One of the best experiences

AWESOME!!
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
Of all the How to Train your Dragons movies, this is the best one, though would LOVE to see the other ones as well… according to my 16 year old. He loves the sound track and was rockin’ it during his favourite songs. We liked that you had the subtitles… since the orchestra was a bit louder at times, I presume because of where we sat (upper centre back). The crowd was great and the orchestra was AWESOME!!

Amazing Performance
Meridian Hall - Toronto
This experience was honestly incredible. The music was so good it made me emotional, and it gave me a new appreciation for the soundtracks in my favourite movies. I would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of late audience members. I had read in the venue details that the doors would close at 7:30 and if you missed you would have to wait until the intermission to sit down. I live far, and for this reason I had to take an earlier train to ensure I was in my seat in time. However, after the performance had started, several late audience members were allowed in and were very disruptive with their flashlights, opening popcorn, and making the whole row stand up so they could sit down. I think everyone should be held to this standard of showing up on time or missing the first half, because it takes away from the experience for others. Other than that, it truly was a fantastic experience.

Highlight of my year
Meridian Hall - Toronto
It's one thing to watch your favorite movie. It's another to see it with the soundtrack played live in an audience full of people cheering right alongside you. The Orchestra was fantastic and the subtitles were a great touch to make sure no one missed anything when the music was loud. Such a fun and wonderful experience, I would definitely go again if ever possible.

HTTYD in Concert
Meridian Hall - Toronto
It was amazing! Such a great performance and it felt so magical. The only downside were the people near us, who kept reciting the lines to the movie and that was really disturbing. It would be great to have the conductor tell the audience to be mindful of others or have some sort of security. Performance itself was amazing!

Just WOW
Meridian Hall - Toronto
What an amazing experience, all I can say is wow! The live music just took the movie to a whole new level of appreciation and awe. Hearing the live orchestra alongside such a spectacular film was amazing, and I’m certainly hooked and will be looking for other shows like this with such iconic films and their scores. Thanks again!

Great evening
Meridian Hall - Toronto
I took my granddaughter (9 yrs old) to see this show, knowing very little about it in advance. It was a fun evening! We loved the movie and the orchestra really enhanced the experience. The crowd was very enthusiastic cheering and booing at all the appropriate spots. Highly recommend!

Great experience, but wish the audio mixing was better
Meridian Hall - Toronto
Honestly, I really enjoyed the show, but multiple times throughout I kept thinking the sound quality would be much nicer watching at home with a good quality sound system and the sound mixing of the original soundtrack. I think the experience would have been so much better if it was performed acoustically... Or at least, I would have been able to better seperate and appreciate the experiences of watching the original in a theatre versus with a live Orchestra. I wish the music part could be elevated more as the main attraction rather than the movie itself. They did a pretty good job of mixing in the film dialog, Its just the quality that I wish was better... maybe I'm being nitpicky, but still. Anyways, regardless of all that, I'm glad I went and got to see it. The musicians did a great job!

I cried my eyes out
Meridian Hall - Toronto
It was so so so good that I was ugly sobbing by the end. I’d go again a million times. I hope they do one for HTTYD 2.
