CV - Reviews / June 2-6

[Music: Alicia Keyes]
Getting floor seats at a stadium show was a first - and they were 20 rows back, dead center. So great for seeing miss Keyes tap the keys, but overall the sound was a mess, hard to distinguish instruments and voices. Best parts were her piano driven songs. A very talented woman, but as many have said, poorly produced.
6/10 [AK gets a 10 because she's simple and fabulous]

[Theatre: Import/Export]
Saw this play as part of TransAmerique and have to say that I liked the production of it (staging/props/concept) but the narrative was loose and the 'politic' didn't bring anything new to the subject. The multi-language approach was cool and the acting believable so not a total loss.
5/10

[Food: Cash & Curry]
Intimate space in that fun hub between St Laurent and St Denis on Duluth. As part of a larger group we were treated to apps and mains of Malaysian cooking. Large groups are often a challenge for a kitchen - so I'll be back to try more à la carte.
7/10
