Anne and Gilbert- The Musical — Attraction in Charlottetown

Absolutely loved this!! A must see!! We all laughed so much through this!! It was mostly funny and comical, but in a good way, not weird. Almost everyone stood for a standing ovation at the end.

Rachel Lynde in the rolling pin scene was absolutely hilarious! What a wonderful job those that played Diana Barry, Josie Pie, Anne's friend at Redmond college, and Luka Hall playing Paul Irving!

The orchestra did a lovely job even though they were small. Thank you for a fabulous night!! What a treat!!

Not a problem with the pit as much as acoustics in the hall. This was not a big enough problem detract substantially from the enjoyable...

We were completely blown away with the talent of the musical; singing, costume and set design, tap dancing, choreography, and their ability to bring the beloved characters to life. As someone who only just finished reading the first book, this musical brought me to tears. I recommend for those who have at least finished the first book - spoilers to come, but totally worth it. Its ignited my desire to finish the series. Only wish I could have a copy of the sound track. Our group broke out into song and dance multiple times after as a result - “You’re Island, you’re Island, you’re from Prince...
