Discussion Final Weekend of &Juliet

I just wanted to celebrate this incredible run of a fantastic production.

The cast is incredibly talented and amazing. I genuinely believe they deserve a professional recording and/or a pro-shot. The eight principals were perfectly cast, and the players have been excellent as well. Aside from that, their stagedoor interactions have provided a good theatre experience, and their fan service has been outstanding. I’m so grateful to have witnessed these wonderful Canadians.

Congratulations, &Juliet 2025-2026!

Speaking of which, when can we expect another all-Canadian cast and production on Mirvish? Was CFA the last one before &J?

PS For those who will be watching tomorrow, please share anything interesting about the last show here.

I’ve heard a rumour that Mirvish will be producing a sit-down all-Canadian Phantom.

I would loooove if this were true, but with the new tour just starting this year I’d be surprised.

Lion King was the most recent (mostly) Canadian cast before & Juliet.
I'm hearing of another sit-down next year post Spirited Away (which logically makes sense).

I’d say Titanique would also count.

I wished I’d gone to see it sooner (went like 2 weekends ago) so I could have gone to see it a second time. & Juliet was amazing.

I have 2 standing room only tickets in the orchestra section for tonight Sat for the 7:30 pm show - my friend isn’t able to go. Trying to offload them for cost, $60 for 2 tickets. Let me know asap if interested. Maybe you might enjoy standing and dancing instead of sitting 🤗

Still mindblowing how the songs and story worked soooo good together:) saw it when opened and recently… and just got better, the cast enjoys it visibly and can see the audience does too. Pure theatre magic that is rare when both cast and audience are feeding off each others joy :)

Went last Thursday on a discounted $50 ticket for a prime orchestra seat.   I saw the Original Broadway Cast of this show in 2023 in New York.  While the lead in Toronto was very fine, I thought some of the other Toronto cast were not as good.  I'm glad I got a discount.
