To summarize, El Toro definitely raised the temperature in the room with his performance! I'm telling you kittens, track his career, this young man is definitely going places! Can't wait to see where he will be on stage next, as it is a MUST NOT MISS evening.
Bobby Hsu and his saxophone and singers... outstanding!! Soon as you can, RUN, don't walk, to the music store to get his latest CD. Could just picture some of the musical performances to come with some of my favourite show tunes from over the years!
Kiki Moritsugu... I was taken back through the years with her singing... and Ryan's surprise reunion of the original Toronto and touring cast of CATS... what a perfect evening! I'm not exaggerating kittens, our sides were literally sore from laughing, no howling with laughter at the stories from the cast and backstage. I can't wait to see where they will be showing up next, as I want tickets for that show or shows!!
And our lovely and talented host with the most, Ryan Hinds... the comedy was grand, the coffee talk was fabulous, but when he lets go with a grand tune, I'm telling you, it's a personal rapture :-)
I literally CANNOT WAIT until next month's show! If you missed last night, shame on you... might be a long weekend, but you missed a grand night of cabaret!
And extra hugs to Ryan's Mom, glad to see she is mobile again and sneaking a peek, she beams with pride when her baby boy is on stage :-)
Maggie, Heather, and crew, thank you for hosting a magnificent evening, and folks, do not miss your chance to go to a show at The Flying Beaver Pubaret, the food is fabulous, the drinks are wonderful, but the people are the best part of the evening.
I know some of you are crazy busy with Pride coming up, but do not miss the opportunity to spend a grand evening at The Flying Beaver :-)
Later kittens!" - Christopher Newman
Hi Maggie and Heather,
Thank you so much for a fantastic evening on Friday June 8th with you, Carla Collins, your wonderful staff and a room of fun, friendly people. It was indeed a night to remember! We were newbies to The Flying Beaver Pubaret and we felt at home and loved from the moment we walked in. We woke up missing everyone the next morning...and still smiling. Carla Collins was superbly funny and had us at hello! You were hilarious and electric! We look forward to attending many more events at the Beav. Thanks for being kind and generous and wonderful,
Mercedez, Kik, Grace and Simon.
