A New Brain: Vancouver Premiere

A New Brain

A New Brain, presented by Pipe Dream Theatre Project, previews tonight, June 16th, at Performance Works on Granville Island.   The musical by William Finn (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Falsettos) and James Lapine (Sunday in the Park with George, Into The Woods) is making its Vancouver debut and runs through June 21st.

Inaugural Post

I haven’t blogged in almost a year and I’m planning on making this launch as easy as possible.  I’d hoped to be able to cover Monday night’s Jessie Awards, but I’m still a little behind schedule.  This coming week, however, there are three shows that I’m planning to see and review.

  • Tuesday is the Western Canadian premiere of  A New Brain playing at Performance Works on Granville Island.
  • Wednesday has the Broadway Chorus unleashing The Supermusical on an unsuspecting public at the Waterfront Theatre also on Granville Island.
  • And Thursday is the opening preview of the Art’s Club Altar Boyz at the Granville Island Stage.

You can look forward to more posts and notes about these shows as the week progresses.

I have high hopes for what this week of summer Vancouver musical theatre has to offer.
