A new podcast dedicated to Canadian musical theatre, Tits and Teeth Podcast, has hit the airwaves. Hosted by Canadian show girls Jennifer Thiessen and Kyla Musselman, the podcast brings dressing room banter to the outside world. The pair conceived the idea while performing in the 2017 North American Tour of Saturday Night Fever. 'We decided it was important to open up conversations about the crazy, unconventional lifestyle that artists have. The highs and the lows, we wanted to know about it all from others out there, living and working in the musical theatre business like us' says Thiessen. 'And what better way to get to the bottom of any issue than with a strong cocktail in hand?!' Light-hearted and funny, they chat to an all star line up of Canada's finest musical theatre workers, all whist sipping their guests' favourite cocktail!

If you are looking for an original musical to see at the Toronto Fringe Festival, look no further than MADDIE'S KARAOKE BIRTHDAY PARTY over at the Monarch Tavern. Written by Barbara Johnston and Suzy Wilde, and Directed by Byron Laviolette, this semi-immersive musical is clever and funny, and the performances are excellent. One might think based on the title that the performers would be singing popular karaoke songs, but in fact, everything is original music (either that, or I'm just really out of the loop on what music is popular with the kids these days!) Between the bountiful balloons, packed house, and pumping music, this really does feel like a party! The story also provides a touching display of the good the bad, the ugly…and the beautiful, of millennial friendships. This one shouldn't be missed!
