The Tragedy of Hamlet: Prince of Denmark Tickets

Mesmerizing experience as 100 minutes of uninterrupted dramatic and theatrical innovations held the audience in silence Staging and choreography to become a Classic likely to be performed by companies around the world Each dancer committed to present the vision of the creators Guillaume Cote and Robert Lepage

Hamlet is my favorite Shakespeare and with this show I was slightly disappointed. The dancing was great but the use of the scrolling screen distracted from the show. With the decision to using it, it should have been used more effectively and it wasn’t, thus it shouldn’t have been used at all. If you didn’t know the story of Hamlet you would t know exactly what was happening. With the exception of an excellent opening, madness of Ophelia and her suicide dances the show would have been a total fail for me.

From beginning to end, Hamlet was captivating and spell binding. The stage design, lighting, creative use of props, and music wove together seamlessly with the choreography to leave the audience breathless. All of the talented dancers were magnificent in their own roles, and feel that special mention must given to Carleen Zouboules who shone the brightest, outstanding in her role as Ophelia. I was thrilled to have been able to travel from BC to experience this outstanding, beautiful production of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto. Bravo! 1 1

Hamlet without words works very well - all the conflicts and emotions are well articulated by the dancers' performance and the staging. The music, too, is an exceptional accompaniment. A great artistic event that I thoroughly enjoyed. Robert Lepage never disappoints!

Shortly before the beginning of the performance I realised that my seating location - mid aisle behind several rather tall individuals - would not allow me to see and enjoy the performance. I requested a change in seating and the House Manager (I think that's who she was) escorted me to a seat which allowed me to thoroughly enjoy the magnificent performance of Hamlet.

Lighting a bit dark. Hard to see from the balcony xxxxxxxxx

The multi talented cast caught my attention from the start, following a clear storyline, seamlessly executed in a crossover of classical ballet, modern dance, breakdance and theatre. With stunning bit simple decors, exciting scenes take shape in unexpected ways to express a Shakespeare without its wording.

It's been a while since i've seen something so creative, moving, beautiful, smart. An absolute feast for the senses! Can't recommend enough

such an amazing and breathtaking performance. Amazing choreography, mind blowing music, and one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

As a secondary English teacher who has been teaching Hamlet once or twice a year for the last 10 years, I was very interested to see this complete reimagining of the play although I tend to be quite the purist when it comes to Shakespeare. I find the plays, particularly this one, to be stories that sell themselves right from scene 1 to the students because of the powerful humanity in the inner conflicts of the characters. Hamlet being the source of inspiration behind The Lion King never requires introduction. However, I was absolutely enthralled by this dance, music and design set based interpretation. The brilliant contemporary dances depicting scenes between friends, lovers and enemies through bodily movement were simply stunning and breathtaking. The amount of lifts, flips, back bending and partner work was unbelievable. There was a real emphasis on the tragedy surrounding Ophelia's death and she was lengthily eulogized, which added an even more somber tone to the portrayal of the play. I was utterly moved by the end of the night and I know that this will go on my list of top 5 plays I have ever seen. Congratulations to the whole team involved in bringing to the stage this superb reimagining without taking away any of the power of the original yet adding so much life and beauty to it. Bravo!
