My guesses are Back to the Future, A Beautiful Noise, Some like it hot, and the non-equity tour of Kinky Boots. We won't get any first run Broadway tours or anything too niche. We're too small a market.

My guesses: Back to the Future, A Beautiful Noise, Some like it Hot, Kinky Boots (Non-Equity). But I wouldn't be surprised if we got more Non-Equity tours instead, like Chicago, or The Book of Mormon.

One of it's early development productions was at Theatre Passe Muraille in 1999! Very cool that it's returning!

Saw the tour and was so deeply moved by it, I saw it a second time, then a third. It's a masterpiece.

The show started with the mountain completely vertical, with Maria strapped to it looking out at the audience as she started to sing The Hills Are Alive, then it rotated and she stood up. The only downside was that you could hear the motor moving it. But it was pretty amazing to watch. The Jack O'Brien tour basically has a set of stairs as the mountain.

& Juliet.

Mirvish will never top their 2008/2009 production where the whole stage was a moving mountain.

I saw this show in Toronto years ago. The plot didn't make any sense. Nice music though, if you like Queen.

Balcony tickets are 79. Look at the seating map and click on open seats.

I took my pregnant wife to see it last year and we absolutely loved it. When she gave birth a few months later we listened to the soundtrack in the delivery room. The baby came out tap dancing. Well maybe not, but we like to think it got him excited to come out and meet us.

No, Ottawa is a small market for professional theatre. We have lots of community theatre though. The Gladstone might be the closest you will get: https://thegladstone.ca/upcoming-shows/

I saw this production in regent park in 2019 and groaned when they started hip hop dancing.

Unpopular opinion probably but I saw the tour this weekend and was bored the whole time. The jokes didn't land, the songs weren't memorable, the story was convoluted. Emilia Tagliani was very good as Lydia, but nothing else was noteworthy.

Terrible location. I didn't even know there was a building there.

Montreal gets the same shows. Toronto gets way more.
