David Mirvish has finalized the upcoming season of shows that features everything from Angela Lansbury to figure skating onstage and the epic story of the Titanic.
Figure skater and now-stage star Elvis Stojko was on hand as the emcee and will appear in Blades on Stage, a world premiere that combines ice skating and musical theatre. Other notable shows treading the boards include an all-Canadian cast of the musical Once.
The legendary actress best-known from television’s Murder She Wrote, Angela Lansbury will star in Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit. Lansbury appeared via video to greet the crowd.
“It’s a role I performed recently in London and prior to that on Broadway, and I’m joined by an outstanding cast of actors, wonderful actors directed by the great Michael Blakemore. It’s such a delightful play and I can’t think of a more exciting way to return to Toronto. I look forward to seeing you soon.”
Other notable shows include Wicked and The Book of Mormon. It’s the largest Mirvish season in their history with a total of 19 shows.
