Broadway Across Canada has announced their exciting new 2014/15 season lineup and the shows are sure to please!
People will be most excited about the Book of Mormon coming to Vancouver on April 7 - 12 next year. The show has won nine Tony Awards and is from the creators of South Park. If you didn't know, songwriter and Tony Award winner Robert Lopez who wrote the songs for Book of Morman, is the same songwriter who wrote the popular hits in Disney's Frozen that is currently taking the world by storm! I'll have to be sure to catch the Book of Mormon when it comes! I heard that it is very funny and the tickets will sell out very quickly based on past experiences!

Also, for the first time ever, Flashdance - the Musical will be playing in Vancouver and Wicked is coming back to Vancouver by popular demand! I've watched Wicked in London years ago and it was an amazing show. The songs are so catchy and the song Defying Gravity is so powerful. I have the soundtrack but it doesn't compare to watching it live. Be sure to catch it in May later this year!

The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for “the most complete – and completely satisfying – musical in a long time.” (USA Today).
