The Royal Theatre continues to hold a special place in our collective hearts for Reveen, as he did himself hold a special place in his heart for the Royal Theatre and Victoria.

Reveen continued to come to the Royal until his health prevented him from continuing with any performances, anywhere.

 

It was a different era back then though, with no internet whatsoever, and shows only advertised their dates on CKDA, CFAX and on the entertainment page of the Times/Colonist.

 

I can honestly say that I've never seen anybody command a stage the way Reveen commanded the stage night after night.

He was an entertainment powerhouse that Victorians (at least those who were around in the early '70's) fell quite in love with.

I see Reveen is on tour again… or is it one of his kids? Is he even still alive? If only there was some way to find out.

Ty Reveen is one of Peters sons, and the current "Reveen".

Ty was Peters onstage assistant in the later shows at the Royal.

It was a real family affair back in the day, with all of Peters sons, and his wife participating as his onstage assistants.

 

Unfortunately, Peter Reveen passed away from Alzheimers a few years back.

It looks like he died exactly 10 years ago.

[Matt R.]

Guess he saw it coming?

Surprise, a show that was not Woke actually had an audience come out for it.
