Reviews: Wingfield’s Inferno
Is there any additional feedback you could share with us?
I was amazed that i could change my tickets for no charge, because a family emergency had come up. The balcony seats are not very comfortable - the top of the back is too far forward for comfort - it should slope back a bit.
Would like to see access from the upper level (library area) directly to balcony entrance. This is probably an impossibility, but a wish list item. Enjoyed the show Ross
You probably need an additional server at the bar. The service was fine from the two persons there. There was just not enough of it.
Didn't use the bar or the coat check so can't comment fairly. Would be good if we could print off tickets at home. Wonderful experience good fun. Tks JP.
I have only seen the last two Wingfield shows. It would be nice if the early shows could be shown again for the many of us who missed the beginning of the story.
I have seen all the performances in the Wingfield series, some more than once, and have enjoyed them all. Though enjoyable and entertaining, I found this performance to be not quite as rich and funny as the previous ones. Still worth the price of admission though. Thanks.
Did not use bar services or coat check - although looked well organized.
Centrepointe Theatre is a wonderful part of this community. You offer a good variety of quality performances at affordable prices. Keep up the good work.
Nothing but positives....the show was very good. We have seen a couple of Wingfield shows and they never disappoint. I did feel, considering the limited amount of time to get a drink during the intermission that having only two servers made it difficult to get a drink and enjoy it until the show started again. An idea might be to pre-sell drinks before the show, and then have an area set up to exchange the tickets for drinks during the intermission. In this way no cash transaction takes place, and the whole process would move along a lot quicker. Just a suggestion...minor to say the least, it was a very enjoyable evening. Thanks again, Mark
Centrepointe is a jewel of a theatre. We always love to come to Centrepointe; and as far as Wingfield -- an amazing evening of good fun and great acting by Beattie.
Rod Beattie did an excellent job portraying all of the characters. The dialogue was well written and very much enjoyed.
This is my favourite venue in the city to enjoy a performance. The facilities are exceptional, and it is a stress free evening, from the parking lot to the theatre and back again. Please keep up the great work!
THANK YOU for hosting Wingfield at your Theatre. It was a amazing experience as always!! We have seen all of his productions before but never in such a small setting. It made it even more special. We are looking forward to the upcoming Jon Berry concert in December. We do hope that you have the NYLONS come back and play again soon!!
There were 4 of us at the performance from two different age brackets. We all thoroughly enjoyed the performance! Excellent entertainment for all ages! Thanks
I would go to see Rod Beattie in a Wingfield play any day. I only wish the show had started at 8:00 so I could have taken advantage of the Front and Centre Bar Chat afterward. Ending at 11:00 or so, I really couldn't stay any longer to meet Rod Beattie.
A great show!!!
Everything was wonderful.
Our first visit to your facility, and it will not be the last. We really enjoyed our evening.
I am really glad that we did not pay any attention to the review in the paper re Tuesday's performance.
Excellent show
We have seen many of the Wingfield's plays and marvel at the actor's ability to perform all the characters. The writing is quite witty as well.
First visit. Excellent facility.
As usual the Walt Wingfield performance was exceptional. We've seen him four times now and by far Centrepointe was the most enjoyable venue. Thank you.
We have seen all previous "Wingfield" shows and were certainly not disappointed. The show was wonderful. We are looking forward to the next one.
Fantastic show. Rod Beattie was a great performer. I would recommend this show to anybody.
Great show!!
This show should be offered for people over 40. I do not think anyone under 40 would like this show. I do not think teenagers would enjoy this type of show.
Outstanding performance. Should have ordered earlier for better seating
I have seen several of the Wingfield plays and the talent and creativity are wonderful. The second act of Inferno was better than the first; the pace, the not so obvious direction of some of the scenes. The first act scene in the barn when Walt is awaiting the skunk is too slow and needs some change. That being said, I came out of the theatre feeling well entertained and happy I attended.
I'm sorry to say that I agreed with the less than great review reported by Patrick Langston in Thursday's Citizen. We would definitely return to the theatre, but would not go for a Wingfield show again; especially considering the price we paid for tickets.
A great performance by a real gifted actor. We enjoyed every minute of his performance.
We had seen a performance of Walt Wingfield previously at the NAC and so we knew what to expect on stage. But as was already stated, we are very impressed with your facility itself as well as the whole process from ticket purchasing to the end of the performance. We anticipate being guests again in the future.
A fantastic show - had a great time!
Rod Beattie was awesome. Have him back again!!! Hannah age 12
I was so pleased to see this performance. He is excellent. Have seen him before and would never miss any of his performances.
I LAUGHED UNTIL MY CHEEKS HURT...
We took a couple of guests for their first Wingfield encounter. They loved every minute of if and wish they'd heard of it long before now.
It was wonderful to be greatly entertained by Mr. Beattie; I had seen his "Wingfield on Ice" a few years ago. He is extremely talented, and we found it very refreshing to watch a performance with swearing, loud music, or any kind of sensationalism. I was raised in a rural community, and therefore recognized some of his characters!!! T
Excellent show, coming back next week to see Arlo Guthery and in Dec for the Rankin Christmas Concert. Thank you
It was a very good show and I am happy you had him here to perform, we had a great time and he was a riot, even better than his television show.
Another great performance…but still vastly entertaining! Thanks for your excellent program.
I went with 9 friends from work. It was a great evening out.
This was only our second in the Wingfield series and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wingfield as usual was enchanting, poignant and full of laughs.
Great show. We reminisced and laughed all the way home.
I read Patrick Langston's review of Rod Beattie's performance in this morning's Ottawa Citizen. He seems to feel that the Wingfield story is declining in quality. However, I must disagree. While it is true that this was the first time that I have seen a live performance by Mr Beattie, I hope that it won't be my last. I have rarely seen a performance so full of laugh-out-loud moments and such human emotion as last night's. Kudos to Rod Beattie and Centrepointe!
Great entertainment; excellent performance. Easy access for Nepean residence Keep up the great work!!
This was one of the most enjoyable evenings we have had. Wingfield and his friends outdid themselves. I grew up in a farm community in Manitoba and I'm sure I have known every one of the characters in his show…I thought Ron James put on the best show. Thank you so much for a super evening. Edith
It was a great evening.
A very good evening. An amazing actor!
We loved the show: intelligent Canadian humour: thank you!
