I don't remember what is the name of the play but walking into the theater the smell of the wood furniture reminded me my childhood... as in an old school . Lots of souvenirs and memories added to the charm of the play! More

Beautiful venue and I've enjoyed every play I ever saw there (at least 5) immensely. The best was this past winter's anti-Christmas-holiday-spirit extravaganza (not its real name but it was sort of described that way) that takes place every year.. not to be missed! More

I have season tickets with a group of seven friends. We have been doing this for 12 years and some of the presentation have been fabulous and some good. It is rare not to enjoy. I highly recommend the Season Ticket option. More

I wasn't sure we would find live English theatre in Montreal, but we did, and it was spectacular. Easy walking distance from Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth Hotel. More

I also attended a performance of the Madonna Painter at the Centaur Theatre recently, and could not disagree more strongly with the previous poster. Some people attend theatre to be entertained. Those people should stay away from this play. It is clear that this exquisitely rendered production is meant to provoke, to disturb, to challenge and to incite conversation, as... More

A shockingly terrible production that may make sense to the Quebecois but left us absolutely baffled. I was embarrassed for the actors performing in a ludicrous production whose only redeeming feature was an interesting stage design. There was no intermission for the 1 hour 45 minute show probably because the producers knew most of the audience would leave at the... More

The Centaur does its plays in English despite being in the midst of the old town in Montreal. The productions are excellent and the prices are reasonable. It's just sort of around the corner from the Notre Dame Basilica which many people see so it's quite easy to check out what's playing and if tickets are available. More
