Mirvish Productions News

Crow's Theatre and The Musical Stage Company have announced the cast and creative team for the long-awaited Canadian premiere of the Broadway phenomenon NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 by Dave Malloy. This 12-time Tony-nominated musical delivers a radically contemporary and moving take on Tolstoy's War and Peace through its audacious storytelling and groundbreaking score that mixes indie rock, pop, folk, electronic dance, and classic Broadway music. 

Mirvish Productions mourns the death of Tony Bennett at the age of 96 in his New York home on Friday July 21, 2023. Bennett was a longtime friend of the Mirvish family and a frequent guest at Ed's Warehouse Restaurant. In 1978, Bennett performed a week of concerts at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, October 23 to 28, that remains a highlight of the venue's storied history. 

What came from an inability to perform inside has generated perhaps one of Theatre Collingwood's most popular events.  Back for its 3rd year, the PORCHSIDE FESTIVAL was the brainchild Executive Director Erica Angus and has turned into an annual event that the community and visitors are just dying to bring their lawn chairs to!

The lights of the Royal Alexandra Theatre will be dimmed at 8 pm on Tuesday, June 20.

Come From Away, the multi award-winning ‘Best Musical’ across the globe, has announced dates and venues for its first ever tour of the UK and Ireland.

What did our critic think of PRESSURE at Royal Alexandra Theatre? Mirvish Productions presents Pressure playing at the Royal Alexandra Theatre until March 5 2023. Fitting to the name, this performance is a pressurized exploration into the days leading up to D-Day in June, 1944. General Dwight Eisenhower (exquisitely played by Malcolm Sinclair) led the Allied Forces on a carefully calculated attack on Nazi-occupied France. With 350 000 lives at stake, the one unpredictable wild card was the often unforgiving weather. The man tasked with delivering the most crucial weather forecast in history fell on Scottish meteorologist James Stagg (Kevin Doyle).

BroadwayWorld has learned that a stage adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s bestselling novel Room will open on Broadway in April 2023. The production is expected to be a limited run through September. No casting or theater has been announced.

The internationally acclaimed hit show The Simon & Garfunkel Story will play Toronto’s CAA Theatre April 11 – 16, 2023.  Originally scheduled to play in May and June of 2020, The Simon & Garfunkel Story was forced to cancel all performances due to Covid-19.  Almost three years later, the show will finally enjoy its spring run in Toronto.

What did     These 12 actors have created the most perfect professional ensemble show I have ever seen. There was no stand out star of this show, there were no pro or antagonists. There was only circumstances and stories. Often reviewers say things like, “This is not a show to be missed!’ “Catch it while you can!” and other such things, so I won’t. But I will tell you that you will be missing out on some of the best theater I have seen. So, get your tickets, it’s only “90 minutes without an intermission” and worth every second. This is a show I personally hope to see again and again.
