I attended the opening night of The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen Experience(Mirvish)  https://www.mirvish.com/shows/the-secret-chord   at Toronto’s CAA Theatre, 651 Yonge Street.  The 90 minutes (no intermission) show is a tribute to the music, life and creativity of the legendary Canadian icon Leonard Cohen .  The list of songs featured include  “Suzanne”, “Dance Me to the End of Love”, “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye” and of course “Hallelujah” and are performed by an incredible ensemble, R&B Juno award winner Divine Brown, Ben Caplan(who sounds very close to Leonard Cohen), 2026 Dora Award winner Hailey Gillis, tap dancer Travis Knights and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Penner.  This is probably the best representation on the life of one of Canada’s groundbreaking artist I have ever seen.  The story is moving and the all of the performers including the instrumentalists are outstanding.  Everything about this show is tremendous.  It’s a must see.  I give The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen Experience(Mirvish) 5 out of 5 stars.  

The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen Experience(Mirvish) runs from July 8 – August 16, 2026.
