Add The Boys in the Photograph and The Sound of Music to the Mirvish list. Maybe Priscilla (Queen of the Desert).

Dancap has only announced Dancin'. With The Wiz rumoured.

What other major tours are going out next season? The Color Purple? Legally Blonde? Mary Poppins?

So excited for those shows!

THE WIZ is not happening anymore, apparently. Only definite on Dancap that has been announced is DANCIN'.

Still two more shows to be announced for Mirvish.

Dancap better have something up his sleeve, or he's screwed.

I'd assume the other 2 Mirvish shows will be plays, as none have been leaked yet.

I hear the last two will be a play and a big musical.

Sweet, sounds like an awesome season.

Saw Twelve Angry Men yesterday, it was awesome. Definitely made up for Dirty Dancing.

I was there today and we got some amazing performances, and Ben Elton did a HILARIOUS job of hosting. Good times all around.

impintern,

Was that crackling speaker pissing you off as much as it was for me?

Sat in the Box seats for the 2008-09 announcemnt show i had a better veiw of the audience than the actual show.you can see who`s backstage before they come out and only half the stage when there on. This season looks like a winner. Ben Elton did a good job as host.

Didn't notice the speaker problems... probably because I was sitting at the front, so all the sound wasn't directed at me.

[impintern]

Posted: 2/5/08 at 10:53am

Were there two understudies for the SPRING AWAKENING cast?

Skylar Astin, Brian Charles Johnson, and Jonathan B. Wright were there for sure. And was that Blake Bashoff as Moritz?

And it looked like the understudies were on for Ernst and Melchior.

Great season! Can't wait

sooo... let me get this straight.

The Sound of Music will be at the Princess of Wales.

Dirty Dancing will - presumably - still be at the Royal Alex.

Jersey Boys will be up in North York.

The Canon will be used by Mirvish for touring productions.

And so therefore Dancap will be using the Elgin, and I guess the Panasonic, for whatever it has up its sleeve?

Well as far as we know, Jersey boys will only be at The Toronto Centre for 3 months. And don't forget the Winter Garden.
