“I saw The Great Comet at Crow's soon after it opened,” explains David Mirvish. “As did many of our staff. Like everyone else who has seen this show, we were enchanted. Chris Abraham has directed a superb telling of Dave Malloy's unique and wonderful musical with a cast of some of Canada's finest musical theatre actors and musicians. We are thrilled, delighted and honoured to be presenting it at the Royal Alex.”
Chris Abraham says: “We can't think of a more thrilling next step in the journey of our production, than to bring The Great Comet to the Royal Alex next summer. It's truly Canada's most iconic and beloved Edwardian theatre, where many theatrical legends have performed. It will give us a gorgeous playground to bring new life to the immersive charm and powerhouse performances that Toronto audiences have so passionately embraced at Crow's Theatre. The opportunity to expand our ensemble, orchestra, and enhance Julie Fox and Josh Quinlan's spectacularly immersive design, will bring new surprises for audiences, especially the fans that have been coming back multiple times to see the show in record numbers.”
