Saw 3 great plays: Our Bettors, Lady Windamere's Fan and Guys and Dolls. Thanks Shaw Festival for freebies ( wine, candy and coffee) for tourist appreciation day.

The Shaw Festival – bringing great theatre to life in the heart of Niagara Wine Country. One of the world’s finest theatre companies, the Shaw Festival is celebrated for its vivid and exhilarating productions of plays by Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries (1856-1950), and plays about the period of Shaw’s lifetime. Join us for a compelling theatre experience with plays in four theatres from April to October in historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Located between Toronto, ON and Buffalo, NY, near Niagara.

We saw Guys and Dolls in this excellent modern theatre, where all the seats seem to have a good view. This production is top class!

Have been coming to the Shaw for over 15 years at least once a year - never seen a bad play! Saw 'Our Betters' and 'Lady Windermere's Fan this time - both excellent. The company always has something to suit every taste. Highly recommend a visit.

Loved this play! My first time at the Shaw Festival did not disappoint. Having been to the Stratford Festival many times I must say that the Shaw Festival is on par. Will not hesitate to return.

Brilliant performance. We are so very glad that the Shaw Festival has infused other play writers into the mix with the pieces by George Benard Shaw. Guys and Dolls was well performed and the music was fantastic. It was so good that I had to stop myself from singing along. If you are in town and have the time, go...

What a great show! The stage/set was very impressive. The curtain effect like opening up a photo graph was charming. The Oscar quotes between sets were good. Actor volume was a bit low. Pop / contemporary music was fun.

The Shaw festival has four theatres in Niagara-on-the-Lake. We saw Guys and Dolls at the biggest theatre - the Shaw Festival. Unlike the theatres in Stratford you have a big comfy seat, where you knees aren't poking the person in the head in front of you. We sat in the "cheap seats" and were at the back of the balcony...
