No idea. I've been checking out the website a lot. They haven't updated. The RENT website said that it was supposedly coming to Toronto, but that's been taken down now.
Well I guess the have brought other non-equity shows lately (Cats & was Evita?) but regardless RENT wouldn't be part of their season, just an extra show they bring in for a couple nights.
well...it seems Bombay Dreams and Legends will play in Toronto.

Ahh I wish my parents were into theater as much as I am.
I mean, we're a pretty wealthy family so we go to see shows more often than normal people would, but if I had the choice (and the car.. and the money..) I'd totally sign up for the whole Seasons dealio.
I'm seeing LOTR March 8th though, and Wicked twice when it returns, so that's not THAT bad for this year? Haha.
Any predictions on what Broadway shows they will bring...I mean we know Wicked is returning in th fall...I think (wel...hope) that Dirty Rotten Scoundrels tour will come here. I also feel like the Little Women tour might. I doubt that the All Shook Up tour will, but I think it would be wise. Toronto likes fluffy entertainment like that in general (I mean...5 years of Mama Mia!).
When Mirvishes annnounce their new season they hodl a press conference and usually I get invited to it. As soon as I hear anything I will post here and let you know!
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks." Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
I've been on the Mirvish site like crazy. And i never get any new info. Argh. Please do tell when you find out something new. Oh, ied to see RENT come back, but i do know that I'm seeing WICKED again when it comes. Updated On: 2/16/06 at 11:07 PM
So in Richard Ouzounian's Star article today he dicloses CanStage's 06/07 season.
He writes:
"A smaller, but equally promising musical is the world premiere of The Story Of My Life, written by Torontonians Neil Bartram and Brian Hill, who have been working in New York for the past few years, where the project about two lifelong friends has gotten considerable attention. It opens Nov. 2, 2006.
Reliable reports indicate that one of the two leading roles is being seriously considered by the Toronto-born star of a long-running American sitcom, who will find himself at liberty next season when his series leaves the air."
Yes, I know. I was anticipating Canstage's season more than Mirvishes. I don't think Mirvish would do either, but I thought they might have had a shot with Canstage. There is no Assassin's tour, but Canstage doesn't often hold tours.
Yeah, I honestly think it might have been...and to be honest, I think Toronto would embrace that show. I mean it sold out its short stay here, but something tells me it would sell well for at least a year.
And can i just comment on how creepily similar Tag's Foa avatar and MarkCohen's avatar are?
