SCHWARTZ'S At Centaur Theatre Almost Sold Out

Centaur Theatre Company's Artistic Director Roy Surette and the celebrated comedy duo Bowser and Blue have spent months tackling the soon-to-be-famous question: Smoked Meat...Can you write a play about it? Clearly Montrealers think so!

On the eve of the official opening of Schwartz's: The Musical, Centaur is proud to announce that more than 75% of tickets to this musical meat-acular are sold, with the first two weeks of the four-week run completely sold out! The demand has been steadily increasing this past week for tickets to Centaur's latest show, running in its larger theatre, with performances ready to roll for over 400 spectators on a full-house night.

Comedy duo extraordinaire George Bowser and Rick Blue bring the deli's colourful story to the stage with a full cast of larger-than-life characters who call Schwartz's home, and some of the many customers who pass through its doors. Schwartz's: The Musical celebrates what makes us Montrealers with humor, wit and heart, while grappling with such issues as the smoked meat and pastrami debate, the food police, and the dreaded F-word: franchise!

Directed by Centaur's Artistic and Executive Director Roy Surette, the multi-talented cast of actors and musicians comprising of Chris Barillaro, Rick Blue, George Bowser, Jim Cahill, Vito DeFilippo, Bruce Dinsmore, Holly GauthierFrankel, Dominic Lorange, Stephanie Martin, Gordon Masten and Felicia Shulman play a variety of characters ranging from Toronto executives, to Schwartz's owners, staff and loyal customers from over the years!
