“Refreshingly ludicrous!” From the co-creator of South Park and The Book of Mormon The New York Times The Sound Of Music’s Elicia MacKenzie and Shrek’s Liam Tobin bite into juicy parts. Before the wildly successful South Park and The Book of Mormon, there was Trey Park’s fan-favourite film Cannibal! The Musical. This highly anticipated new stage production tells the hilarious and (mostly) true story of Alferd Packer, the only person ever convicted of cannibalism in America. This parody of classic American musicals like Oklahoma!, is country western, meets court room drama, meets survival story, meets laugh out loud fun! Co-created with additional book, music and lyrics by Christopher Bond, Aaron Eyre and Trevor Martin, known for their critically-acclaimed Evil Dead the Musical - Cannibal! The Musical promises to be hysterical! Starring Liam Tobin as Packer (Shrek the Musical) and Elicia MacKenzie (selected by Andrew Lloyd Webber to play Maria in The Sound of Music) as Polly Pry, Packer’s unexpected love interest. They share the stage with some best-known Second City alum: Marty Adams, Mike “Nug” Nahrgang, Trevor Martin and Mark Andrada. Premieres February 10, 2015 at David Mirvish’s Panasonic Theatre FREE FOR ALL Take advantage of these exclusive downloads of three songs from Cannibal! The Musical. Here’s the background on them, including one of five new songs. SHPADOINKLE DAY This is Trey Parker’s answer to Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’, sung by the hero, Alferd Packer (Liam Tobin). Happy and upbeat, this song will stick in your head. THIS SIDE OF ME A beautiful ballad sung by Polly Pry (Elicia MacKenzie), a hard-nosed reporter who’s bent on getting the story of a lifetime. Meeting Alferd “The Cannibal” Packer, she soon realizes he’s not what she expected. MEAT MY DESTINY One of five new featured songs written for the show this gospel-inspired duet by Christopher Bond, Aaron Eyre and Trevor Martin, is performed by Alferd and his guardian Angel (Tobin and MacKenzie). Alferd and his mining pals are lost and starving in the Rockies when he realizes that perhaps his destiny is to sacrifice himself for the group.

THEATER “The production delivers everything” Cleveland Plains Dealer HHHH “ Forget Walking Dead– we’ve got dancing dead!” The Toronto Star The hilarious, record-breaking musical takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films and combines them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time. Five college friends spend the weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods after accidentally unleashing an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-killing hero), to save the day. Audience members sitting in the “splatter zone” run the risk of leaving the theater covered in fake blood as the production incorporates some fun ‘real-life’ effects during certain scenes. In addition to some dismembered limbs, demons telling bad jokes, and catchy tunes (“Look Who’s Evil Now”, “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons”), the show features a saucy combination of wit and sexual innuendo that keeps audiences laughing out loud. You don’t need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don’t need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don’t even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you like having fun... this show is for you.

The successor of Marcel Marceau!” El Espacio, Colombia THEATER South Africa’s longest running musical returns to North America “A joyous Celebration of South African Democracy!” Philadelphia Tribune In 1999, Richard Loring recruited a group of young people from the dusty streets of Soweto. From hundreds of hopefuls, only 30 young aspiring performers were chosen. The next year was taken up with vocal classes and intensive dance instruction which, for most of these youngsters, was their first opportunity to enter the world of professional theater. “A more high-energy infectious uplifting show would be impossible to find!” “Run, don’t walk to get tickets to this exhilarating spectacle!” Times Picayune Toronto Star Mr. Loring had a vision: to create a show that celebrated the diversity of South Africa, uniting the creative talents of choreographers, musicians, writers and performers from all walks of life. He wanted to create a show that reflected the true South Africa, one that captured the sense of history and hope for the future that the people carry in them. Working closely with choreographers David Matamela and Debbie Rakusin, they created an inspired fusion of Afro- and Euro-centric forms of dance, a style which became a trademark of this award-winning show. The long hours of rehearsal were rewarded when the company was invited to perform at the Millennial Celebration on Robben Island. On December 31, 1999 the “Stick Dance” was performed in Cell Block B, the very place where former South African President Nelson Mandela had been a prisoner for some 18 years. The result was an explosive and emotional performance televised around the world and seen by over 250 million viewers. Based on the CNN broadcast, Mr. Loring received a deluge of demands that the school start a show and he began working diligently with the choreographers and composers. During this time, he was introduced to Dr. Don Mattera, and his book of poetry – Azanian Love Song. Moved by the visceral images in the poetry, Mr. Loring asked Dr. Mattera to become a part of African Footprint and he agreed, allowing his poetry to be set to music. African Footprin t performs befo re Nelson Mande on Robben Isla la nd on Millenni um Night, 31st December, 1999 African Footprint opened May 11, 2000 at the Globe Theatre at the Gold Reef Casino in Johannesburg to an audience of celebrities and dignitaries, such as South African President Thabo Mbeki. It was an instant hit and went on to become not only the first musical to feature a mixed race cast, but also the longest running musical in South African history! Since its inception, African Footprint has toured Europe, Australia, China, Israel, India, Mexico, North America, and has been invited for command performances twice before HRH Prince Charles and HRH Prince Phillip. “An impressive show not to be missed!” “African Footprint is a remarkable experience that makes you feel a little more well-rounded— after you catch your breath!” South Florida Times Daily Gazette Schenectady cast performs for African Footprint rgh at , Duke of Edinbu HRH Prince Phillip , 2005 London on 9 June St James’ Palace, THEATER “Splendid staging!” Montreal Gazette Is there a mystery to be solved? Very much so ... it’s elementary. WinNer of a Record 5 Montreal Theater Awards including Best Production and Best Director 3 WEEKS SOLD OUT IN MONTREAL Celebrate all things “Sherlock” - but not too seriously. The iconic moments are here with a heart-felt tip of the hat and a knowing wink to the audience. A murder in a locked room, a race through the streets of London, the trademark deductions, the chemical analysis, the observation of mud and rust stains. Homage is paid to the tales penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - the deerstalker hat and the magnifying glass - the extraordinary relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson - the witty repartee. Meet Sherlock’s arch enemy – Moriarty - and the one woman who ever made an impression on Sherlock and “got away”; Chief Inspector Lestrade from the newly-formed Scotland Yard does his best to maintain law and order, aided (and hindered) by his constables. And of course, no tale of Sherlock Holmes would be complete without the landlady of that infamous address, 221B Baker Street, Mrs. Hudson. “A witty, crowd-pleasing comedy” Montreal Nightlife THEATER When Mars and Venus collide, the adventures are earth-shatteringly hysterical! • OH WHAT A NIGHT • BYE BYE BABY • SHERRY • RAG DOLL • WALK LIKE A MAN • BIG GIRLS DON’T CRY • Celebrating the Music of FRANKIE VALLI & THE FOUR SEASONS Join us for a nostalgic trip down memory lane to celebrate the hit songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

In the tradition of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on the banks of the Thames in London, Classical Theatre Project creates theatrical experiences hearkening the informality of Elizabethan audiences, creating an atmosphere of conviviality, community and fun. Imagine a production so intimate that the tragic heroes wander just an arm’s length from the audience, weaving back and forth from the stage though the seating of the audience. It is a production so interactive and visceral that Mercutio will jump on a patron’s table, take a swig of his beer and convince Romeo to join the party. “Not only marvellous but to be marvelled at. I dare you not to have a good time.” - Mooney on Theatre With over 10 million YouTube hits to his name, Piff performed live to over 200,000 people in 2012, including The Secret Policeman’s Ball with The Muppets at Radio City Music Hall, a hit nine night solo season at Sydney Opera House and opening for Mumford & Sons on their recent UK tour.

THEATER “Sweet and sassy!” The New York Times “You leave few cabaret evenings feeling exhilarated after peering into the souls of more than a dozen musical theater characters, all embodied by the same singer... Both shows are master classes in how a singer arrives at the right balance of the self, the personality of a song and the character who sings it.” “A Marvelous Time!” Amsterdam News Stephen Holden, The New York Times “A Winner!” NY Beacon A joyful musical celebration of life, love and family.
