“Mawage…Mawage is wot bwings us together today.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra presents “The Princess Bride in Concert“. Believe your Grandpa, this family-friendly movie has everything: “fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles…”

The great Peter Falk portrays the narrator of this romantic tale about Buttercup and Westley, a beautiful maiden and a young farmhand who fall in love. However, after Westley is captured by a ruthless pirate and presumed dead, and Buttercup is forced into an unhappy marriage with the horrible Prince Humperdinck, all seems lost. But then, on the wedding day, it’s up to a mysterious Man in Black to come to her rescue, with help from his friends, a vengeful swordsman and a kind giant.

Directed by the legendary Rob Reiner, “The Princess Bride in Concert” lets audiences relive this fantasy adventure comedy film with an all-star cast. It features Robin Wright and Cary Elwes as Buttercup and Westley, Mandy Patinkin and André the Giant as Inigo Montoya and Fezzik, Wallace Shawn as Vizzini, Chris Sarandon and Christopher Guest as Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen, Billy Crystal and Carol Kane as Miracle Max and Valerie, plus Fred Savage and Peter Falk as The Grandson and The Grandfather.

Make this year a Valentine’s weekend to remember because, as Miracle Max reminds us, “true love is the greatest thing in the world” (except for maybe a nice MLT, of course).

Grab your tickets here and have fun storming the castle!
