New Canadian Musical GROW Will Come to The Segal Centre in May

The Segal Centre for Performing Arts will present GROW, a new Canadian musical by the originating producer of Come From Away, Michael Rubinoff. The musical features a book by Matt Murray and a vibrant score by Colleen Dauncey and Akiva Romer-Segal. This Montreal premiere will run from May 24 to June 14, 2026, at the Sylvan Adams Theatre.

In GROW, twin sisters from an Amish community leave their sheltered rural life to experience the realities of the big city. What do they find? An unexpected entrepreneurial venture... in an urban cannabis grow-op. Between culture shock, dreams of freedom, and a redefinition of family values, Hannah and Ruth soon discover that sometimes we flourish in the most unlikely places.

This show explores universal themes such as family, faith, and the power of choosing one's own path. GROW offers a fresh and heartfelt take on youth, belief, and the beauty of opening up to the world.

GROW was developed in part through the Segal Centre's Stage Forward Fund. It is a reflection of the Segal's ongoing commitment to being at the forefront of theatrical innovation, nurturing the stories and artists who will define Canadian theatre's next chapter.

"Mark my words—you'll be proud to say you saw it first in Montreal when it takes Broadway by storm," said Artistic and Executive Director, Lisa Rubin.
