no inside info but he's definitely trying to keep it afloat. hopefully he will have a successful summer series as the competition is good for mirvish.

I don't even understand how the Toronto theater scene works. The Winter Garden and Elgin Theaters are always empty through out the year, except during tiff and Christmas time, and I'm sure it's not owned by Mirvish. So what gives?
Also, the future Sony Centre, isn't it up for grab as well?

Sony Centre Reopens Oct 2010, Does anyone know if Dancap has any shows or if he has some sort of deal here.

The Elgin/WinterGarden is run by the province as a heritage site so apparently there are rules about renting it out and stuff and they have so many other small commitments that it prevents it from being a permanent spot for one particular show (sounds silly to me as a business side but I guess its our gov't). It's similar to how Toronto Perf Arts was run before Dancap struck a deal.
I think Dancap in gen is fine cause they are producing a bunch of shows on Broadway that seem to be doing well. Now it's just how to get that clout into Toronto.

From the article: Is Aubrey Dan going to secure a new theatre? My spies say the aspiring titan of Dancap Productions was hoping to put a 2,000-seat theatre on Lake Ontario via a partnership with one of the development teams shortlisted by Waterfront Toronto for the Bayside site (between Sherbourne and Parliament south of Queens Quay East). Each applicant needed to include a cultural project. Now Waterfront Toronto has tentatively selected a favoured developer, and it is apparently not Dan’s team. So does he have a Plan B?
I guess Dan's search for a theatre continues.

Sherbourne and Parliament , Queens Quay E. I would not go in that area to see live Theatre. Whats wrong with building a Theatre in a nice area? Im glad this project did not happen.

Ouzounian is reporting that Dancap will bring the touring production of Next to Normal to Toronto in July 2011 (theatre TBD).

Thanks for the link to the article. I have been looking forward to seeing this one.
It seems that the Four Seasons Centre would be too large for this show, if Dancap is doing the Summer Season again next year. Maybe by the time this comes around Jersey Boys will be finished? That theatre might be better suited for a show like this.

Dancap is also an involved with the Broadway production of MEMPHIS, which has just announced a tour for next year, so we could possibly see it here in 2011.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
