angoradebs said: "carlisle14 said"Seattle got Some Like it Hot in Sept for the 2025/2026 season. So, seems like they got another season."September 2025 is about as early as possible as you can get for a new season. That doesn't really confirm a whole second year. Mrs. Doubtfire and Company are two recent shows that just had a few stops in the season after launch but didn't really get a year 2 - more like an extended year 1.My city is announcing next week so I know I just need to wait and see....

Jakeevan942 said: "While some of the posts above may have merit, Cecily left for the same reason lots of people leave non-union tours:a longer-duration, better paying gig. She is a swing on the Equity tour of Shucked." Yeah, I noticed that too when they announced the full cast. I'm super happy for Cecily to be joining an equity tour.

TheatreMonkey said: "Jay Lerner-Z said: "Ten percent of profits will go to the Band Aid charity.That’s great, but shouldn’t it be more? Perhaps even all?Famine has not gone away."You're right -- world hunger certainly hasn't gone away.But this production isn't a charitable endeavor, like the Live Aid concerts were. And perhaps one could question the ethics of a commercial venture that's focused on the creation story of a charitable one (no irony lost there!) butJust For One Dayisn't trying to...

uncageg said: "Hope this makes it to the U.S. I so remember that day. I was living in Philly. Couldn't get a ticket to see the Philly concert at JFK Stadium so a bunch of us sat at my place and watched both concerts live on TV.For anyone who has seen the musical, is it about the concert itself? It says it is about the day and the people united around it. So is there a story outside of the concert itself as part of the show?" Others can probably explain it better than I could. It mainly focuse...

They play her straight, like an ingenue or a Disney princess.Maria is strange, unpredictable and quirky. She is sexy in a bizarre way that is out of place in stiff-upper-lip aristocratic Austria.

Is it even legal?"Is this about that post on Reddit from earlier today?Not a lawyer, but I have some knowledge about copyright law. I didn't see the original post that was taken down, so it's hard to say. Most likely, it is completely legal. Whenever companies file for copyright protections, they are usually really broad to cover all ...

Toronto has had several sit-down productions. SIX is a sit-down that is currently running, The Lion King opens one later this year too. They've also had sit-downs of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Dear Evan Hansen, Come from Away, Matilda, Kinky Boots, War Horse, Les Miserables, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, and several others.

inception said: "A non-Equity Tina? Who wants to put money on that playing Western Canada?"Definitely would not surprise me at all.

fashionguru_23 said: "The mystery show has to be something that isn't announced yet for tour, or is a transfer from London, or a world premiere. I have a hard time believing they would hold back the name of the show if it was announced in other cities."That's what I'm thinking. It would make no sense for it to be another tour. It's possible it could be Come from Away (they are just waiting until they announce SIX is closing), but the problem is that most people know it's returning anyway and ...

forfivemoreminutes said: "So is the Frozen tour ending without ever coming to Toronto? It’s shocking to me that Ottawa got the Frozen tour but Toronto didn’t."Yeah that baffles me. Edmonton's Citadel Theatre is even putting on their own production of Frozen in February 2025. With Beauty and the Beast starting up next season and Frozen having played just about everywhere, it sounds like the tour is closing up. Fingers crossed Frozen is somehow that mystery 7th show, but I'm not getting my hope...

Call_me_jorge said: "Is Toronto getting anotherLion King sit down as an apology for Frozen never getting there?"Perhaps lol. I would still have preferred getting Frozen. If Aladdin is any indication, Disney shows sell like crazy in Toronto.Although I'm not thrilled with Lion King being on subscription, this is a fairly strong season for Mirvish and certainly an improvement over this year's season. I am curious what that 7th show will be.

Timon3 said: "A.J. said: "The Toronto 2024/2025 season will be announced on Feb 13th.We’re still waiting for a number of tours from the past few years: Frozen, Beetlejuice, Funny Girl, Company, Moulin Rouge and more."There is catching up to do on big Broadway shows, I could add several more to the list.Toronto equally has a track record of looking to take big shows both from Broadway and West End. So wonder if they would be looking at National Theatre’s The Witches, The Motive and the Cue or ...

Call_me_jorge said: "There is a regional theatre in the Chicago area doing Frozen in the fall(Paramount in Aurora), so I suspect the Frozen tour will close at the end of its currently last scheduled city in San Jose.Any other tours that might be wrapping up after this season? Hadestown, Ain’t Too Proud, Jagged Little Pill, or Tina? Any of the latter 3 I feel can easily move non-equity."For what it's worth, Tours To You is saying that Hadestown, Ain't too Proud, and Tina will all probably go n...

Luminaire2 said: "Which seems to be a new tradition of announcing one big name show in advance of the full season announcement, Broadway Across Canada has announced Lion King will be part of the 24/25 season in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa.https://www.instagram.com/p/C01ldvEs1R2/"Having The Lion King play in Ottawa presumably at the same time Toronto is doing their second sit-down of The Lion King is certainly interesting. I know there's a distance between Ottawa and Toronto, but ...

MelissaF said: "Mirvish Toronto has posted they will be announcing 8 shows in the upcoming weeks. Has anyone bears anything new and exciting that’s coming? Hadestown already announced a return. Thanks!"My impression is that these are 8 bonus shows being added to the current season (so outside of the main subscription). So, I wouldn't expect anything too significant. Any of the big tours that we still haven't gotten, I would have to think will be coming via subscription (Frozen, Beetlejuice, M...

OuttaTowner said: "Was looking forward to Chess in this season but alas it appears we won’t likely see that until 24-25The rest of my wish list is short but equally as up-in-the air. Am hoping that some of you with clearer crystal balls - if mor influential connections than I - can opine about the likelihood of seeing any of these shows open here before the next Tonys?:Crazy for You (perhaps at the Beaumont) - it seemed a foregone conclusion that this would transfer given the notices, but tic...

StepShuffleBallchange said: "I noticed Mirvish is a producer on the ALW Wizard of Oz playing London this summer. Maybe this will play Toronto at some point? A stop on the tour or a stand-alone production?"That makes sense, and wouldn't surprise me.
