Draw for 3 pairs of tickets to Legally Blonde at the NAC
As you may know I am the social media reporter for Broadway Accross Canada's Ottawa chapter. I talk about the different shows I see in Ottawa as well as other cities and promote the shows when they come to Ottawa.
What is coming up at Ottawa National Arts Centre??? The broadway version of Legally Blonde :) Trust me this is a must see (I saw it in Toronto this summer).
This being said Broadway Accross Canada is happily giving me 3 pairs of tickets to the premiere show of Legally Blonde on December 28th. What do you have to do???
This will be a trivia contest; how well do you know the storyline, the cast, etc. The contest will begin this Wednesday (December 8th) and will end Wednesday (December 15th). Each correct answer gives you a ballot in the draw.
What do you have to do to participate?? You can answer the daily trivia on my facebook status or comment on my blogposts (www.bgenier.blogspot.com).
Please let me know if you have any questions and of course good luck!

Burlesque!!! A definite must see!!!!
Following a long day at work Melanie and I decided to go see Burlesque, Christina Aguilera's first acting job. I must admit I am not sure what I was expecting probably a flop similar to Britney Spears' Crossroads movie.
Oh was I surprised when I had to restrain myself from clapping after the musical numbers. This movie is classified as a musical but it is so much more. . . it is an experience! I am not a fan of Cher but I enjoyed her two numbers.
All in all this is a DEFINITE must see in theatres! I didn't want it to end! Now I have to wait 2-3 months before the DVD release . . . :(
Have you seen Burlesque?? Did you enjoy it??

A Fiddler on the Roof in Ottawa??!!
Hi all!
Last night was the opening night for the broadway show Fiddler on the Roof here in Ottawa. If you have read my previous post you know that this play is what started it all for me sixteen years ago. Well if I am being honest I didn't really remember the story . . . I knew that it had something to do with marrying off the daughters but that was about it. . . I was twelve :)
This is definitely a must see! I understand why it continues to be a success. The lead in the play Tevye is hilarious!!! The comments and sounds made to show . . . well I won't tell you, you have to see it. I will tell you this you will laugh!!! For the Ottawa performance Tevye was played by John Preece . . . one word AMAZING. The timing for the jokes was perfect (even though they weren't really jokes . . .), the dancing showed the traditions and history but was funny at the same time.
I will admit that I was extremely tired and the play did run long, starting at 8pm and ending at 11pm with a 20 minute intermission but it was well worth it. If I absolutely had to say one critic there was one thing that was slightly annoying, the lighting. Whenever there was a spot on one of the actors (who were standing still) it kept on moving. But that is if I had to say something critical :)
Honestly, I can understand why I this play started my passion for the theatre, it makes you go through all these different emotions in a few hours. It truly is entertainning! and a timeless classic of American/Canadian Musical Theatre.
