  • I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I never visited the Elgin Theatre up until this point, even though I'd been aware of it as a historic theatre and the site of many film festival premieres and the like. It's the kind of place that makes you feel humble and nostalgic in equal measure. I recently received a handful of tickets to attend the preview engagement of Sousatzka, a show that's apparently destined for Broadway and helmed by Garth Drabinsky (a name that strikes fear into the hearts of salty investors across the city). The play itself was great, and I'm sure it's going to win many awards, but it was the venue itself that fascinated me the most. It's a bit surreal to walk into a historic property like this, especially one that's been operating continuously for more than a century. The atmosphere and design of the theatre is incredible and evokes a very different age. Old-school ceilings with chandeleirs, balcony seating with classical designs... just attending an event in this theatre is worth the price of admission itself. I will say that the seating wasn't exactly comfortable - it feels like they haven't updated it in years, and it was starting to bother my back after several hours. The house staff also seems to have a very laissez-faire attitude. The ushers don't seem to stop people who open up their cell phones during a performance, and there was a woman in the snack loudly promoting Haagen-Dazs ice cream while people sat and ate right beside her. I get that they want to make a buck, but they might need to refine their guest procedures just a little bit. Regardless, this was well worth the outing, and I'm looking forward to visiting the theatre again in the future.
