Niagara Falls: Wonders with Greg Frewin and Christian Mascia [Summer 2023]

From the July 26th Facebook post by the Greg Frewin Theatrical Centre:

We appreciate your curiosity about the name change from 'Wonder' to 'Wonders.' The reason for this change is that our main magician, Greg Frewin, has made a much-anticipated return to the Greg Frewin Theatre for a limited time. [Editor's note: emphasis ours.] While the essence of the magic show remains the same, we've decided to call it 'Wonders' to signify that it now features multiple magicians, including the incredible talents of Greg Frewin himself. This update allows us to showcase a diverse range of magical performances, making the show even more captivating and awe-inspiring for our audiences. We hope you'll join us for an unforgettable experience full of Wonders!"

Thank you for your interest! The show is playing all summer long at the Greg Frewin Theatrical Centre in Niagara Falls. You can book tickets and find more information on our website: https://gregfrewintheatre.com/buy-tickets.html the show and your visit to Niagara Falls!
