SCHWARTZ'S: THE MUSICAL Adds Seven Performances, 4/26-5/1

In response to the increasing demand for tickets to Schwartz's: The Musical, Centaur Theatre is pleased to announce that seven new performances have been added to the soon-to-be legendary musical about Montreal's famous smoked meat eatery. We will be presenting Schwartz's: The Musical will be presented from Wednesday April 27th to Saturday April 30th at 8PM, on Saturday and Sunday afternoon at 2PM and Sunday evening at 7PM. Centaur will also be selling Schwartz's smoked meat sandwiches on Wednesday April 27th from 6:30-7:30 PM in Seagram's Gallery.

Even though tickets can be tough to get for the hit show, Montrealers can see highlights from Schwartz's: The Musical for FREE! On Thursday April 7th, there will be a special performance of select musical numbers from Schwartz's: The Musical at Place des Arts metro station at 4:40PM. This unique event is being presented in collaboration with the STM's Metro Arts series.

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!
