The Toronto stop was the first professional production I'd ever seen!

I would like to say the most I've enjoyed a touring production would have to be The Lightning Thief, but I wouldn't necessarily say the very best. I've got no clue if this counts or not, because it essentially turned into a sit-down pr

I saw the closing night performance of the original Toronto production, starring a great deal of the original cast. I'm genuinely surprised that almost all of the parts of the show that have stuck in my mind since I saw it have all been taken from the show. Specifically, the car in the pit, the pool jump and the bike exploding were all moments that I thought would be the things to win the New York crowd over.

Ah - say what you want about Drabinsky - I miss the days when Toronto was truly a hub for musical theater!"

I'm so disappointed that I missed out on so many iconic productions in Toronto. I was born long after Saigon, Phantom, Les Mis, CATS, Tommy, etc all had landmark Toronto productions. Really the only "landmark" thing Toronto has at the moment now that Dear Evan Hansen lef

How many Tonys does one have to win to have their name above title? This is bs."

This is a reach. It's aesthetically pleasing from a graphic design standpoint and makes geometrical sense and nothing more. Even still realistically, a

The show itself is not a problem whatsoever; it's still selling minimum $99 seats on Broadway on its fourth Evan replacement with no sign of stopping any time soon, the tour broke even recently and therefore definitely remains popular cross-country.
