Disney’s Aladdin Jr. is one of the exciting new shows opening this year. It will be performed daily in the Greg Frewin Theatre. The production had a small table setup at the Niagara Tourism Expo and they had a flyer I had never seen before. I have scanned it and included the text below:

The new Tim Hortons on Clifton Hill should be open in the next couple of weeks (I don’t know an exact date, but I assume they want it open around either the Victoria Day weekend or the Memorial Day weekend). I haven’t been by the site in a few days, but I noticed that the signs are up:

Cirque Niagara rides into town

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Whether he’s Jean Valjean in Les Miserables or Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha or even the guy singing the anthem before Maple Leafs games Michael Burgess knows how to get hearts soaring.

His life these days is a circus. A big, $10-million Russian circus.

The Canadian stage legend laughs when recalling how he (and his wallet) got involved with Cirque Niagara, the high-flying gala opening at Rapidsview Park May 20.

“It’s just one of the most normal things you’re talking to friends, the subject comes up, the talks become a little deeper and lo and behold you’re involved,” he said.

“You know, Niagara is ripe for (this) kind of thing. I think it’s going to be a great addition to the landscape of Niagara Falls.”
