Oh Canada What A Feeling!
A Musical Odyssey
Main Theatre

Tues, 20 Oct 2015 @ 7:30PM

The audiences have weighed in! Following a successful run in Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre, OH CANADA What A Feeling! is the feel-good rockumentary of the year that celebrates the rich, vibrant musical legacy of this country. Set against a stunning backdrop of historical and musical footage, a live band and a cast of fresh young talent will provide an unforgettable concert of songs made famous by artists such as Paul Anka, Gordon Lightfoot, The Guess Who, Anne Murray, Loverboy, Rush, Bryan Adams and Neil Young, to mention a very few.

Experience the unforgettable songs, remember the moments that are uniquely our country's and share in the pride and celebration of music as you time travel from the 50's, through the eclectic 70's and then onto the 80's and the halcyon days of rock n' roll when radio, video and the fans propelled our artists to the top of the charts! This show shine's a spotlight on Canada's distinct musical voice.

Oh Canada What A Feeling! is a joint production by prominent music industry figures, noted promoter and impresario Jeff Parry/Annerin Productions (Rain, Let It Be, The Australian Bee Gees, The Pink Floyd Experience), and distinguished music journalist Martin Melhuish.
