Had come here a while back for a Yelp event, but this was the first time coming back for an actual show.
If I was able to rate the actual Cirque Mechanics: Pedal Punk show (and I wish I could), I would give it a 5 STARS for the creativity of the choreography, skill and showmanship of the performers, innovation of the set design, and energy generated by the music. RHCPA deserves some credit for bringing us this great act, and hopefully they will have Cirque Mechanics Back for a follow-up to Pedal Punk.
The show aside, the layout of this place is fairly well designed and modern. The seating inside the show area is quite spacious, with a good view of the stage even from the balcony. The staff at will-call and directing traffic were friendly and efficient. I was pleasantly surprised that the centre actually offered complimentary snacks (desserts mostly) and coffee for guests to partake in before the show and during intermission - this was nice, as you definitely don't see this from downtown Toronto performance centres.
Should mention there's also an outdoor stage and lounge area, where I assume the centre hosts performers during the summer months. Will keep a lookout for more events and performances here.
