Broadway Across Canada announces 2019-20 Season

With the promise of the hit musical Hamilton to be included in its 2020-21 season, Broadway across Canada has announced its 2019-20 Season for Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver.

 

The season shows include:

1. RENT – 20th Anniversary Tour

In 1996, an original rock musical by a little-known composer opened on Broadway…and forever changed the landscape of American theatre. Two decades later, Jonathan Larson’s RENT continues to speak loudly and defiantly to audiences across generations and all over the world. And now, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning masterpiece returns to the stage in a vibrant 20th anniversary touring production.

3. DEAR EVAN HANSEN

The Tony® and Grammy® Award-Winning Best Musical.

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it.

Edmonton: Feb 11 – Feb 16
Calgary: Feb 18 – Feb 23, 2020
Vancouver: Feb 25 – Mar 1, 2020

4. Wicked

Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, Wicked—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. It will send your spirits soaring to heights you’ll never forget.

Vancouver: Jul 9 – Jul 26, 2020
Calgary: Jul 29 – Aug 9, 2020
Edmonton: Aug 12 – Aug 22, 2020

5. Finding Neverland

 

Directed by visionary Tony winner Diane Paulus, Finding Neverland tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever.

Vancouver: Apr 7 – Apr 12, 2020

New subscription packages will be available on January 28, 2019 and start at $130 (Edmonton & Calgary) for the 3 show package of Rent, Waitress and Dear Evan Hansen. Finding Neverland is included for Vancouver subscribers and subscription starts at $168.

If you are a member of 2019-20 season, then when Bradway Across Canada announces 2020-21 season, you will have first access to Hamilton tickets, if you renew your subscription for the 2020-21 season.

      I had the privilege of seeing Come From Away in Toronto last September. I can hardly wait to see it again. Any chance it will be coming to Saskatoon or Regina in the near future? It would be well received at either or both places. We support everything well in Saskatchewan!!
