New musical theatre listings on the VMTC!

by

I’ve brought the Vancouver Musical Theatre Calendar (VMTC) up to date with a clutch of new listings – mostly for the new year, and mostly thanks to the musical bounty that is the Arts Club’s new season. Read on for all the details!

But wait, there’s more! Two more pantos on the VMTC

by

Hi again… Sorry about two emails, but I belatedly discovered there are more pantos coming up than you can shake a website at! Yes, I missed TWO additional upcoming shows in my last update: the irreverent “Cinderella: An East Van Panto”, and the out-of-this-world “SPACE The Pantomime”! That has been corrected, so the new, complete […]

Broadway Chorus’ “Fraulein J” a funny, feel-good crowd pleaser

by

The latest offering from The Broadway Chorus, “Fraulein J’s Camp for Children”, triumphed over some first-act challenges and had me utterly won over soon after intermission.

Not (mostly) because I was settling in for a double helping of unknown theatrical quantities, but because I felt my energy fading from a long, jam-packed day and feared sinking into a slumber when the lights went […]
