At a media announcement yesterday, Dancap Productions added two new shows to their 2011 line-up at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts: DONNY AND MARIE and COLM WILKINSON IN CONCERT: BROADWAY AND BEYOND; and one new show at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, the explosive Broadway musical GREEN DAY'S AMERICAN IDIOT. This is very exciting news for Dancap and, I have to admit, I think that these are good choices. Also, I think this is great news for the Toronto theatre scene.
In his address yesterday, Aubrey Dan, President of Dancap Productions, stated that "Dancap Productions is constantly seeking out the newest and most interesting theatrical experiences for Toronto audiences," "and we are committed to providing the most flexible customer service options available as part of our endless season of programming!" Dancap is offering the new and innovative FLEXI-Subscription, Dancap Productions is offering the convenience and cost savings of buying a minimum of three shows in advance of a general on-sale, access to the best seats in the theatre, and helpful email reminders prior to the show.
DONNY AND MARIE
July 5-17, 2011 - Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts
This theatrical concert, which marks the first time the duo have performed live together in almost 30 years, showcases Donny and Marie's greatest hits including "Paper Roses," "Puppy Love," "Go away Little Girl," and others, in a rave-reviewed multi-media spectacle with a big rock band and show-stopping production numbers, audience interaction, and the trademark teasing between siblings.
Colm Wilkinson
August 12 & 13 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.
A celebrated star in Canada, on Broadway and in London's West End, Colm Wilkinson has spent many years on the stage mesmerizing audiences with his starring roles in international productions of
Les Misérables and
The Phantom of the Opera. This Dancap presentation of COLM WILKINSON IN CONCERT: BROADWAY AND BEYOND will coincide with the North American release of his new album, Broadway And Beyond The Concert Songs, and will feature such signature songs as "The Music of the Night," "Bring Him Home," and "Danny Boy."
GREEN DAY'S AMERICAN IDIOT
December 28, 2011 - January 15, 2012 - Toronto Centre for the Arts
Direct from Broadway, the smash-hit musical AMERICAN IDIOT tells the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. Based on Green Day's GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum album and featuring the hits "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "21 Guns," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Holiday" and the blockbuster title track, AMERICAN IDIOT boldly takes the Broadway musical where it's never gone before.
With direction by Michael Mayer (
Spring Awakening) winner of the 2010 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Director of a Musical, choreography by Steven Hoggett (
Black Watch), orchestrations and arrangements Tom Kitt (
Next to Normal), and Tony Award-winning Scenic Design by Christine Jones and Lighting Design by Kevin Adams, AMERICAN IDIOT is an experience Charles Isherwood of
The New York Times declares "thrilling, emotionally charged, and as moving as any Broadway musical I've seen this year!"
