Toronto Thread (Mirvish Update) — Page 3

NOTHING SACRED was another fine production, thanks to Panych and to Mike Shara who is quickly becoming onf of our leading actors (he was a stand-out in TAKE ME OUT.)

SWEENEY was unconventional but in ways that did not serve the piece well.

Also, somone here was asking about ASSASSINS. CanStage already did ASSASINS. They did the Canadian premiere of the piece in 1994 for a critically acclaimed run that was a near sell-out.

Here's the latest according to the Star:

Mirvish season so far:

-Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me (Broadway tryout)

-Legends (with Joan Collins & Linda Evans, first leg of tour)

-Orpheus Descending (remounting of Stratford play with original cast Seana McKenna, Jonathan Goad, Thom Marriott and Dana Green)

-Monty Python's Spamalot (assuming just the North American tour, not a sitdown)

Rumours of RENT and Phantom continue!

Tag, I'm pretty sure Spamalot will be the tour and not a sit-down as well - the site mentioned that there will be future dates in Canada, so Toronto seems to be a given! (And please, please come to Vancouver!)

I've read Morris Panych's plays (and played Nurse Wilson in "Seven Stories"!) but will be seeing him direct for the first time this spring - he's doing "Waiting For Godot" at Vancouver's Stanley Theatre. Should be interesting!

I've just recently started going to see shows on my own, is there any discounts for Toronto shows like they have in NYC? At the moment I can only see one show a year because of ticket prices.

Thanks all, for the above information.

I'm excited for all of it!
