If you lived in Toronto in the 1930’s and wanted to leave town and be entertained, the logical destination was downtown Oshawa. Yes, Oshawa. Along with the Marks Brothers Theater, the Biltmore and the Genosha Hotel, the Regent Theatre was part of a group of incredible venues that attracted visitors from all over Canada. According to the Oshawa Historical Society: “It was reported in 1927, that the annual attendance at the (Regent) theatre during the past fiscal year had reached over half a million people. As part of the Canadian Famous Player\’s chain for most of its existence, the theatre obtained many of the best offerings of the film world.”
Imagine 10,000 people per week attending the movies in downtown Oshawa! Most of these venues have been lost to the passage of time but thankfully, the Regent Concert Theatre in downtown Oshawa has been lovingly renovated by the fine folks at UOIT. Recently, there have been some pretty cool live shows at the venue. We saw one last fall called Classic Albums Live: Dark Side of the Moon. In a word, it was amazing. The troupe took a very difficult album and played it flawlessly. So we’re pumped to hear that they are now going to do the same thing with AC/DC’s Back in Black on Friday May 3rd.
Back In Black is the second highest selling album of all time and contains such mega-hits as Hells Bells, You Shook Me All Night Long, Shoot To Thrill and the title song, among others. We spoke with the folks at the Regent and secured a block of tickets to see this recreation of the album. Now, we are offering a package to you that includes a ticket to the show; a pre-show warmup at the shop including a burger and beverage; and two fabulous cigars, including one that will be exclusively released just for those of you that attend the show.
The entire package costs just $75 including HST but you have to decide soon as we only have limited tickets available. You can reserve your tickets by phone with a credit card and pick them up on the day of the event. Just call us at 905-443-0193 to secure your spot. Please note as well that the Regent is a licensed venue and permits you to have cocktails during the show, so you might want to arrange a designated driver for the night of the event.

Nice, good things happening in Ontario. About time.
This is great, good music and cigars.
I’m impressed, I need to say. Actually hardly ever do I encounter a website that’s both educative and informative. This sounds like a great time. Go Canada!
