I cannot express how transformative Theatre Calgary's performance of 'Come From Away' is and how I wish everyone would have the opportunity to experience it. Almost every performance is sold out and extra days are slowly being added to accommodate the demand. I suspect the power of positive Canadian content is a major draw for everyone and a show of goodwill to connect on a deeper human level.

End of the Rainbow offers a rare chance to witness Judy Garland’s final chapter brought to life with extraordinary depth by Tammy Lukas. Her performance captures Judy’s fire, fragility, and humor with a precision shaped by years of study and a lifelong connection.

At first glance, Home, I'm Darling looks like a light comedy wrapped in vintage charm. The dresses are immaculate, the kitchen gleams, and Judy seems perfectly content playing the role of a 1950s housewife. But Laura Wade's Olivier Award-winning play quickly reveals itself to be about much more than nostalgia and retro fashion.

The YMCA of Greater New York’s 50th annual Heroes of New York Gala took place earlier this week at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, featuring a special performance by Tony Award-winner Ruthie Ann Miles. Check out photos from the event now.

Overall, according to our Tony Nominations grosses analysis, none of the new musicals this season are in the upper half of the theoretical monthly average across the industry. Last year, there were six new musicals in that upper half, four of which were nominees for Best Musical. Luckily, this weekend’s Tony Awards is set to potentially change all of that! But in an era where even the most viewed Tony Awards are viewed less than they were pre-2020, what effect do they have on the grosses at this point?

Kurt Vonnegut’s anti-war sci-fi is probably one of the most censored novels of the 20th century. Published in 1969, it’s a methodical indictment of war and a sharp critique of traditional American values. The book has been reproached for its obscene and graphic writing, the exact same reasons why it remains such a relevant and uncompromising piece of literature. Eric Simonson’s acclaimed adaptation barges into Southwark Playhouse with its unyielding message. Director Douglas Baker reinforces the story’s nature as a parable of resistance and a cautionary tale against the dehumanising practices of warfare.
