"Under the umbrella title of “Debuts and Divas,” theatre manager Michael Grit is living up to his promise to deliver unique theatre.
Divas claim pride of place, with well-known and beloved-to-the-GTA figures such as SCTV stalwart and Tony Award winner Andrea Martin, who brings her new one-woman show Final Days! Everything Must Go! to the centre on Oct. 2.
The first Christine Daae from the Toronto run of The Phantom of the Opera, Rebecca Caine, will appear Oct. 15 with her cabaret show Raising Caine, which packed the Telus Centre to an enthusiastic house last fall.
Jackie Richardson, Richmond Hill’s “homegrown diva,” leads the New Year’s Eve Celebrations on Dec. 31.
Broadway takes over for the second half of the season with Tony winners Jane Krakowski (also starring on 30 Rock) and Patti LuPone appearing in separate shows, on Feb. 19 and April 21, 2011.
The rest of the season is eclectic, with Ireland’s Celtic Tenors (Dec. 5), China’s Yu-Wei Dance Collection (May 4, 2011), India’s D’Arranged Marriage (March 10) and lots of Canadian content as well, with everyone from rocker Kim Mitchell (Nov. 12) to author Robert Munsch (Oct. 26 and 27) on the bill.
Comedian and former Seinfeld co-star Jerry Stiller (Nov. 23) and Tovah Feldshuh as Golda Meir in Golda’s Balcony (April 4), and lots more live theatre, dance and music round out the varied bill of fare."
