Cirque du Soleil – OVO
BG Reviewer
I must premise this review by saying Cirque du Soleil’s OVO is an absolutely amazing show. I am so thankful that Canada Life Place gave me the opportunity to attend the show with my family and friends. We got to Canada Life Place and were told that our seats were being upgraded to the 100 level when we previously had picked up 300 level seats. This was great news for us and we looked forward to having even closer seats. The new seats were perfect and located on the side of the side. When entering the arena, the stage is set with a massive ‘ovo’ (egg) and there are characters walking around the room with bug catcher nets and little fluttering butterflies making it already unique from any other show.

Well that was indeed a #BeautifulFreakShow! An all Canadian Country evening in the ‘almost’ sold out RBC Theatre at Canada Life Place…anyone who thought about coming and didn’t…you missed one amazing evening, opened by the James Barker Band & High Valley. We arrived at The Bud with our #BGReviewer tickets in hand, early enough to check out the merch table and try out the “Bring Down the House Turbo”, the drink of the night. The drink was a mixture of beer and your choice of Palm Bay flavours.
The Harlem Globetrotters at Canada Life Place!
BG Reviewer
When I hear the words Harlem Globetrotters, two things happen:
- I remember my Dad and I laughing our heads off at the Globetrotters' hijinks in the seventies
- I instantly hear Sweet Georgia Brown - the team's catchy theme song
Both of these things put a goofy smile on my face, and so when I learned that I had been selected to be Budweiser Garden's reviewer for the Globetrotters show on April 15th, I was thrilled!
