause was minimal, and the company deserved so much more.

This show was fabulous!!! The story, of course is awesome...and it was so well actor by very talented artists. Their voices were fabulous...amazing talent!!! Enjoyable show!!!

Absolutely fantastic show. I watched it several times and it just keeps getting better

Good orchestra, dancers were average, acting and dancing of the lead actor was average, but good voice.

The Harold Green Theatre production of Jazz Singer had heads bobbing, toes tapping and countless audience members humming and singing show tunes all the way home from the theatre! The band was strong and in top form, cast voices and dancing was uniformly great and costumes were visually eye-catching and appealing. This retelling of the Al Jolson story managed in turn to tug at the heart as well as elevate spirits. The only thing wrong with this production was ... "It wasn't long enough!". Bravi and thank you!
