Went to see the play Gypsy at the festival theater. Parking on site is $15. There is also street parking available...that is also paid. There are 2 areas where you can get refreshments and a gift shop. There are outside areas where you can enjoy your refreshments, coffee juice, sandwiches tarts etc. The prices are NOTL prices. Beautiful grounds and landscaping. You can also take refreshments into the Theater.. The quality of the actors are top notch...stage props are very well done. All in all a class act. If you have never been GO !!! If its been a while GO!!
Really nothing beats live theater with amazing talented actors,stage sets and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Beautiful venue and hosts some of the best plays, both from their own production and also external ones. I went to see Mahabharata which is one of the most riveting play I have seen for a long time. Koodos to the production and all the actors on the play. Would recommend everyone to go to the Shaw Festival. Find a play you like and enjoy the arts and culture that Ontario offers.
We saw a delightful production of Gypsy, which was really well done. I also loved the theater itself. Lovely venue with outdoor gardens to explore during intermission. You could also pre-order food/drink for intermission, including some lovely Niagara-on-the-Lake local wines. We absolutely loved the experience and will definitely be back!
Love the Shaw Festival Theatre. This is a must do when visiting beautiful Niagara on the Lake or a must do for locals who love live theatre. Main stage is lovely to catch a live show for the afternoon or evening performance. Prices vary per seat and show, however, high school students are around $28 which is reasonable for a 2-3 hours of entertainment. Recently saw Gypsy... Love the vintage feel of the show, set, and costumes😊💗.
Really nice theatre! Better than Mirvish. We got there about a half hour before the show and saw there were places you can sit outside while waiting for the show. Nice souvenir shop. Very organized. The negative: the parking. Just not enough parking.
Fantastic show- Blithe spirit- great acting, music- great entertainment value!! See photo of end of play where they all came out for a bow- costumes and set are terrific!!
Great venue, Theatre is clean, organised, spacious, well lit, every seat is a great seat in the house..saw Gypsy..fantastic musical!! Niagara on the Lake has lots of local attractions, airbnb's at a reasonable price, shopping at boutique stores, parking is plentiful, amazing restaurants etc, etc. Love the sceneries, wineries, manicured lawns...a beautiful environment to spend a couple of days and lots to do. Live your Life.
The entire family enjoyed the show ( Gupsy ). When in the area again, we will stop by and take in another show.
Went to see Mahabharata, best performance I have seen so far and the spirit of each character is captured beautifully considering the complexity. The narrator has amazing talent to tell the story so seamlessly. I recommend it. Lovely theatre too.
We were in town and found out about the Shaw Theater.... went over and got tickets for the next day to see "The Importance of Being Earnest". What a thrill!! It was wonderful and we're so glad we were able to get tickets!! So enjoyable and professional!! We've told all our friends about the Shaw Theater and Niagara-on-the-Lake.... what a great place to visit!!
