The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen Experience

For my mom's birthday this year, I took her to the CAA Theatre at 651 Yonge Street to see The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen experience. I loved it.

Every word you hear, either spoken and sung, was written or said by Leonard Cohen himself. It's a great overview of his life, and the musical performances are stellar. By the end, shortly after the passing of Marianne Jensen, as So Long, Marianne, I became rather emotional. This sentiment, heading into Hallelujah, really affected me.

Leonard Cohen, a poet turned musician because his book didn't sell, was in the room yesterday, and it was indeed an experience. Kudos to the performers.
