Blue Bridge At The Roxy

Get thee to the Roxy before July 14th!!! A friend and I attended the performance last evening and were delighted by it. I'd never been to the Roxy before, and while my seat sloped at an 'interesting' angle, the sight-lines were wonderful. The acting is superb, though I have to admit that the polish, timing, and professionalism of Gwynyth Walsh's performance was really stellar. I don't imagine Jonathan Mason will be around for long: he has that wonderful combination of classically handsome looks, a rich, warm voice and superb comic timing that will make him a favourite wherever he takes his talents. Laura-Jane Tressider ran the gamut of emotions very effectively and persuasively. Neil Simon's writing has withstood the test of time beautifully: the audience was laughing out loud constantly, which I'm sure makes things much easier and more rewarding for the company. I'll be subscribing to the Blue Bridge from now on, based on the strength of this performance. Consider dinner at the 5th Street Bar and Grill before hand---the food was excellent! You'll also have a good choice of parking venues on a week night.

A very interesting location to experience live performances. The fact that it's an old movie theater adds to the special ambiance. It's not a very large venue (not tiny either) so you do feel closer to the action on stage.The only reason this didn't get more stars is that after viewing some shows I found that it can be difficult to hear the actors if you are not sitting in the center section.

Have seen a few shows here and have been pleasantly surprised with the ongoing upgrades to the theatre and facilities. I don't go to enough plays to purchase a membership but if you like the theatre I recommend looking into their offerings as they have many innovative and engaging programs on offer. Fringe festival is always great too.

The Blue Bridge theatre is an experience to remember! The Roxy is part of Victoria's history and the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre respects this while producing theatre. The members of the community love this small rustic theatre and are often found helping out by volunteering for shows. The shows are put on by local artists who you see returning to the Blue Bridge stage time and time again.

Great shows, snacks and drinks! The theatre itself is a very welcoming environment: well-lit, old-fashioned and comfortable seating, and pleasant decor. A bit on the pricey side, but a guaranteed fun night.

Fantastic theatre with a great show selection every season. I also love that their show season is in the summer when other theatre companies traditionally don't run. The space is a little sparse, but the quality of shows makes that negligible. Bring a sweater, as it can get chilly inside when the weather is cooler.

Just saw Ride the Cyclone, it was wonderful! If you are in Victoria try to get tickets before the end of the show's run.

Always a treat to take in a play at the Blue Bridge Theatre. Their unique, recently-renovated space provides an exciting connection between audience and actor, and this company can be counted on to bring new work as well as classics to their stage: plays by Tennessee Williams, Harold Pinter and Neil Simon among others, as well as the magic of old-time radio drama. Hey and parking has never been a problem.

My friends and I had come to the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre for a nice night out. It was a nice quaint place to watch the show. Although the seats were uncomfortable for watching, and the space in the lobby and outside on the sidewalk was crowded during intermission, it was a nice place to be. The staff were nice and the actors were amazing. Overall, not a bad place to be.
