Something to Crow about

crowSeason announcements for theatre companies for 2024/25 are coming out fast and one notable thing is that a number of shows from Crow’s Theatre have been picked up by other companies.  Both Pierre, Natasha and the Great Comet of 1812 and Fifteen Dogs have been picked up by Mirvish (as Uncle Vanya was this season).  Soulpepper have picked up The Master Plan which will also be seen in Hamilton.  I’ve linked to my reviews which are enthusiastic about all except Pierre, Natasha.  That was a huge hit, especially with people who like Broadway musicals more than I do and, as the prologue warns, it wasn’t written for opera fans who have read War and Peace three times so my views should be viewed through that lens.

Bottom line, if you didn’t catch these shows at Crow’s you may want to take a look.  It also tells you something about the quality of the offerings at Crow’s which have been very high for the last two seasons and audiences have responded.  FWIW the two small to smallish theatres at Crow’s pulled in almost as many punters as the COC’s main stage (and Crow’s numbers are trending in the right direction!).  Maybe you should check out their 2024/25 season too.
