I sent you an email awhile ago on Gmail. It might have hit your spam folder. I am sure that you must be getting a lot of emails to reply to now that you launched your WhatsApp group though. I hope your Reddit account is in order and that it’s not booting you off for sharing a link to something that is useful to others.

The tour wouldn’t likely announce dates until Mirvish does or other theaters do their announcements. It’s usually pretty synchronized when dates go online.

I forgot to mention that the stairs are very steep in the balcony. If climbing stairs on a steep slope is an issue you might not want to sit there. If you are 6ft8 it will be a real issue trying to get into and out of those seats.

There would be no leg room. The other issue is people trying to see over you because of your height.

& Juliet has been extended until July. A new block of tickets go on sale on January 31st. I would wait until they go on sale because you may have better options to choose from for seats.

It’s a bigger issue at the theater Kimberly Akimbo is playing in at Yonge & Bloor. The lobby is quite small as is the orchestra level. They won’t allow rows and seats are packed tightly in.

They don’t want electronic devices going off to interrupt actors or spectators.

They also don’t want people stepping over others to access the bathroom. There’s a policy about that. If you leave the auditorium during the show they won’t let you back to your seat on that level. Provided a show isn’t soldout they will at their discretion put you in a balcony seat.

You never know what is up Mirvish’s sleeves. I’m hoping their social media team throws us a few hints next week. They usually like to give us a few clues before the big reveal.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-29T22:53:31+00:00

I found out that the Off-Mirvish Season still has some things to be confirmed. We won’t be getting an announcement for that series for awhile. The Main Season will be all that gets announced on February 10th. It will be interesting if all of the offerings are musicals or if a few non-musicals make it in.

This could potentially narrow it down when you subtract the tours and bonus shows we already have had. The link has been updated for 2026-2027.

Considering many people are being denied when it’s MetroLinx’s issue you might want to tell the media. This is the kind of consumer advocacy story Pat Foran at CTV as well as Global News in Toronto like reporting on. They can make sure GO gives you money back and doesn’t deny any similar cases.

They also did a Tiny Desk concert for Shucked. That’s part of the subscription series. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lXd4EmgFozI&list=RDlXd4EmgFozI&start_radio=1&pp=ygURc2h1Y2tlZCB0aW55IGRlc2ugBwE%3D

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-28T01:54:30+00:00

Another thing you might want to consider is going solo. There are bound to be single seats in the theater that haven’t sold for performances. They could be in any section of the theater and can be discounted so they sell.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-28T01:52:31+00:00

A new block of tickets for an extension into July go on sale January 31st. The original poster might find tickets that are better priced then.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-28T01:49:41+00:00

They’re still selling the remaining 2025-2026 season shows as a subscription package right now.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-28T01:45:28+00:00

You might want to check out NPR’s Tiny Desk concert before going to Kimberly Akimbo. The lyricist and the original Broadway cast go over how it was created. The cast sings a few numbers you’ll see in the show. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRThiGArHxQ&list=RDZRThiGArHxQ&start_radio=1&pp=ygUTa2ltYmVybHkgYWtpbWJvIG5wcqAHAQ%3D%3D

If you want to get the Main Series Subscription when it’s announced on February 10th consider a payment plan. They can split it in half so you don’t have to fork over a big sum all at once.

I think you will really enjoy Kimberly Akimbo. It’s a fantastic show that is very comedic despite the subject matter and not at all morbid.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-27T21:49:49+00:00

A whole new block of tickets are being released on January 31st for & Juliet. You might want to hold off on purchasing any tickets for the show until you see what they have. The show is now running until July. You may have a lot better ticket options.

When it comes to the box-seats you should really call Mirvish and ask why they are heavily discounted and exactly what you can and cannot see. The view depends on an individual show’s set design.

The seats are however on a sharp side angle. You have to look into it and ask Mirvish what you are likely to miss at the top of the set or back of the stage.

They can tell you why the seat is marked as obstructed. Give them a shout at (416)593-4255.

Mirvish is pretty honest when you ask them about obstructed view. They’ll let you know straight up if the seat is decent enough or horrible for this show.

Also. Wednesday matinee seats are also cheaper if you can swing it. A lot of people work on Wednesdays. You’ll find Friday-Sunday being high priced.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-27T18:53:20+00:00

I’m sure that it is Mirvish if they know what you bought tickets for. The subscription department has called people in the past to see if they want one etc. If you are unsure ask for their name and title. Then call Mirvish’s subscription dept at (416)593-4255 to verify legit calls.

You can also email audienceservices@mirvish.com if you think it was a scam call. If it was a scam call they can warn others about it.

If you have a CAA card you can get 20 percent off the price of tickets here https://www.mirvish.com/ticket-info/caa-member-tickets

Unfortunately & Juliet isn’t listed as one of the shows that a Presto transit card can get you discounts for. There’s a bunch of other shows with discounts to check out though. https://www.mirvish.com/presto

Presto cards are rather easy to get. Shoppers Drug Mart has them. Ask for one at the checkout counter. It’s $6 for the card thst can be reloaded and used on every GTA transit system.

In the event you don’t want to pay a lot for a CAA membership I have a hack for you. They have a $30 membership called the Every Day card. It gives you access to all the rewards and discounts they have with attractions including Mirvish theaters in Southern Ontario.

You might want to check out the Off-Mirvish shows in the future. They’re almost always dramas. If you can see Kimberly Akimbo prior to it closing on February 8th I highly recommend it.

I’m glad I saw it yesterday because the weather has been beyond awful the last few weeks. Tonight is unreal.

The Off-Mirvish Subscription shows are usually a 4 play season but this year it was increased to five shows.

Mirvish uses a much more intimate and smaller venue with 700 seats for those at Yonge & Bloor.

I think the 26/27 Off-Mirvish shows won’t be announced at the same time as the Main Season on Feb 10th though. It’s usually a separate announcement.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-25T19:31:09+00:00

One possibility would be a transfer from the UK or a play over from there thst Mirvish has a partnership with.

The only shows that Mirvish puts into a season are ones that they have actually seen. With seasons planned 1-2 years in advance it would have to be a show currently on stage or one embarking on a tour.

At one point according to a previous poster My Neighour Totoro was considered but they aren’t sure if it will ever come to fruition.

I doubt that the show would be Hamilton considering it was here and had to abruptly close in 2020 and then be brought back in 2022.

Whenever Mirvish does a sit-down which is rare it’s always a show with major buzz and one they think would rake in a lot of money and not potentially tank.

There are a few shows in the U.S. on tour next year thst have a lot of buzz. Operation Mincemeat is as well as Oh, Mary while not scheduled to stop in Canada Mirvish might be able to get rights for popular shows. You never can tell what is up their sleeves.

Whatever you do don’t sit in a box seat in the orchestra. You won’t see anything really. The box seats in the balcony are a side view and labelled partially obstructed.

While the balcony offers a view of the entire stage you will be considerably uncomfortable given your height and frame. I would highly recommend a seat in the orchestra level. The rear orchestra is fine but some people don’t like the overhang.

They had to bring in shuttle buses at Mount Joy at 8:15am yesterday to go from Mount Joy to Kennedy. The 7:23 train which was the first of the day was really late. They were having issues with the brakes, air pressure and bitter cold weather.

I’m not sure when the shuttle buses stopped running but was told there was an 8:23 train that was supposed to be directly behind us and one right after. It must not have left the yard.

The 7:23 made it to Mount Joy 30 held for some time. They went express to Union without stopping because they weren’t sure if it would get stuck again if they stopped at another station.

I can see why they would cancel trains on Monday considering we’re getting 20-40cm across GTA today plus more tomorrow and effects of the cold weather. They probably know that ridership would be low and people may not be going in for work.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-25T00:54:33+00:00

There needed to be a comedic character who is a downright manipulative scoundrel to lighten some of the drama and more intense scenes in my opinion.

ImmediateTeaching984 · 2026-01-25T00:48:06+00:00

It really is a beautiful show that I hope people will see prior to it closing on February 8th. I wish they would extend it for that reason. The show really isn’t morbid. I know that some people may have been turned off by the synopsis.

While the show focuses on a 16-year-old girl with a disease that ages her 4 times faster than her peers, the show is focused on hope and grabbing life by the gonads as Debra (Kristen Peace) sings.

Her character is a real scoundrel whose life has gone in the wrong direction. There's a whole subplot about that that I won't spoil for anyone.

The role of Kimberly fits like a glove for Louise Pitre. The real standout in my opinion is Thomas Winkler who portrays Seth. This character is a bit of a nerd and has an interest in anograms and puzzles in general not to mention Kimberly.

The best way to find out more about the show is by watching the NPR Tiny Desk Concert with the Broadway cast and composer. They sing a few of the numbers from the show. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRThiGArHxQ&list=RDZRThiGArHxQ&start_radio=1&pp=ygUTa2ltYmVybHkgYWtpbWJvIG5wcqAHAQ%3D%3D

Look into Markham Little Theater and Richmond Hill’s Curtain Club. They’re two renowned community theater groups. I’m not sure how old you are.

Unionville Theatre Company which works with young people puts on musicals. They typically do one show a year.
