DISGRACED Sets Box Office Record at Toronto's Panasonic Theatre

David Mirvish is very proud to announce that the Toronto production of DISGRACED has set a box office record at the Panasonic Theatre. It is the highest attended drama in the theatre's history (the venue opened in 2005 with the avant-garde entertainment Blue Man Group, which played until 2007).

DISGRACED has been seen by more than 10,000 theatregoers in Toronto since beginning performances on April 3, 2016. This is its final week of performances. It closes on Sunday, April 24. A strictly limited number of seats remain for the final performances.

Starring Raoul Bhaneja, Karen Glave, Ali Momen, Michael Rubenfeld and Birgitte Solem, DISGRACED is directed by Robert Ross Parker. A Hope and Hell Theatre Company production, it is presented by David Mirvish as part of the 2015-16 Off-Mirvish Season.

Says David Mirvish: "DISGRACED not only has attracted a very large audience for a drama in Toronto, it has become a major topic of conversation in our community because of the timely and important questions it raises. It is very satisfying to see a very diverse audience for this play, and it is especially gratifying to see that more than half of them remain in their seats after the performance to engage in a conversation about the show with the cast.

"Our goal with every Off-Mirvish show is to start a conversation in our community. DISGRACED has achieved this brilliantly.

"I'd like to thank the show's star Raoul Bhaneja for being a champion of this play and for bringing it to us through his company, Hope and Hell Theatre. I know this production will also play the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton in 2017. I'm confident it will meet with the same success there."

The winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize, DISGRACED is the "emotionally shattering"(Newsday) tale of the stories we tell our friends, the secrets we tell our lovers and the lies we tell ourselves to find our place in the American Dream.

The Toronto production has received rave reviews from the critics and is greeted with nightly standing ovations from audiences.

After every performance of DISGRACED at the Panasonic, there is a Q&A session between the audience and cast.
