By Kirstie McLellan Day
A powerful, vibrant, captivating portrait of a great Canadian; a champion on the ice, and a hero off of it. Fleury grappled with and triumphed over incredible adversity, personal demons, dark secrets, and a reputation that sometimes got in his way.
The show is a dazzling, moving, funny, and highly theatrical event: the whole show takes place on the ice, and the solo performer (Shaun Smyth) is on skates the whole time. His performance is absolutely extraordinary, a true tour-de-force. Adapted from his autobiography of the same title, Theo Fleury himself has been a huge supporter of this play and helped in the early stages of its creation.
This play contains coarse language and mature content.
