The Wizard of Oz

Andrew Lloyd Webber's newest stage musical invites audiences back to a place they know and love—the Land of Oz. After a tornado transports her to a land of Technicolor munchkins, diametrically opposed witches, and flashy foot fashions, Dorothy and her puppy Toto seek the wisdom of the country's Wizard-in-Chief. Along the way, the duo connects with a familiar cast: the Tin Man who wants a heart, the Scarecrow who seeks a brain, and the Cowardly Lion who's on a quest for courage. Singing all the tunes from the original film (along with a handful of new ones), the multi-species quintet learns the true meaning of adventure, friendship, and hydrophobia.

Times have changed since the 1939 movie floored its audiences with high-tech colourization, but this live stage production keeps the wonder intact with mind-boggling costumes and special effects. Debris whooshes across the backdrop as the tornado visibly engulfs poor Dorothy, culminating in the appearance of a stage-spanning rainbow and the friendly Munchkin village. When the Wicked Witch of the West appears, she does so in fire and smoke—the latter at her feet, the former from the end of her magic wand. The viridian-skinned enchantress later takes to her ominous iron tower to sing the brand-new song, “Red Shoes Blues.”

Historical Resort Directly Across the Street from Waterfalls

When Marilyn Monroe wasn’t on set filming her 1953 movie Niagara, she might have been in her room at Crowne Plaza. Located directly across the street from the iconic Horseshoe Falls, the hotel has hosted a number of notable guests during its 80-year history, including Walt Disney, Shirley Temple, Jimmy Stewart, and Queen Elizabeth II. From your own Upper falls-view room, you can look out on the same dramatic falls views they enjoyed—a vista showcasing the awesome spectacle of 2,800 cubic meters of water barreling over the falls’ edge every second.

The hotel is part of the 20-acre Falls Avenue Resort featuring entertainment and activities, all on-site. Seven restaurants in nearby and adjacent properties provide diverse dining opportunities. But be sure to use your C$40 dining credit at the The Rainbow Room by Massimo Capra. The restaurant pairs spectacular views with upscale, locally sourced dishes and Niagara-on-the-Lake wine. This Getaway includes a tasting and tour at two nearby wineries, Trius Winery at Hillebrand and Peller Estates Winery.

Casino Niagara is directly connected to the hotel. The lively casino hums to the tune of 1,500 slot machines and the clack of dice. After trying your luck, head to The Hershey Store, adjacent to the hotel, for 650 square meters of decadent chocolate treats.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks

At Niagara Falls—considered by many to be one of the world’s seven natural wonders—water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, with segments located in both New York and Ontario, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls' photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

The iconic Maid of the Mist has ferried raincoat-clad passengers around the base of the falls since 1846. The tours run from April through October, depending on the river's ice conditions. Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps away from the cascading water.
