Toronto experts - Advice needed

[travelplanner70]

I will be in Toronto on Saturday - Sunday Jan. 28-29. Do you have any suggestions of things to see? Any musicals playing? There is some winter festival going on. Is there anything worth seeing there? Thanks for your help.

Check this out http://www.toronto.ca/special_events/wintercity/index.htm for info about a winter festival

For plays, there are many. Two performances that I heard about- The Blue Man Group and The Boyfriend. The Boyfriend is the play that made Julie Andrews famous and she is directing this production.

The science centre here has a exibit that is controversial. It is called Body Works. It is real dead human bodies that have been stripped of skin and posed in various physically active positions. It is an amazing show. I have not gone because I cannot decide where I stand on this. I am very curious but horrified at the same time.

Here is the info if you are interested. http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/

You should know that the bodies were donated with the full knowledge of what was going to be done with them. There is a waiting list of live people who want to donate their bodies to this.

Winterlicious and Body Worlds 2

Dozens of restaurants have fixed price three course meals at substantial discounts - lunches for either C$ 15 or 20, dinners for either C$ 25 or 35.

Check the list, then call the restaurant and make a reservation

PS - I viewed Body Worlds 2 yesterday -- it you enjoy 'science' or are generally curious (or very 'into' your body) it is very worthwhile.
