In scope and style, this show wasn?t like anything we've seen before. It was huge, enormously ambitious, and yet rich with humour. It's also trying a little too hard to be everything to everyone, but if I?d spent that much cash on lighting rigs, I'd want my money's worth out of it too.

The skies won't deliver, but last night at the MTS Centre, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra did. Early into the TSO's three-hour show, a vocalist proclaimed "let it snow," and it did: the arena?s air was suddenly filled with sparkling fake flurries.
