From the press release sent to me this morning, there are 11 shows that will certainly appeal to the tastes of all theatre goers.
This line up looks very exciting.
David Mirvish stated in a press release: “I knew the first season back needed to be spectacular, and I believe we have succeeded in assembling a slate of plays that run the gamut from hilarious to powerful to magical, and musicals that are just as special.”
The return season includes a seven-show Main Season Subscription, a three-show Off-Mirvish Subscription, and the return of two immensely popular hits, Come From Away and Hamilton.
‘Come From Away’ reopens December 7, 2021, at The Royal Alexandra Theatre. ‘Hamilton’ returns February 2023.
The 2021/2022 Main Season Subscription includes:
