Well, not exactly new...new to me. The Legend of Robin Hood came out in 2021.

In Canadian $ for each seat

$139.50 - seat
$4.25 - order processing fee
$5.75 - facility charge
$18.05 - service fee

I was in row B seats 5 and 6. Beyond the end of the stage so craned my neck most of the show but got a good view. Nice stage setup, they had large lanterns, about 5 of them, used for good effect during Ferryman and sections of Moonfleet.

He started the show solo switching between piano and guitar then the band joined him.

Beyond that, usual lights and lasers you have at concerts these days. I have a few pictures up on my facebook page.

I would definitely go see him again.

The only downside that there was just 4 of us waiting after the show to get autographs (for me) and a guy and his girl wanted a picture. He rushed to his SUV, and wouldn't come out and drove away. Kind of sucky for a guy who said if it wasn't for the fans, he wouldn't be there performing. Just 4 people. Of course, he could be covid shy but even Colin Hay who was all masked up signed if people also wore a mask.
