Mirvish is extending the Celine Dion jukebox musical "Titanique" until Jan. 19. Then it's setting sail back to Montreal's Segal Centre (where it made its Canadian premiere) for an "encore engagement," from Feb. 6 to 16. #theaTO

The cast of the Canadian premiere of “A Strange Loop” has just been announced. Many familiar faces, and some new ones too.

Loved the show on Broadway and looking forward to it at Soulpepper. #theaTO
