Albert Schultz, General Director of the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, today announced the line-up of the Global Cabaret Festival 2010 presented by Global Toronto, formerly known as the Canwest Cabaret Festival, Canada's most dynamic, weekend-long celebration of songs and stories in one of Toronto's most beautiful and versatile venues - the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in the Distillery Historical District.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the biggest Fringe Festival in the world, and Canada's Cabaret Superstar Sharron Matthew's is taking her show there for the first time ever. Once she arrived in Scotland she sat down to talk with BWW about the excitment of participating in EdFringe, Alan Cumming, Taylor the Latte Boy and WORLD DOMINATION!

Producers Michael Rubinoff and Daryl Roth are proud to announce that, after weeks of packed houses and heaps of critical and popular praise, the Toronto production of the award-winning New York smash hit Love, Loss, and What I Wore has been extended by popular demand, and will continue at the Panasonic Theatre with a brand new all-star cast, from September 10 - October 2. Tickets for the extension go on sale Saturday, August 7: 416-872-1212 or www.ticketking.com They also announced that CTV 'FashionTelevision' host Jeanne Beker, Barbara Budd (a Stratford actor prior to her long stint as co-host of CBC Radio's 'As It Happens') and Gemini, Genie and Dora Award-winning Sheila McCarthy ('Little Mosque,' 'Emily of New Moon') will star in the September cast of Love, Loss, and What I Wore, along with two other cast members to be announced.

Love Loss and What I Wore is an off-Broadway hit, and I went to see it before it has its Canadian premiere next week in Toronto. A wonderfully fun, touching and poignant show - I think Canadian women will have a great time experiencing this unique theatrical event.
