Starvox's GRAEME OF THRONES to Open in Toronto This Fall
By: Tyler Peterson
Starvox Entertainment has announced it is bringing the hit theatrical production Graeme of Thrones to Toronto this fall for its Canadian stage debut. Torontonians will be able to vie for a seat on the throne through the comedic parody that will be on stage at the Panasonic Theatre (651 Yonge St.) from Tuesday, October 11 through Sunday, October 23.
Tickets go on sale Monday, May 30 at 10 a.m. at mirvish.com. Direct from a four-star, sold-out run in London's West End, this hilarious parody is coming to Canada in association with Alex Jarret for GSDHT LTD. The London production received the "Critics Choice" award from both the London Evening Standard and The Times, who called it "charming, funny" and "spot on". "We are excited to be bringing the critically-acclaimed Graeme of Thrones to Toronto. Fans of the show are not going to want to miss this incredibly entertaining live parody when it hits the stage this fall," said Starvox Entertainment president, Corey Ross. "Funny from start to finish, the show incorporates all the best elements of the hit TV series and is a show that people will be talking about long after it is over." Avid 'Thrones' fan Graeme just wants to recreate his favourite fantasy saga on stage aided and abetted by his best friend Paul and the woman he used to like in school, Bryony. While he does not quite have the same budget as the TV show, or as many cast members, or the performance skill required, he is sure George RR Martin would approve and that is what matters. When news reaches them that an influential theatrical producer is in the building, Graeme decides that this could be his big break -- as long as nothing goes wrong.Photo Credit: Paul Wilkinson
