We went to Land of the Dead when it first opened. The theatre is set up so that no matter where you are sitting, you have a great view (we were in the Studio). The show was really good, and we'll definitely get tickets to more in the future.

So great to have this theatre a part of Calgary's cultural entertainment package. The Vertigo Mystery theatre is exactly that--great thought-provokers. Enviroment is appropriate for these presentations and We feel is located "best" for the general public. Theatre has a great feel to it--nice bar service area and well attended. There is no poor seat in the house and attendace... More

Yes, this is a theatre specializing in mysteries. We have been to three of their shows over the past nine years, and never been disappointed. The bargain seats are those made available just before the show starts. Get there early, because it is rushed seating.

My husband and I have been to 3 shows at Vertigo now and every one has been fantastic. This theater does not disappoint. We've enjoyed it so much that we bought seasons passes this year and a number of tickets to the Kids theater here (Y stage). That is a huge compliment considering we have young kids and only get...

We took our children to the theatre 30 years ago and we still enjoy the productions and quality of the performances.

We enjoy mysteries and these plays are very well done. We prefer to go on Director's Preview Night when the tickets are only $10 each (first Sunday evening after the the play opens.) The website will have more details. We also love the musicals, especially Sweeney Todd from last season, and Edwin Drood from the year before.

I love murder mystery! It's a small intimate theatre. The line up is never a disappointment. Lots of parking in the tower lot.

I went on a field trip with our JH class and saw "The Rope". Great play, great actors. The attention to detail on the sets was amazing!

My wife and I attended a play about 4 years ago and promptly signed up as season ticket holders. We've been going ever since. The product is good, and what's more it's consistent. Occasionally they do things that stretch the limits of "mystery" but we've never seen anything that we'd classify as "bad". Occasionally they do something that's outstanding. In... More
