Confederation Centre is proud to present the explosive new musical BELLES SOEURS: THE MUSICAL this September as the closing production of The Charlottetown Festival season.

For the first time in the 52 seasons Anne of Green Gables-The Musical has run in Charlottetown, an Islander will play Anne's beau. The Charlottetown Festival has announced that Aaron Hastelow will debut as Gilbert this summer opposite P.E.I.'s Jessica Gallant as Anne. This also marks the first time two Island natives have held the storied production's romantic leads.

It may take place on a Greek island, but the wedding bells and music of ABBA are coming to the island province this summer. We here at BWW are thrilled to find out that returning Charlottetown Festival favourite Katie Kerr will be trading Anne's red braids for bridal bouquets as she takes on the lead role of Sophie in their production of Mamma Mia!

Confederation Centre Artistic Director Adam Brazier was recently called in to step into the production of Evangeline currently gracing the stage in Edmonton after actor Jay Davis took ill and was unable to perform. Brazier has chronicled the entire process, from the first phone call to stepping out on stage at the first performance for BroadwayWorld readers. Check out the story below!

Jay Davis who plays the lead Gabriel in Charlottetown Festival's EVANGELINE, became ill and lost his voice right before the first preview show.  Davis did not have an understudy, so artistic director, Adam Brazier, had to step in at the last minute to replace him, it was reported.

BroadwayWorld has exclusive details on what productions Artistic Director Adam Brazier is bringing to the Charlottetown Festival next year. Along with perennial favourite Anne of Green Gables - The Musical, the main stage line up kicks off with Mamma Mia! - which just recently closed on Broadway. This will be the first time since the original North American production debuted in Toronto that the show will be re-imagined and performed as a non replica production in Canada

BroadwayWorld has an exclusive first look at behind the scenes photos from Evangeline at the Charlottetown Fesitval! Check out the exclusive photos from our very own Racheal McCaig below!

Co-produced by Edmonton's Citadel Theatre and The Charlottetown Festival, the remounted Evangeline begins previews in the Homburg Theatre September 14 and opens September 18.
