Wicked in Toronto
Tickets Now on Sale!
Back by popular demand the show Entertainment Weekly calls “the best musical of the decade!”
After breaking box office records and selling out in record time during its 2005 and 2006 engagements in Toronto, WICKED, the smash-hit musical, will return to the Canon Theatre, October 20 through November 28. Tickets are now on sale!
Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One – born with emerald green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. 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 new musical in a long time” (USA Today).
Wicked, the musical about the warring witches of Oz, is returning to Toronto for the third time in five years.
The musical is scheduled to play at the Canon Theatre beginning Oct. 20, Mirvish Productions announced Tuesday.
Wicked, a tale set in Oz before the arrival of Dorothy, won a Grammy Award and three Tony Awards on Broadway.
It played in Toronto in 2005, returned in 2006 and continues to play on Broadway.
There are currently eight productions of Wicked worldwide, including two North American tours, productions in San Francisco, London and Australia and productions in Japanese and German.
Stephen Schwartz created the music and lyrics and Winnie Holzman wrote the book, with direction by Joe Mantello. Cast is to be confirmed later, Mirvish said.
Wicked will play Oct. 20 to Nov. 28 in Toronto.
Mirvish, which owns four downtown theatres, has been booking touring productions to fill them, including Cats, which is coming for a week in May. The company announced its subscription season, including the musical Billy Elliot, last month.

Toronto is Canada’s most celebrated city. With fantastic cultural attractions and plenty of interesting history and architecture, Toronto is a wonderful place to call home. If you are interested in buying a home in Toronto, this article will help ease the transition and inform your decision.
From 18th century British roots as a muddy colonial town, Toronto has burgeoned into North America’s fifth-largest city and a hot spot for films and festivals. Nearly 100 languages are spoken in its multicultural mosaic of neighborhoods. You can visit the espresso bars of Little Italy’s College Street, have mezes (Greek tapas) on Danforth Avenue or sniff the global trade winds of Kensington Market, which offers fare as varied as European cheeses and Caribbean seafood.
Like a counterweight to Francophone Montreal, Toronto is Canada’s de facto Anglophonic capital. Here you can take high tea at the Windsor Arms or sleep at the “King Eddy” hotel, where royalty once laid their heads. Walk down cobblestone streets lighted by gas lamps in the neighborhood of Old York and stop for gourmet noshes at the St. Lawrence Market. Ride a quaint streetcar east to the Distillery Historic District, where artisans, art galleries and coffeehouses jostle for space.
After dark, you can head back downtown to the city’s Entertainment District for evolving nightlife or to the Theatre Block, which boasts the world’s third-largest number of onstage productions, after New York and London. Elsewhere around the city, the music scene is vibrant. Sip a beer and listen to some tunes at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern, where Sting once played in his underwear, or the vintage blues-and-jazz dive at the Rex Hotel, both on Queen Street.
Try to time your visit to catch one of Toronto’s major festivals: indie music at North by Northeast and Pride Week celebrations in June, the Caribbean carnival of Caribana in mid-July or the Toronto International Film Festival in September. This year’s film fest, in “Hollywood North,” starts Thursday and runs through the 17th. But don’t forget to escape the city while you’re here. The awesome natural spectacle of Niagara Falls is just a two-hour drive that passes tempting detours onto the back roads of the Niagara Peninsula’s wine country, where you can taste sweet ice wine made from frozen grapes.
Le Royal Meridien King Edward is a historic showpiece, with doubles from $165; (800) 543-4300, www.lemeridien-kingedward.com. A fresh boutique hotel, SoHo Metropolitan boasts the epicurean Senses bakery and restaurant downstairs. Rooms from $300; (866) 764-6638, www.metropolitan.com/soho. Toronto’s residential blocks burst with B&Bs. Doubles start at $50; www.bbcanada.com. Hipsters and artistic types crash at the Drake Hotel in Queen West Village. Doubles from $132; (416) 531-5042, www.thedrakehotel.ca.
So there you have it. A nice city in which to buy a home. Slightly north of the States.

Public transit from Downtown Toronto to Hamilton Airport (or downton Hamilton)?
HI, I am from BC and I can’t find a very clear answer on how to get to Hamilton airport using public transit.
I need to be at the airport by 6 am on the 22nd of November for my 7:15 am flight. I will be coming from Bond Hotel at 65 Dundas Street East Toronto. Please help. Thanks
If you need to be there at 6 AM, there is no transit that will get you there in time. This would normally be a 2.5 to 3 hour trip allowing for transfers, but the timing is a problem.
On Sunday, the first GO train to Aldershot (with bus connection to Hamilton) leaves at 6:43, arriving at 8:10.The first GO express bus from Toronto to downtown Hamilton leaves at 7:30, arriving at 8:25.
In Hamilton, HSR route 20, which serves the airport, doesn’t run on Saturday or Sunday.
You will either have to take a cab all the way from Toronto, or stay in Hamilton on Saturday night and take a cab.
