IT RAINED AT the Windsor train
depot when going ... and snowed in
Toronto when coming back.
But in between, my recent trip with
wife Frieda to Toronto, thanks to the
Jewish News folks, was a wonderful
weekend.
I had seen Legends in Concert in Las
Vegas a few years ago, but never actu-
ally realized how fine this production
was until seeing it again.
Its Toronto home is at the Legends
Theater in the Sheraton Centre Hotel,
one of the places where the various
Legends troupes stage appearances
