This was my first year attending TUTS, and I had such a great experience! I’m so impressed with the production of their shows, and the fun outdoor theatre! There are concessions for food and drinks, as well as a merch tent with a fun display on the history of TUTS and all their past shows.
I wasn’t planning to watch CATS but grew more curious about the show and decided to give it a shot. I was SO entertained!! I loved the costumes, acting, singing and choreography. I’m so happy I watched it. 🐈
Then, on another night, my boyfriend and I watched School of Rock, and that was just as fun! Amazing singing and dancing…it felt like we were at the actual battle of the bands! 🎸
My main suggestion (if the TUTS crew reads these) is to give a warning announcement when intermission is almost done (so folks can get back to their seats sooner).
Overall, my first TUTS experience was an exceptional one! I’m already looking forward to the next one!

I have been going here with my grandparents for so long, just over 5-6 years I believe. SO GOOD!!! Seating is great same with food and bathrooms. Intermission in great and the performances are always fun. There are a lot of hotels near the area same with restaurants if you don't want to order there! Really fun and I think you should go here! Going today to see school of rock can't wait!

Amazing as always! A trip to Vancouver each summer to watch TUTS has become a tradition for us now. Each year we are amazed at the immense talent and have enjoyed seeing some actors return to the stage from previous years. This year's School of Rock blew us away. Wow. What an amazing cast and performance. We can't wait for next year!

Can't believe the theater has been around since the 1930s and I had only found out about it now. Beautiful setting and the chairs are surprisingly comfortable. No stars because of the wildfire smoke but still a very pleasant experience.

Went there to watch we will rock you. It was an amazing show. Beautiful story portrayed even more beautifully. Indeed a treat for Queen fans. Loved the show and loved the artists. The killer queen is a badass actor and character. The garden outside is too beautiful and well maintained. Washrooms are nice and clean. Food and beverages are nice and at reasonable price. Seating could be a lil better tho. Would advise to carry a mosquito repellent.

It is so great to have TUTS back this summer, and with two fantastic shows. This is a fantastic venue to enjoy musicals during the summer. You can bring your own picnic, or grab food there. The seats are quite comfortable for outdoor chairs (and if you don't find them comfortable, there are seats cushions available for rent). The outhouses are always really clean. All in all, a great evening out with fantastic shows and great actors.

Cats 2024 sucked. So disappointing to say this. Left at intermission. And I wasn't the only one expressing disappointment at the intermission, after overhearing many people trying to like it but in disbelief how boring it was. For those that are new or semi new to plays, this one is definitely not one you want to see. Literally just introducing different cats in the first hour. No storyline. No dialogue. No set changes. Not much in the way of wardrobe changes. Maybe if you are a hardcore play junkie you'll appreciate nuances I did not find. But I've seen TUTS in years past (Beauty and the Beast, Matilda, Mama Mia, to name a few), this production fell so far short compared to years past it's shocking. Don't bring your children, they will be so bored! The place was 70% empty is just proof, as in previous years the shows were almost close to, if not totally sold out. I took a look at the rest of Aug tickets and there are so many empty seats available!
